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 Fountain of Youth Stakes picks.

A member of the Beyer Speed Figure-making team since 2017, 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.

In April of last 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 were just some of his scores from 2023.

Now, Weir has handicapped the 2024 Fountain of Youth Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir's top pick is not Dornoch, even though he is the 2-1 favorite. "On Saturday, he will most likely have to battle speed horses to his inside, which could compromise his chances," Weir told SportsLine.

Moreover, Weir is high on a big double-digit longshot who "should get a real pace" on Saturday! Also, Weir's top pick is a horse who will come with a "late run." Weir is including these horses in his 2024 Fountain of Youth Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own.
