Sports Illustrated's former college football editor, Gene Menez specializes in college sports and horse racing. During his 14-year tenure at the magazine, he served as a reporter and editor, covering an array of sports and providing handicapping analysis of horse racing's Triple Crown. In the 2015 Kentucky Derby, Menez accurately gave out the superfecta (American Pharoah, Firing Line, Dortmund and Frosted), which paid $1,268.20 for a $2 bet. In the '17 Derby, he nailed the winner (Always Dreaming) and hit the Pick 4, which paid almost $6,900 on a $1 bet. Menez has continued to supply winning horse picks since joining SportsLine in 2019.
