all in Gambling

Every year in advance of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, we produce a feature on which horses in the run for the roses might most benefit from a wet track on race day.

In his regular gambling blog, John Piassek presents his top picks for the upcoming weekend in horse racing, offering betting options at different budget levels. Piassek’s Plays is brought to you by Horseplayers.com, the official online qualifying site of the Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge (BCBC) and National Horseplayers Championship (NHC).

For the sixth year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2022 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”

The 148th running of the $3 million, Grade 1 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve brings together a full field of 20 Saturday, May 7 at Churchill Downs. In addition, there are two horses that are also-eligible and can run if any starters in the main body of the race withdraw by 9 a.m. ET on the morning of Friday, May 6.

Have you seen the field that has assembled for Friday’s running of the $1.25 million Grade 1 Longines Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs? Most folks are talking about the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, and understandably so – the Derby has drawn an impressive group of horses.
