all in Breeders' Cup

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.

For the sixth 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 2022 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”

Few races on the calendar have had as strong of an impact on a single Breeders’ Cup World Championships race as the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes at Keeneland has had on the Longines Distaff.

Saturday’s $300,000, Grade 1 American Pharoah Stakes at Santa Anita Park is the premier West Coast prep for the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, which will be held this year on Nov. 4 at Keeneland.

The 2022 edition of the $1 million, Grade 1 Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes, an opening weekend staple at Keeneland and run since 1986, drew a full field of 12 plus four also-eligibles.
