Every Sunday Noel Michaels will provide free full-card picks for a one racecard in North America. A veteran handicapper and tournament-play pioneer, Michaels also writes a weekly “Weekend Winners” blog for America’s Best Racing with a focus on key stakes races at marquee tracks. This feature will be straight-forward: full-card picks for one Sunday slate of races of his choosing.
We’re coming up on the third leg of the Triple Crown. For the third year in a row, the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets will be held a few hours up I-87 at Saratoga Race Course, and the week features a pair of 14-race cards on Friday and Saturday.
