You might want to look into some of the Daily Racing Form Tournaments. They have weekly free contests that are "feeders" for other contests like the Horse Player World Series, Breeder's Cup Betting Contest etc. The former is also held in Vegas. These are very competitive contests that sometimes have a couple of thousand players, but I have no doubt that you and Ruffian might do well. They are also win/place format. I think you have to become a member of Daily Racing Form. I don't think there is any charge for this. I did it years ago and there was no charge. Horseplayers.com is another provider of tournaments and they are the one doing the Beat Byk finale, but I don't think they have as many free tournaments as DRF.com

Cal, I believe that DRF discontinued their tournaments a few months ago. Two that I would recommend to horseplayers who can hit price picks are (1) publichandicapper.com, who have a 4 race competition each Saturday with a variety of prizes and (2) Del Mar Race Track, who have several online contests each year.

You are right about drf. I knew they were no longer affiliated with the NHC, but didn't realize that they had quit tournaments altogether. For the daring among us, and I am not necessarily one, some of these pay for play sites do have some reasonably priced "feeders". I saw some as low as $18 on the Horseplayers site yesterday.

DRF's reasons for no longer offering their contests were rather vague. They referred to "circumstances beyond their control" but did not elaborate any further. It may have come down to something as simple as the corporate bean counters determined it wasn't profitable enough.

A couple of years ago I was in e-ponies and got into a few of them. I won a winner take all for $250. Over 600 contestants on that one. I got the write up for a few others.

That was a great site and I still belong to it but those days are over. We had teams of 3 people and it was over in a year. My team won the last one. It was great. But the fellow who was in charge of the scoring had to give it up. Since then only a few left on Saturday for contests..

Another of these sites is HorseTourneys. They have the contests where each player puts so much in the pot and then the winner takes all and they also have contests that are feeders to other tournaments at various racing venues.
