For Saturday, Weir has handicapped the Pick 4 at Churchill Downs, made his picks and constructed his tickets.
We can tell you that Weir is high on Peak Popularity, the 8-5 favorite in Race 7, the opening leg of the Pick 4.

Peak Popularity is Weir's top pick in Race 7 and a lone A horse on his Pick 4 tickets.
In addition, Weir is high on a double-digit longshot on Saturday. Weir says this horse "has never been better" 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.
