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.”

Fans and horseplayers following the road to the 2024 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve will direct their attention to Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Fla., March 9 for the 44th running of the Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby.
