Even though the coronavirus pandemic has paralyzed many sports, horse racing still runs every day. Thursday's late Pick 4 at Churchill Downs begins with Race 6 at 3:42 p.m. ET and ends with Race 9. Hitting the Pick 4 requires a bettor to pick the winner of four consecutive races. National handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen just handicapped each race so you can make the best picks possible.

With the sequence featuring competitive fields, you NEED to see what he has to say before making any late Pick 4 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 Fountain of Youth Stakes in February, Kinchen nailed an $80 win bet on Ete Indien that paid a healthy $344. 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. Anyone who has followed him is up big.

Now, Kinchen has handicapped the late Pick 4 at Churchill Downs for Thursday, made his picks and constructed his tickets.

We can tell you that Kinchen is high on Guarana, the 3-5 favorite in Race 8, the third leg of the Pick 4. "Guarana is a freak," Kinchen tells SportsLine. Guarana is Kinchen's top pick in Race 8 and the only horse from the race on his Pick 4 tickets.

In addition, Kinchen is high on a longshot on Thursday. This horse is coming off a "breakthrough" race and could spice up the Pick 4. Kinchen is using this horse on his tickets, and so should you! You ABSOLUTELY need to see Kinchen's analysis before making any picks of your own.
