all in Gambling

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.

The $500,000 Johnnie Walker Natalma Stakes drew a quality field of 2-year-old fillies set to compete in the one-mile, Grade 1 turf race at Woodbine that serves as a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the Oct. 31 John Deere Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

The 2025 Belmont at the Big A fall meet, filled with important races and big purses, is set to open at Aqueduct on Sept. 11. Top horses, jockeys, and trainers will converge on Belmont at the Big A for the season’s best turf racing, top-notch 2-year-old racing, and tons of prime wagering opportunities for handicappers all around.

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.

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.”
