all in Gambling

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).

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.

The $300,000, Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes is a “Win & You’re In” for the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint this fall and drew a field of nine very good sprinters. Last year’s Bing Crosby Stakes winner, Collusion Illusion, is back to defend his title.

The Saratoga Race Course meet is in full swing! Through the first nine days, we’ve seen plenty of great racing action, featuring some of the top horses, jockeys, and trainers in the country.

With almost a quarter of the meet already in the books, we’ve seen some trends begin to emerge. It can be important to know if speed is good or bad or if certain jockeys are hot or cold.

Here, we’ll take a look at trends that have emerged at Saratoga thus far.
