Tourney Triple

January 14-15 // April 7-8 // August 2023

The Tourney Triple is a special year-long HorseTourneys.com handicapping series that sees the best horseplayers in the country take on three of the year's biggest events - The Flo-Cal Faceoff, Players Championship, and the Spa & Surf Showdown.

Prizes will be awarded to the points leaders at the series' conclusion with bonuses on offer to top finishers, including a $2,000,000 bonus to any player that sweeps the series and $1,000,000 should a player win two of the three series legs.

Leg 1 - January 14-15, Flo-Cal Faceoff

The Flo-Cal Faceoff is a two-day tourney in which contestants make a mythical $2.00 win and place selection on every race of the Gulfstream and Santa Anita cards on both Saturday and Sunday.

In 2022, David Snyder won the Flo-Cal Faceoff and earned $183,750 from a total cash pool of $501,500.

Leg 2 - April 7-8, Players Championship

The Players Championship is a two-day, Friday-and-Saturday competition requiring entrants to make 15 mythical $2.00 win and place picks each day from among 30 designated races at selected racetracks across the country, including (subject to change) Aqueduct, Gulfstream, Keeneland and Santa Anita.

Last year, Riley Drexler won the event, taking home $161,212 from a total cash pool of $451,780.

Leg 3 - August 2023, Spa & Surf Showdown

The Spa & Surf Showdown is perhaps the most anticipated HorseTourneys event on the calendar. This year's renewal is set for August 2023 and will again call on players to make win and place selections on each race of the Saratoga and Del Mar programs on those two days.

Tim Hughes won the 2022 Spa & Surf Showdown to take home $222,552 from a $622,636.
