2019 Breeders' Cup Turf: Horse racing legend Hank Goldberg reveals picks for Saturday's race
Hank Goldberg has scored big in some of the biggest races this year. He'll try to keep the run going on Saturday with the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita Park.
The Chad Brown-trained Bricks and Mortar can finalize his case to be the 2019 Horse of the Year when he enters the starting gate for the 2019 Breeders' Cup Turf on Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif. The winner of six straight races, Bricks and Mortar is the 9-5 favorite in the field of 12. Post time for the 1 1/2-mile turf race is 7:40 p.m. ET.
Before making any 2019 Breeders' Cup Turf picks, you need to see what Hammerin' Hank Goldberg has to say.
The former horse racing analyst for ESPN and NBC, Goldberg became a legendary handicapper by going straight to the source. In 2004, he had dinner before the Belmont Stakes with trainer Nick Zito at a pizzeria in Queens. The dinner led Goldberg to play Zito's 36-1 monster long shot Birdstone to win and on top of his exacta, trifecta and superfecta bets. If you had laid $300 on Goldberg's Belmont plays, you would have cashed for more than $21,000.
Anyone who has followed Goldberg's lead is WAY up.
Now Goldberg has studied the 2019 Breeders' Cup Turf and has released his picks, predictions and exotic bets only at SportsLine.
We can tell you that Goldberg is fading Arklow, the fifth choice on the morning line at 12-1. Hammer says Arklow doesn't even hit the board. Arklow benefited from a slow pace in his last race, the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, but he's not likely to get that slow pace on Saturday.
Instead, Goldberg is high on an under-the-radar horse to win the Turf. He's including this horse in his exactas, trifectas and superfectas and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see which horse it is before making your picks.
