Churchill Downs morning line odds: Racing insider gives picks for the late Pick 4 for Saturday, April 29

Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir, who has had multiple five-figure days at the track, attacks Saturday's late Pick 4 on Opening Day at Churchill Downs

Saturday is Opening Day at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., and the late Pick 4 begins with Race 7 at 9:05 p.m. ET and ends with Race 10. Before you make any picks, you NEED to know how racing insider and accomplished horseplayer Bob Weir has handicapped the sequence.

A member of the Beyer Speed Figure-making team who is based in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., 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, including May 14's at Belmont for $1,851.

Last month he hit the late Pick 4 at Gulfstream Park for $641 and the exacta in the Florida Derby. And two weeks ago he nailed the Pick 5 at Keeneland and the exacta in the Lexington Stakes.

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. "The lack of pace in this race and the addition of blinkers could lead jockey Florent Geroux to get her involved early," Weir tells SportsLine. 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.
