2021 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile morning-line odds, picks: Racing insider offers bet strategy for Saturday's race

The Todd Pletcher-trained Life Is Good can win the biggest race of his career when the starting gate opens in the 2021 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile on Saturday at Del Mar in Del Mar, Calif. Once the early 2021 Kentucky Derby favorite before an injury took him off the Triple Crown trail, Life Is Good has been installed as the 4-5 morning-line favorite in the 2021 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile odds. The Steve Asmussen-trained Silver State is the second choice, at 5-2, in the eight-horse Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile field. Post time is 4:19 p.m. ET.

Before you make any Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile picks or bets, you NEED to see the latest picks from racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir. 

A Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker, Weir has studied the race and constructed his wagers in his analysis below. A two-time qualifier for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas, Weir has produced multiple five-figure days at the track over the years, including a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar in 2014. This year, he has been on fire. He hit the exacta in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, Tampa Bay Derby and Peter Pan Stakes, the trifecta in the Risen Star Stakes, Blue Grass Stakes and Pennsylvania Derby and the superfecta in the Belmont Stakes, with the Tampa Bay score returning $1,414. Those are just some of his scores in 2021.

Now, Weir has handicapped the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile 2021 field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir is high on Ginobili, who is the third choice on the morning line, at 4-1. "All three of his wins have come at Del Mar," he says. "He could prove to be the ultimate horse-for-course if he wins this race." Weir is using Ginobili in his wagering.

Weir's top pick is a horse who is "poised for a breakout performance." Weir is including this horse in his 2021 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own!
