I played in the horsetourneys contest, and placed 5th. I did NOT have a great weekend, but the scores were low. My target coming in, with a $120 bankroll was $240-300. I ended up with $135.20
It's important to adjust your targets as the tournament plays out. There were only 3 cap horses all weekend(winner had 2 of them), so about a quarter of the way through day 2, sitting in 11th, I adjusted my target and starting going with lower priced horses. Those that continued going after big prices fell back and I was able to pass them in the stretch.
For cash bankroll tournaments, it usually takes more than 2-2.5 to win, less to be top 10% since people play a lot more conservatively.
