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.”

The Grade 1, $1 million Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar drew a field of eight on Saturday, with three heavy hitters entered to compete for an automated berth to the Nov. 1 Classic, also at Del Mar.

The road to the 2025 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic makes an important stop at Saratoga Race Course Labor Day weekend on Sunday, Aug. 31, as older male dirt horses go 1 ¼ miles in the $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes.

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.

Saturday’s card at Saratoga Race Course was one to remember, featuring a memorable five consecutive Grade 1 races, including the $1.25 million DraftKings Travers Stakes.
