2021 Jockey Club Gold Cup morning-line odds, picks: Racing insider offers bet strategy for Saturday's race

One of the country's most prestigious and historic races for older horses takes place on Saturday when the starting gate opens in the 2021 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The Bill Mott-trained Forza Di Oro is the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the 2021 Jockey Club Gold Cup odds. 

Before you make any bets, you NEED to see the latest picks from Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir. 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 crushed the 3-year-old races. He hit the exacta in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, Tampa Bay Derby and Peter Pan Stakes, the trifecta in the Risen Star Stakes and Blue Grass Stakes and the superfecta in the Belmont Stakes. Those are just some of his scores in 2021.  

Now, Weir has handicapped the Jockey Club Gold Cup 2021 field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir does not have Forza Di Oro, as one of his top two picks even though the horse is the 8-5 favorite. "I'm not trusting him as the favorite," Weir told SportsLine.

Instead, Weir's top pick is a horse who is in "career-best form!" Weir is including this horse in his 2021 Jockey Club Gold Cup bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own!
