Poll the connections of each Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve starter and you might find some interesting answers to a question about the weather for America’s most famous race.

You might even see a rain dance or two in response.

Dan’s Double of the week, featuring handicapping analysis from America’s Best Racing’s New York correspondent Dan Tordjman, is brought to you by Horseplayers.com, the official online qualifying site of the Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge (BCBC) and National Horseplayers Championship (NHC).

Held at seven-eighths of a mile at the sunny seaside track called Del Mar, the $150,000, Grade 2 Pat O’Brien Stakes is a race in which pure sprinters routinely face off against longer-winded opponents cutting back in distance.

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
