America’s Best Racing and handicapper (and avid gambler) Monique Vág team up to provide horseplayers with their best bets of the weekend in a regular feature blog that will run on Fridays.
For some posts, Vág will try to identify a 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 look for strong exacta plays for the weekend or occasionally try to spot a nice opportunity for other wagers.

A professional sports bettor practices an oath that most professional horse bettors abstain from with a passion. The 11 to 10 represents the odds on nearly all sports wagers in Las Vegas. It has been this way for a long, long time.

The 16th running of the Grade 1, $300,000 American Oaks at Santa Anita Park is the last Grade 1 stakes of 2017 and it's a doozy, featuring a field of 10 3-year-old fillies going 10 furlongs on the turf.
