Tourneys and Contests

[BGboothA]

Anyone know of a website that lists upcoming Horse Tourney's and contests. I would really like to start playing in more of them, but I just can't find them.

I play at Derby Wars Wed-Sun, just got 2nd of 62 today. Don't know of many others, I think there is a site horsetourneys dot com but its mostly feeders to NHC tourneys and horse players world series.

Yeah I found DerbyWars today, looks great, but I can't sign up with my Washington State address......stupid state.

The main contests are $2 W/P but they also have "survivor" contests where you have to pick a horse to show throughout a race card.Usually they have a main daily contest that is $35-$47 buy in on weekdays and $47-$115-$175 on weekends.The $175 contests are big ones that they have maybe once a month with either a 20k or 30k pot where the winner gets 10k and 2nd gets 5k.

Also they have added smaller buy ins for all the newbies out there that are only $4-$11 I think but it may be even less and heads up tournaments where you only play 1 person.

The only gripe I have nowadays is that the "schedule maker" seems to like the west coast tracks(SA,HOL,DMR).The big daily contests are basically a Santa Anita contest with a few Gulfstream races.They have all but disregarded the AQU inner.I would've preferred half and half as I'm sure most would that aren't located in California.

yeah Derby Wars looks great....I am thinking about getting my brother in CO to sign up for me to use. Just think about the logic of my state.

Gay Marriage = No Problem
Legalized Weed = Okay
Derby Wars = BAAAD!!!

This page lists the different contests as they come and go, perhaps you'll find what you want here.

I checked it out looks cool. They never offer NYRA tracks or just not in the winter? Thats the only circuit I follow closely.

Just the inner...In the spring/summer/fall most of the contests have a 3 or 4 track mix of Bel/Kee/CD/Hol/DMR/Sar.
