I don't play any of the TVG contests.  I do play several on Horseplayers/ Horsetourney.com.  I usually take a few shots a year to try and qualify for the NHC tournament in Las Vegas in February.  ( next week actually)  I played in the NHC in 2016 and 2017 but have whiffed the past 3 years trying to qualify. I was 3rd out of 85 a couple weeks ago in one and only the top 2 got NHC entries but it paid 3x the entry cost so I kept trying to qualify up until yesterday but had no success

I usually play in the Keeneland Grade 1 gamble every year in the Spring and then they have a two day tourney in Saratoga that is a ton of fun that I qualified for online 3 years in a row now as opposed to paying the entry.  The BCBC tournament is great too, now that you can play online as well.  Played that a few times.  I also do a lot of head to head stuff on horseplayers.com which is a lot of fun.   The issue I have with a lot of these live money contests is I am more a pick 3-5 type player and in these tournaments its Win, place show, exacta, Tris and doubles only.  You have to play with big balls in the live tourneys if you want to be competitive.  I have gone all in early and been broke after 2-3 races but if want to give yourself a shot and your opinions are right it can pay off. The NHC is mythical win/place which I don't mind as I usually take long shots and if you get lucky you can compete but unfortunately I haven't had any success the two years I was fortunate enough to play in Vegas.  That is soo much fun though.  Great time
