A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling enters the 2024 Kentucky Oaks having nailed the winner of the Belmont Stakes four of the last six years, including an exacta in 2022 with Mo Donegal and Nest! He also nailed Flightline's win at the Breeders' Cup Classic in November of that year. Join here for full horse-by-horse analysis and Kentucky Oaks bets!

Demling is at his best in the biggest horse races in the world like the Kentucky Oaks 2024. In fact, he has hit 10 of the last 15 Derby-Oaks doubles at Churchill Downs! That means he held a ticket with the winners of both races all but five times in the last 15 years. He's also called 10 of the last 19 Preakness winners, including nailing his Preakness winner, exacta and superfecta picks in 2023, keenly understanding when the Kentucky Derby winner was poised for victory or a massive upset.

Two years ago, he nailed the Kentucky Oaks exacta with Secret Oath and Nest. Anyone who has followed him is up HUGE. Join now to see which epic longshot to back this year!

For the 2024 Kentucky Oaks, we can tell you Demling is fading Tarifa, even though she is the 7-2 favorite and daughter of 2006 Preakness winner Bernardini. Another stunner: Demling is high on Where's My Ring, even though she's a 15-1 longshot. She's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday! "It would not totally shock me if she jumped up and won," Demling told SportsLine. "The Twirling Candy daughter has shown a ton of improvement since adding blinkers."

Demling is especially high on a filly long shot who is "going to run big"! If you include her in your exotics, you could be looking at a colossal payday. You NEED to see who it is before locking in any Kentucky Oaks picks.
