all in Gambling

For the fifth 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 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”

America’s Best Racing and handicapper (and avid gambler) Monique Vág team up to provide horseplayers with their best bets of the weekend.

Vág will identify her top picks as well as at least one longshot play of the weekend, a nice opportunity to swing for the fences on a win bet or to take a shot with a show bet. She also will occasionally look for strong exacta plays for the weekend or try to spot a nice opportunity for other wagers.

This Weekend’s Bets

With a purse of $1 million, Saturday’s Grade 3 FanDuel Turf Sprint Stakes at Kentucky Downs is one of the richest and most competitive races taking place this weekend.

The Grade 2, $1 million Calumet Turf Cup Stakes drew a full field of 12, plus four also-eligible entrants, all vying to win an automatic entry into the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf in November at Del Mar.

The Pick 4 and the Pick 5 are often considered the most glamorous wagers in racing. Especially on big racing days, bettors pore over the sequences trying to find the best way to hit and make a big score.
