2024 Ogden Phipps Stakes morning-line odds, picks, post time: Saratoga-based racing insider offers betting strategy for Saturday's race

Last year's champion older dirt female, Idiomatic, will attempt to win her seventh straight race when she faces five other rivals in the 2024 Ogden Phipps Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Trained by Brad Cox, Idiomatic has 10 wins, one second and two thirds in 13 career starts. For Saturday she has been installed as the overwhelming 3-5 morning-line favorite in the 2024 Ogden Phipps Stakes odds. The Chad Brown-trained Raging Sea is the 9-2 second choice among the six Ogden Phipps Stakes horses. Post time is 2:36 p.m. ET.

With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir, who makes his home in Saratoga Springs, has to say before making any Ogden Phipps Stakes picks. Join SportsLine here to get his full breakdown.

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 and an $18,000 Pick 5 at Tampa Bay Downs in early April.

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 for SportsLine from 2023.

And five weeks ago, Weir hit the exacta in the Churchill Downs Stakes for $852. Join SportsLine here to see what he's picking for the Ogden Phipps Stakes.

For Saturday, Weir has handicapped the 2024 Ogden Phipps Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir's top pick is not Idiomatic, even though she is the 3-5 favorite. "Her 5-year-old debut at Churchill Downs in the Grade 1 La Troienne was impressive visually but not overly impressive on the clock," Weir told SportsLine. Weir prefers another horse over Idiomatic in his 2024 Ogden Phipps Stakes betting strategy.

Instead, Weir's top pick is a horse who is "worth a long look." Weir is including this horse in his 2024 Ogden Phipps Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any of your own.
