Even though the coronavirus pandemic has paralyzed sports, horse racing still runs every day. Thursday's early Pick 5 at Belmont Park begins with Race 1 at 1:15 p.m. ET and ends with Race 5. Hitting the Pick 5 requires a bettor to pick the winner of five consecutive races, and national handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen just handicapped each of the races in the five-race sequence!

With the sequence featuring competitive fields, you NEED to see what he has to say before making any early Pick 5 picks of your own.

Kinchen is one of the nation's most successful and recognizable horseplayers. An analyst for Fox Sports' America's Day at the Races and co-host of the In the Money Players' Podcast, Kinchen won the National Horseplayers Championship Tour in 2015, a demanding, yearlong series of handicapping events across the country. That same year, he became the only player in history to have both of his entries qualify for the final table of the National Horseplayers Championship.

In addition, Kinchen has scored huge on some of racing's biggest days. At the 2015 Kentucky Derby, he cashed for $150,000 after nailing a Pick 6 and a cold Pick 3 that paid $50,000.

He's currently riding a hot streak on his horse racing picks for SportsLine. In the Beholder Mile in March, he gave out a $50 exacta that paid $550. On April 11, he crushed the Oaklawn Stakes, giving out a $5 exacta that paid a whopping $1,338. On May 27 he hit a $1.50 Pick 4 at Tampa Bay Downs that paid $1,227. He also hit the Pick 4 at tracks around the country a whopping five times in April. Those are just some of his biggest hits this year.

Anyone who has followed him is up big.

Now, Kinchen has handicapped the early Pick 5 at Belmont Park for Thursday, made his picks and constructed his tickets.

We can tell you that Kinchen is high on Jade's Dream, a 7-2 shot in Race 3, the third leg of the Pick 5. Jade's Dream "should appreciate the extra half furlong of Thursday's distance," Kinchen tells SportsLine. Jade's Dream is Kinchen's top pick in Race 3 and a single A horse on his Pick 5 tickets.

In addition, Kinchen is high on a double-digit longshot on Thursday! Kinchen tells SportsLine this horse "has some speed to get position" and could light up the toteboard and spice up the Pick 5. Kinchen has made this longshot his top pick in one of the races, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see Kinchen's analysis before making any picks of your own.
