Belmont Stakes winner and Kentucky Derby favorite Tiz the Law will compete on Saturday in the 2020 Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. The New York-bred son of Constitution is the 1-1 morning-line favorite in the eight-horse field. Post time is 6:15 p.m. ET. 

Before making any 2020 Travers Stakes picks, you NEED to see what legendary handicapper 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 longshot Birdstone to win and on top of his exacta, trifecta and superfecta bets. When Birdstone shocked the world, Goldberg won $24,000.

In the San Felipe Stakes in March, Hammer gave out a $20 exacta that paid $180. Last month in the Belmont Stakes, Goldberg was all over Tiz the Law, who scored a convincing victory in the year's first Triple Crown race. In the Blue Grass Stakes, Hammer nailed the Art Collector-Swiss Skydiver exacta for $169.40. Last month he hit the Authentic-Ny Traffic exacta in the Haskell for $158. And two weeks ago in the San Diego Handicap he gave out the Maximum Security-Midcourt exacta for $105.

Anyone who has followed Goldberg's lead is WAY up! Now, he's turned his attention to the 2020 Travers Stakes.

For Saturday's Travers, Goldberg is completely fading South Bend, even though he is coming off a career-best effort. Instead, Goldberg is high on a double-digit long shot who "will only be improved coming off his last race!" You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any picks of your own!
