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.

Saturday’s Canada Day Racing Festival card at Woodbine is a big one, with five graded stakes races across the 10-race program. Plenty of top-tier horses were among the entries, including ones we may see later this summer in the King’s Plate, Canada’s flagship race for 3-year-olds.

We’ve got a trio of spot plays that could provide some value. Here are some places you may want to take a stand!

For the ninth 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 2025 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”

The field for Saturday’s $1 million. Grade 1 Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs is loaded with quality, as six of the seven horses entered have earned more than $1 million in their careers.

A pivotal question faces horseplayers handicapping Saturday’s $500,000 Fasig-Tipton Fleur de Lis Stakes at Churchill Downs: Will #3 Thorpedo Anna rebound to peak form?
