Flightline is coming off a dominant performance at the Pacific Classic and is the 3-5 favorite in the 2022 Breeders' Cup Classic odds. Bob Baffert's Taiba (8-1) and Steve Asmussen's Epicenter (5-1) have put together impressive three-year-old seasons. Before locking in any 2022 Breeders' Cup Classic picks, you NEED to see what our resident horse racing guru, Jody Demling, has to say.

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling enters the Breeders' Cup Classic 2022 having nailed the winner of the Belmont Stakes four of the last fives years, including an exacta this year with Mo Donegal and Nest!

Demling is at his best in the biggest horse races in the world like the Breeders' Cup 2022. In fact, he has hit 10 of the last 14 Derby-Oaks doubles at Churchill Downs. That means he held a ticket with the winners of both races all but four times in the last 14 years. He's also called nine of the last 18 Preakness winners, keenly understanding when the Kentucky Derby winner was poised for victory or a massive upset, and nailed this year's Preakness trifecta. Anyone who has followed him is up HUGE.

For the 2022 Breeders' Cup Classic, we can tell you Demling says Rich Strike, the 2022 Kentucky Derby winner, finishes dead last! "Not happy putting the Derby winner in the last spot, but someone is going to finish last and I'm just not sold that he will run as well against this caliber of field this time," Demling told SportsLine.

Instead, Demling is high on a SURPRISING longshot who is "always there no matter what track and level of competition!" He's including this horse in his 2022 Breeders' Cup Classic bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own!
