all in Breeders' Cup

A year ago, nine runners from Japan participated in the Breeders’ Cup. At that time, it was a record. That there would be more horses making the voyage across the Pacific Ocean for the Breeders’ Cup this weekend wouldn’t have surprised anyone.

But rather than incremental change, Japanese connections have kicked in the proverbial door to this year’s world championship at Del Mar with 19 contenders making the trip.

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.

The FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile presented by PDJF is one of those races that underscores why the event is called the World Championships. A strong international field once again has assembled for the one-mile turf test in which foreign runners have been victorious in the last four editions and five of the last six.

To own a horse is to participate in a dream. Particularly a Thoroughbred racehorse. And when that 2-year-old qualifies for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint on “Future Stars Friday,” your dreams become more exciting!   

For the eighth 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 2024 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2024 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”
