2022 Preakness Stakes Cheat Sheet: Get to Know the Horses
Big-Race Showdown: Kentucky Derby Trail Trifecta
Gambling
Eclipse Sportswire
For the third 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 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, beginning with the $9 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 26. The handicappers face off in what we like to call “Big-Race Showdown.”
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 $2 exacta and $2 trifecta box bets of each player’s top three selections. We will also be keeping track of which player correctly selects the most winners. Your 2019 players are Dan Cronin, Megan Devine, Emily Gullikson, Candice Hare, Mike McCormick, Nicolle Neulist, Dan Tordjman, and Brian Zipse.
Our featured races for this week, all on Saturday, are: the Grade 3 Withers Stakes at 4:30 p.m. ET at Aqueduct, the Grade 2 Fasig-Tipton Holy Bull Stakes at 5:13 p.m ET at Gulfstream Park, and the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita Park at 5:30 p.m. ET. Coverage of all three races begins at 4 p.m. ET on FS2.
