The Bill Mott-trained Casa Creed will try to win for the second year in a row when he leaves the starting gate in the 2023 Fourstardave Handicap on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York. Last year, Casa Creed rallied powerfully down the stretch to pass the favored Regal Glory and win the prestigious race. He is the 7-5 favorite in the 2023 Fourstardave Handicap odds. The Todd Pletcher-trained Annapolis is the 8-5 second choice in the seven-horse 2023 Fourstardave Handicap field. Post time for the one-mile turf race is 5:44 p.m. ET. 

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 Fourstardave Handicap 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 Fourstardave field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir's top pick is not the 7-5 favorite, Casa Creed! "Casa Creed needs a repeat of his Kelso, but considering that everything went right that day, a repeat is not guaranteed," Weir told SportsLine. Weir prefers another horse over Casa Creed.

Instead, Weir's top pick is a horse who is "better when he's in a stalking position." Weir also is high on a longshot whose trainer has had plenty of success in this race! Weir is including these horses in his 2023 Fourstardave bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any of your own.
