Tap to Open scored a 3 1/4-length triumph in the $300,000 Grade 2 Mother Goose Stakes for 3-year-old fillies Nov. 7 at Belmont Park. It was a nifty way to gain graded stakes laurels and build some optimism for what the connections hope will be a productive 4-year-old campaign in 2027.

Every Sunday Noel Michaels will provide free full-card picks for a one racecard in North America. A veteran handicapper and tournament-play pioneer, Michaels also writes a weekly “Weekend Winners” blog for America’s Best Racing with a focus on key stakes races at marquee tracks. This feature will be straight-forward: full-card picks for one Sunday slate of races of his choosing.

The dust has settled on the 43rd Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland Race Course, and results from the event have drastically changed the Equibase leaderboard tabulating 2026 North American earnings for horses, jockeys, and trainers.

There were some great performances from 3-year-olds over Breeders’ Cup weekend Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland.

Won by some of the sport’s greatest 3-year-old fillies, Saturday’s Mother Goose Stakes has a long and storied history. The former Grade 1 race will now return to the new Belmont Park after being hosted by Aqueduct the past three seasons.
