Allen Paulson, one of the most prominent owners and breeders in Thoroughbred racing history before his death on July 19, 2000, at age 78, embodied the American dream.
Each week a panel of media members, horseplayers, and Breeders’ Cup World Championships officials release a poll tabulating their votes on the nation's top contenders for the 2025 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic. The rankings are a weekly rating of the top 10 horses in contention and are determined by each voter ranking their top 10 horses with points assigned on a descending 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
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 upcoming weekend in North American horse racing is highlighted by the final marquee dirt route races restricted to 3-year-olds, both held at Parx Racing on Saturday, Sept. 20.
