all in Gambling

Welcome to Noel Michaels’ Weekend Winners, the place to go for weekend best bets and spot plays from veteran handicapper and tournament-play pioneer Noel Michaels. Check back every week for a couple of highlighted selections designed to help you cash a few bets and make some money.

What do you get when you pit a bunch of talented speed horses accustomed to securing easy leads against each other in a championship race? You get Saturday’s running of the $2 million, Grade 1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Santa Anita Park, and maybe — just maybe — you get a stretch-running winner.

When was the last time the $2 million Grade 1 FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Juvenile presented by TAA drew a field as strong as the one slated to assemble at Santa Anita Park this Friday? The 1 1/16-mile race annually attracts a quality field, but this year’s renewal is above-average even by the Juvenile’s lofty standards.

The 40th running of the Grade 1, $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic brings together a big field of 12, with nine entering the race off of group/graded stakes victories.

For the seventh year in a row, 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 every weekend leading up to the 2023 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2023 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”
