Big-Race Showdown: Doubling Down at Del Mar
Gambling
Horse racing’s second season – the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series and the run up to the world championships of horse racing at Del Mar on Nov. 4 and 5 – is underway! That means there’s great racing action nearly every weekend from here on out. 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 Breeders’ Cup.
The players' picks will be posted here and a running bankroll will be kept to track their success all year long. Bankrolls will be tabulated on the basis of a $2 win bet on top selections and $2 exacta and $2 trifecta box bets of each player’s top three selections. Your players are Eric Bialek, Acacia Courtney, C.J. Johnsen, Bryan Simpkins, and Dan Tordjman.
For this week, the featured races are the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic Stakes, a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” race for the Breeders’ Cup Classic, and the Del Mar Handicap Presented by the Japan Racing Association, a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” race for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf. Both races from Del Mar will be televised on NBCSN Saturday with live coverage from 8 - 9 p.m. ET.
