all in Gambling

The 2026 Monmouth Park season is here, and the focus will be on quality racing and wagering when fast times return to the Jersey Shore starting on opening day May 9. If you are not familiar with handicapping Monmouth on a day-to-day basis, there is still plenty of time to brush up on what it takes to pick winners now through Sept. 13.

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.

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.

For the 10th 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 2026 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2026 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Keeneland. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”

Entries are complete, post positions have been drawn, and the field is set for the 152nd running of the $5 million Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve Saturday at Churchill Downs. This year’s run for the roses will showcase 20 of the world’s most talented 3-year-old colts and geldings all aiming to secure their place in racing history.
