A Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker, Weir has studied the races and formulated a Pick 4 ticket in his analysis below. A two-time qualifier for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas, Weir has produced multiple five-figure days at the track over the years, including a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar in 2014. This year, he has been on fire. He hit the exacta in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, Tampa Bay Derby and Peter Pan Stakes, the trifecta in the Risen Star Stakes, Blue Grass Stakes and Pennsylvania Derby and the superfecta in the Belmont Stakes, with the Tampa Bay score returning $1,414. Those are just some of his scores in 2021.

Weir has handicapped the late Pick 4 at Churchill for Saturday, made his picks and constructed his tickets.

We can tell you that Weir is high on Matareya, a 7-2 shot in Race 12, the final leg of the Pick 4. "She turns back to a 6½-furlong sprint, and this one should be primed for this race," Weir tells SportsLine. Matareya is Weir's top pick in Race 12 and a single A horse on his Pick 4 tickets.
