all in Breeders' Cup

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.”

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.

After a very busy week in horse racing covering racing, conferences, ceremonies, and sales, this week the spotlight focuses on Saratoga Race Course (again) and also Colonial Downs for some important contests including one Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” qualifier.

Arlington International Racecourse may be gone, but memories of the Illinois track will come to the fore on Saturday when the Arlington Million and Beverly D. Stakes are contested at Colonial Downs.

There is an unmistakable Thorpedo Anna-sized storm cloud hovering over the Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff division that will remain as long as the reigning Horse of the Year is in training, but there was a threatening rumble worth tracking that originated in Southern California Aug. 2.
