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.

It’s opening weekend at Keeneland, and one of the premier meets in the country boasts a stellar Saturday program. We’ve got 11 races on tap, including five graded stakes that serve as key preps for the 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships.

One of the feature events on Saturday’s stakes-packed card at Aqueduct is the $400,000 Frizette Stakes, an important prep race for the Oct. 31 NetJets Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

On Friday at Aqueduct’s “Belmont at the Big A” race meet, 11 talented 2-year-olds will race 1 1/16 miles on turf in the $200,000, Grade 2 Pilgrim Stakes, a “Win and You’re In” qualifying race for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Oct. 31.

There’s a reason why #3 Tommy Jo (2-5) is an overwhelming favorite to win Friday’s $650,000 Darley Alcibiades Stakes on opening day of the Keeneland fall meet: she’s the fastest filly in the field.
