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.

This Weekend’s Bets

The $200,000, Grade 2 San Clemente Stakes brings together a field of 12 fillies led by Going Global, who was imported from Ireland to the United States this winter and has since won four straight stakes races on the turf, including the Grade 3 Honeymoon Stakes in May. Among the other 11, there are many with stakes credentials.

Our #Pedigeek “Term of the Week” is:

TAIL-FEMALE   

Yes, we are talking about horses, but “tail-female” is not in reference to the tail on the backside of a filly or mare. Tail-female, in relation to pedigree, simply refers to the maternal line directly descending from a prospect’s dam.

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.”
