all in Gambling

Every Sunday Noel Michaels will provide free full-card picks for a one racecard in North America. A veteran handicapper and tournament-play pioneer, Michaels also writes a weekly “Weekend Winners” blog for America’s Best Racing with a focus on key stakes races at marquee tracks. This feature will be straight-forward: full-card picks for one Sunday slate of races of his choosing.

Welcome to Noel Michaels’ Weekend Winners, the place to go for weekend best bets and spot plays from veteran handicapper and tournament-play pioneer Noel Michaels. Check back every week for a couple of highlighted selections designed to help you cash a few bets and make some money.

The Grade 2, $400,000 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes features a field of 10 vying for important “Road to the Derby” qualifying points as well as excellent prize money.

Now that horse racing’s unofficial “second season” has wrapped up with the conclusion of the 41st Breeders’ Cup World Championships, it’s time for sprouts of the “first season” to bloom in a sport that has no letup.

A small but talented field of seven 2-year-old fillies will race 1 1/16 miles over the Churchill Downs dirt in Saturday’s $400,000 Grade 2 Golden Rod Stakes, an important stop on the 2024-25 road to the Longines Kentucky Oaks.
