all in Gambling

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.”

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 autumn 2025 betting menu at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park includes a new wager, the $1 Sunset Pick 6. The Sunset Pick 6 will feature a low 15% takeout and will be comprised of the final three races from both Santa Anita and Gulfstream on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays this season.

It’s time for opening weekend at Santa Anita Park! The SoCal stalwart officially opens on Friday, with Saturday’s program boasting a number of key races on the road to the 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships.

With the 10-race program comes plenty of opportunities to take swings. Here, we’ll take a look at a few horses expected to go off at decent prices who could outrun their odds. Let’s dive in!

Live racing at Santa Anita Park returns this week with a blockbuster Saturday of racing, featuring five graded stakes races headlined by the Goodwood Stakes (formerly known as the Awesome Again Stakes and California Crown Stakes Presented by SirDavis Whisky).
