With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir has to say before making any Diana Stakes picks.
A member of the Beyer Speed Figure-making team, Weir is a two-time qualifier for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas. He 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 red-hot in the Triple Crown prep races, hitting the superfecta in the Blue Grass Stakes for $1,678 and exactas in the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Tampa Bay Derby. He also hit the 19-1 winner of the Man o' War Stakes, the trifecta in the Pegasus World Cup, the superfecta in the Met Mile and multiple Pick 4s.
In April of this year, he hit a Pick 4 at Gulfstream Park for $641, the exacta in the Florida Derby, a Pick 5 at Keeneland and the exacta in the Lexington Stakes. He smashed the trifecta in the Belmont Stakes for $532.96, and later in June he crushed a Pick 4 at Belmont for $555. Those are just some of his scores this year.
Now, Weir has handicapped the 2023 Diana Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.
One surprise: Weir is high on Whitebeam, even though she's a long shot at 5-1. "Whitebeam is the new face this year and has run well in her first two U.S. starts since moving from Europe into Brown's barn," Weir told SportsLine.
Moreover, Weir's top pick is a horse with a strong "tactical speed advantage." Weir is including this horse in his 2023 Diana Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any of your own.
