2021 Vosburgh Stakes morning-line odds, picks: National handicapping champion offers picks for Saturday's race

Jonathon Kinchen, who won $366,000 at last year's Breeders' Cup and $150,000 on Kentucky Derby Day in 2015, offers his handicapping analysis and picks for the Vosburgh Stakes on Saturday at Belmont Park

Five of the East Coast's top sprinters square off on Saturday when the starting gate opens in the 2021 Vosburgh Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. The $250,000 race covers a distance of six furlongs. The Bill Mott-trained Baby Yoda is the 7-5 morning-line favorite in the Vosburgh Stakes odds. Meanwhile the well traveled Firenze Fire is the 8-5 second choice in the five-horse Vosburgh Stakes field. Post time is 2:45 p.m. ET. (Check out SportsLine's extensive horse racing coverage.)

Handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen has studied the race and constructed his wagers in his analysis below. An analyst for Fox Sports' America's Day at the Races and co-host of the In the Money Players' Podcast, Kinchen won the National Horseplayers Championship Tour in 2015, a demanding, yearlong series of handicapping events across the country. In November of last year, he finished second out of 418 contestants in the prestigious Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge, which earned him $215,000 in prize money. After factoring in his profit during the 14 Breeders' Cup races, he took home more than $366,000 on the day.

And just one week ago Kinchen's SportsLine picks hit the exacta in the Champagne Stakes for $1,362.

Kinchen has handicapped the 2021 Vosburgh Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets. 

One surprise: Kinchen is completely tossing Firenze Fire, who is the second choice on the morning line, at 8-5. "He may run well on Saturday, but he doesn't provide any value," Kinchen tells SportsLine. Kinchen will not use Firenze Fire on his tickets.

Kinchen's top pick is a horse who "could be special." He is using this horse in his wagers, and so should you. You NEED to see Kinchen's analysis before making any Vosburgh Stakes picks of your own.

Kinchen is one of the nation's most successful and recognizable horseplayers. An analyst for Fox Sports' America's Day at the Races and co-host of the In the Money Players' Podcast, Kinchen won the National Horseplayers Championship Tour in 2015, a demanding, yearlong series of handicapping events across the country. That same year, he became the only player in history to have both of his entries qualify for the final table of the National Horseplayers Championship.

In addition, Kinchen has scored huge on some of racing's biggest days. In November, he finished second out of 418 contestants in the prestigious Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge, which earned him $215,000 in prize money. After factoring in his profit during the 14 Breeders' Cup races, he took home more than $366,000 on the day.

It's no fluke, either. At the 2015 Kentucky Derby, he cashed for $150,000 after nailing the Pick 6 and a Pick 3 that paid $50,000.
