One surprise: Weir is down on the chances of Napoleonic War, even though he is one of the major contenders. "Napoleonic War has improved with each race but still seems a cut below," Weir tells SportsLine. He prefers three horses over Napoleonic War.
Weir's top pick is a horse who "gives every impression that he will continue to improve with more distance." Weir also is high on a long shot who is the "wild card in this field." Weir is including these horses in his 2022 Pennine Ridge Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own!
