    2021 Arkansas Derby morning-line odds, picks: Racing insider offers bet strategy for Saturday's race

    The Bob Baffert-trained Concert Tour can establish himself as one of the leading Kentucky Derby contenders when he leaves the starting gate on Saturday in the 2021 Arkansas Derby. This son of Street Sense is the even-money favorite in the latest 2021 Arkansas Derby odds. Post time is 7:41 p.m. ET. 

    Before you make any Arkansas Derby picks, you NEED to see what racing insider Bob Weir has to say.

    Based in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Weir has been handicapping and following horse racing since reading Andy Beyer's landmark handicapping book "Picking Winners" in the late 1980s. Weir is highly invested in the Beyer Speed Figure, a number assigned to every race run by a horse that measures how fast the horse ran. He uses the figure as the backbone of his handicapping. In fact, thanks to his proficiency with speed figures and top-tier handicapping, he landed one of just eight spots on Beyer's figure-making team in 2017, a position he holds to this day.

    Weir's methodology has produced multiple five-figure days. In 2014, he hit a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar. The following year, he nailed a $31,000 Pick 6 at Gulfstream Park. In 2016 and 2017, Weir qualified for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas!

    Last year, his first for SportsLine, Weir was on fire. In June, Weir hit a $2 superfecta in the Ogden Phipps Stakes that paid a whopping $1,039. He crushed the exacta and trifecta in the Forego Stakes in August for $1,134.50. He hit the late Pick 4 at Belmont Park on June 18, June 19, June 25, July 2 and July 5, with the June 25 score returning a whopping $2,159.50.

    Last month, he crushed the exacta in the Tampa Bay Derby for $1,414! And last week he hit the trifecta in the Blue Grass Stakes for $115. Anyone who has followed Weir is way up.

    Now, he has handicapped the 2021 Arkansas Derby field, made his picks and constructed his bets. 

    One shocker: Weir is almost completely fading Caddo River, even though he is one of the top favorites at 7-2. "His big win in the Smarty Jones is beginning to look like he may have just found the right field for his early tactics, and I have my doubts in this field," Weir told SportsLine. "I will mostly play against."

    Instead, Weir is high on an underrated horse with plenty of room for growth! Weir is including this horse in his 2021 Arkansas Derby bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own!
