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.

Saturday’s $2 million, Grade 1 Ainsworth Franklin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky Downs takes place at the unusual distance of 6 1/2 furlongs (13/16ths of a mile) on turf. It’s longer than typical turf sprints, but considerably shorter than a mile.

Kentucky Downs takes center stage on Saturday with a spectacular card highlighted by the $2.5 million KTDF Kentucky Turf Cup Invitational Stakes.

Santa Anita’s 16-day Autumn Meet begins on Sept. 26 with a new wager, the $1 Sunset Pick 6. The Sunset Pick 6 will be comprised of the final three races from both Santa Anita and Gulfstream Park on days that the pair are running. Available to retail customers only (no CAW players), the Sunset Pick 6 features a low 15% takeout and will not have a consolation payout.
