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 15-16, 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 2021, Alan Levitt won the Flo-Cal Faceoff and earned $206,000 from a total cash pool of $570,000.
Leg 2 - April 9-10, Players Championship
Entering its second year, the Players Championship is a two-day, Saturday-and-Sunday 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, Dan Wilde won the event, taking home $213,000 from a total cash pool of $555,000.
Leg 3 - August 2022, Spa & Surf Showdown

The 2021 edition saw a record online purse of $644,000, with the winner taking home $248,000.
