2021 Triple Bend Stakes morning-line odds, picks: National handicapping champion offers picks for Saturday's race

Grade 1 winner Eight Rings will try to win for the third time in his career when he leaves the starting gate in the Triple Bend Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif. The Bob Baffert trainee is the 9-5 morning-line favorite in the Triple Bend odds. Post time is 7:52 p.m. ET. 

Before making any 2021 Triple Bend Stakes picks, you NEED to see how handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen has broken down the race.

Kinchen is one of the nation's most successful and recognizable horseplayers. An analyst for Fox Sports' America's Day at the Races and co-host of the In the Money Players' Podcast, Kinchen won the National Horseplayers Championship Tour in 2015, a demanding, yearlong series of handicapping events across the country. That same year, he became the only player in history to have both of his entries qualify for the final table of the National Horseplayers Championship.

In addition, Kinchen has scored huge on some of racing's biggest days. In November, he finished second out of 418 contestants in the prestigious Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge, which earned him $215,000 in prize money. After factoring in his profit during the 14 Breeders' Cup races, he took home more than $366,000 on the day!

It's no fluke, either. At the 2015 Kentucky Derby, he cashed for $150,000 after nailing the Pick 6 and a Pick 3 that paid $50,000. Anyone who has followed him is up BIG.

Now, Kinchen has handicapped the 2021 Triple Bend Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

We can tell you Kinchen is completely fading Eight Rings, even though he is the 9-5 morning-line favorite in the 2021 Triple Bend Stakes odds. "My opinion in this race is that the favorite, Eight Rings, is vulnerable," Kinchen tells SportsLine. Kinchen will not use Eight Rings in any of his wagers.

However Kinchen's top pick is a horse whose speed figure "was a little bit on the slow side last time." You NEED to see Kinchen's analysis before making any Triple Bend Stakes picks of your own.
