2024 Tampa Bay Downs morning line odds: Racing insider gives picks for the late Pick 4 for Saturday, March 9

Saturday is Tampa Bay Derby day at Tampa Bay Downs, and the late Pick 4 begins with the Hillsborough Stakes at 4:12 p.m. ET and ends with Race 12. Before you make any picks, you need to know how Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir has handicapped the sequence.

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.

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 the Pick 4 at Belmont for $555. Those were just some of his scores from 2023.

For Saturday, Weir has handicapped the late Pick 4 at Tampa Bay Downs, made his picks and constructed his tickets.

We can tell you that Weir is high on Startup Mentality, the 7-5 favorite in Race 12, the final leg of the Pick 4. "She was beaten two lengths in the Tropical Park Oaks at Gulfstream Park in December after which five of the seven runners have returned to improve their Beyers out of that race," Weir told SportsLine. Startup Mentality is Weir's top pick in Race 12 and the only A horse from the race on his Pick 4 tickets.

In addition, Weir's top pick in one of the races is a double-digit longshot. Weir says this longshot "will need to be sent early" and could spice up the Pick 4. Weir is including this longshot on his tickets, and so should you. You need to see Weir's analysis before making any Pick 4 selections.
