Breeders Cup Challenge

Lone Star use to have a great NHC qualifier tournament. Even thier pre-qualifier events in the past offered great prizes into the several thousand dollar range. Before, thier contests consists of any 10 races from 4 tracks with bets for trifecta, supers, exactas and WPS.

Now their prequalifier has been watered down to the point you will be lucky to win $600 bucks and the end prize is a trip to the Finals in vegas with no other cash prize. Also, the format has been changed to a strict 10 race $2 WP bet which is a boring format. This format is for picking winners rather than making money.

This is not my favorite format either. But, it is certainly not a format for picking winners. One 25-1 horse will beat nine short priced winners. This format is all about making money.

I haven't been to the NHC at Treasure Island, but between the NHC at Red Rock, HPWS, and BC Betting Challenge, the BCBC is the best tournament by a landslide. All of the reasons Paul laid out make it the best. Format, setting, venue, etc.

The treasure island sportsbook has to be one of the worst in vegas. No surprise the NHC tournament is played there.

I played in the Red Rocks 4th of July event in 2010. That was a decent venue.

Win cap is typically 20/1 and a place cap at 10/1 but I see your point
