all in Gambling

Saturday is a big day on the road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, with three official Derby points races on the agenda. Perhaps the most intriguing from a wagering perspective is the $250,000, Grade 3 Withers Stakes at Aqueduct, which has attracted a field of 10 lightly raced 3-year-olds.

The Grade 2, $350,000 Lambholm South Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park marks the sophomore debut for Eclipse Award winning 2-year-old male Classic Empire, who won four of five races last year including the Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

Whether it’s the run up to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands or the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series, there’s great racing action nearly every weekend of the year. Starting this year, 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 leading up to the Derby and the Breeders’ Cup.

Welcome to Los Ponies Longshots! Each week, America’s Best Racing’s Southern California correspondent Jose Contreras – Los Ponies to those who follow him on Twitter – will provide two or three longshots at 8-to-1 odds or better on the morning line that he identifies as strong value bets. Contreras also will map out a betting strategy for how to play his selections and keep track of his return on investment (ROI).

Stop back each week if you love a longshot!
