World class racing takes place at Del Mar in Del Mar, Calif., and on Saturday the Rainbow Pick 6 is a mandatory payout and begins with Race 6 (the Torrey Pines Stakes) at 7:34 p.m. ET and ends with Race 11 (the Del Mar Handicap). Before you make any picks, you NEED to know how racing insider and accomplished horseplayer Bob Weir has handicapped the six-race sequence.

A Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker, Weir has studied the sequence and constructed Pick 4 tickets 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. In addition, earlier this year he hit the exacta in the Tampa Bay Derby for $1,414, and on July 18 he hit the late Pick 4 at Del Mar for $594.60. Those are just some of his scores in 2021.

Saturday is the signature day on the racing calendar at Del Mar, Pacific Classic day. The card features five stakes races, including two Grade 1s and two Grade 2s. All five races are included in the Pick 6 sequence.

Saturday's races take on additional importance because this year's Breeders' Cup will be held at Del Mar in November. Winning on Saturday -- or even running well -- suggest performing well on horse racing's biggest stage in the fall.

 Weir has handicapped the Pick 6 at Del Mar for Saturday, made his picks and constructed his tickets.

We can tell you that Weir is high on Smooth Like Strait, the 9-5 second choice in the Del Mar Mile, the second leg of the Pick 6. "He likes the track; this is probably his best distance; and he can win on the lead or stalking the pace," Weir tells SportsLine. "It's hard to find a reason to knock his chances." Smooth Like Strait is Weir's top pick in the Del Mar Mile and a single A horse on his Pick 6 tickets.

In addition, Weir is high on a double-digit long shot on Saturday. Weir says this horse "could be the right one" and could spice up the Rainbow Pick 6. You NEED to see Weir's analysis and ticket construction before making any Pick 6 picks!

Based in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Weir has been handicapping and following horse racing since reading Andy Beyer's landmark handicapping book "Picking Winners" in the late 1980s. Weir is highly invested in the Beyer Speed Figure, a number assigned to every race run by a horse that measures how fast the horse ran. He uses the figure as the backbone of his handicapping. In fact, thanks to his proficiency with speed figures and top-tier handicapping, he landed one of just eight spots on Beyer's figure-making team in 2017, a position he holds to this day.

Weir's methodology has produced multiple five-figure days. In 2014, he hit a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar. The following year, he nailed a $31,000 Pick 6 at Gulfstream Park. In 2016 and 2017, Weir qualified for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas!

Last year, his first for SportsLine, Weir was on fire. In June, Weir hit a $2 superfecta in the Ogden Phipps Stakes that paid a whopping $1,039. He crushed the exacta and trifecta in the Forego Stakes in August for $1,134.50. He hit the late Pick 4 at Belmont Park on June 18, June 19, June 25, July 2 and July 5, with the June 25 score returning a whopping $2,159.50.

This year, he has hit the exacta in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, Tampa Bay Derby and Peter Pan Stakes, the trifecta in the Risen Star Stakes and Blue Grass Stakes and the superfecta in the Belmont Stakes, with the Tampa Bay Derby score returning $1,414! Those are just some of his scores in 2021.
