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 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.

The 13 Breeders’ Cup races traditionally draw very competitive fields where it’s difficult to have much confidence in any one horse, but once in a while a race comes along where the favorite looks like such a probable winner that handicappers have trouble envisioning any other outcome.

The Grade 1, $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic drew a field of 11, including Arrogate, winner of the Grade 1, $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes earlier this year.

The sixth running of the Grade 2, $200,000 Twilight Derby on Saturday at Santa Anita Park is a wide-open event with a field of 11, five of whom are traveling from the East Coast or Midwest for this 3-year-old-only stakes race. Three of the 11 enter the Twilight Derby off stakes wins on grass.
