2022 Pegasus World Cup Turf morning-line odds, picks: Racing insider offers bet strategy for Saturday's race

Colonel Liam will try to defend his title in the Pegasus World Cup Turf when he leaves the starting gate in the 2022 Pegasus World Cup Turf on Saturday at the Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla. He is the 3-1 morning-line favorite in the Pegasus World Cup Turf odds. Never Surprised, who like Colonel Liam is trained by Todd Pletcher, is the 7-2 second choice in the 12-horse Pegasus World Cup Turf field. Post time is 4:49 p.m. ET. 

Before you make any Pegasus World Cup Turf 2022 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 sequence 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. Last year he was 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 were just some of his scores in 2021.

Now, Weir has handicapped the Pegasus World Cup Turf 2022 field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir's top pick is not Colonel Liam even though he is the defending champion and the 3-1 morning-line favorite. "If he returns to the form where he was last spring he will be tough, but that's a lot to ask and the price will not be inviting considering the layoff," Weir told SportsLine.

Weir's top choice is a horse who "could be overlooked slightly." Weir also is high on a double-digit long shot who "can surprise." Weir is including these horses in his 2022 Pegasus World Cup Turf bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own!
