2021 San Felipe Stakes morning line odds: Handicapping legend Hank Goldberg offers picks for Saturday's race

Hank Goldberg hit the $180 exacta in last year's San Felipe Stakes, and he'll try to hit big again on Saturday in this year's San Felipe at Santa Anita Park

Before making any 2021 San Felipe 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 of last year, Hammer gave out a $20 exacta that paid $180. In the Belmont Stakes in June, 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. In July, he hit the Authentic-Ny Traffic exacta in the Haskell for $158. And in August in the Pacific Classic, he gave out the Maximum Security-Sharp Samurai exacta for $177.50. Anyone who has followed Goldberg's lead is WAY UP!

Now, he's turned his attention to the 2021 San Felipe Stakes.

For Saturday's race, we can tell you that Goldberg's top pick is not Life Is Good, even though he's the formidable 4-5 favorite on Saturday and one of the early favorites for the Kentucky Derby. "I didn't like how he was backing up at the finish of the Sham Stakes," Hammer says. Goldberg doesn't have Life Is Good among his top two choices.

Goldberg's top pick is a horse who is "rapidly improving." You ABSOLUTELY need to see whom Hammer is talking about before locking in any picks of your own!
