PTF back here and still abroad if you can believe it! The Royal Meeting at Ascot may have ended, but I have somehow stumbled my way across the Irish Sea to wonderful Ireland. In time, I will find myself back in America. In time.
Thank you again to everyone who continues to show up for these BCBC qualifier contests we’re putting on with Horseplayers.com each and every week! And a special congratulations to our first DOUBLE QUALIFIER of the 2025 Horseplayers Tour, Fabian Sultan, who also won a playoff seat last week! Every player in the 2025 ITM Horseplayers Tour can earn up to three entries for the playoffs, but only one entry will be rewarded per person in the top four per week.
Of course, we also congratulate the others inside the top four of last week’s contest: Anthony Buzza, Togo Travalia and John Bush.
We’re already compiling a strong list of ‘cappers and gamblers for these playoffs, which begin on October 3. The champ of the playoffs will receive a $10,000 entry into the 2025 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge at no additional cost! But don’t forget — playing in these weekly contests can also earn you a spot into a designated BCBC qualifier for that weekend!
And ESPECIALLY DON’T FORGET: all of the proceeds from these contests go to helping these athletes we love to watch and bet in competition through a pair of aftercare charities, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga. It’s an opportunity for everybody to win, and it only costs $20 to enter!
