A home-court advantage isn’t everything in horse racing, but did you known only one of the 13 fillies and mares entered in Saturday’s $2 million Grade 1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff has previously won at the host racetrack Del Mar?
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 Breeders’ Cup World Championships is the ultimate handicapping puzzle for horseplayers, and it’s especially appealing to those who adhere to the maxim of “bet a little to win a lot.”
The 14-race slate of Breeders’ Cup races brings together great horses from all regions in the U.S. as well as from overseas, which means that year after year, top-class runners with full résumés go off at odds far higher than they would in any other setting.
Friday’s $2 million NetJets Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar shapes up to be a wide-open affair, with accomplished fillies entered from California, New York, and Kentucky.
The 2025 Breeders’ Cup is upon us! The eyes of the racing world are on Del Mar for this year’s World Championships, and we’ve got several price plays for Friday and Saturday “where the turf meets the surf.”
With 14 races, full fields, and some of the top horses in training, there are plenty of opportunities to find value. Let’s take a look!
