all in Gambling

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 $500,000 Woodbine Oaks Presented by Budweiser ranks as Canada’s most prestigious race for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies, but the importance of this 1 1/8-mile race runs much deeper. It’s also an important steppingstone toward the Queen’s Plate Stakes, Canada’s historic equivalent to the Kentucky Derby.

Saturday’s $500,000, Grade 1 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga Race Course pits seven 3-year-old fillies against one another, with the winner getting an automatic starting spot into the Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff on the first weekend in November.
