Horse racing expert reveals 2019 Breeders' Cup Classic picks

Horse racing insider Richard Eng, famous for getting Justify at 100-1 odds months before last year's Kentucky Derby, just revealed his Breeders' Cup Classic picks.

One of the most prestigious horse races in the world, the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic, takes place on Saturday at Santa Anita Park. Post time is 8:44 p.m. ET.

Before you bet such a high-profile race, you NEED to hear what legendary horse racing handicapper Richard Eng has to say.

Eng was the turf editor and handicapper for the Las Vegas Review-Journal for 20 years and literally wrote the book on wagering on the sport. He was the author of Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies, the preeminent book for newcomers. Prior to his work for the Review-Journal, Eng worked as a publicist for the New York Racing Association, Garden State Park, Monmouth Park, Santa Anita Park and Turfway Park.

To say that Eng was all-in on Justify early last year would be a massive understatement. He picked Justify when that horse was a HUGE 100-1 longshot in the Kentucky Derby Futures Book in January, before the horse made his racing debut. He picked Justify to win all three Triple Crown races, cashing big each time.

At this year's Belmont Stakes, Eng nailed the top-two horses, as Sir Winston surprised the field at 10-1 odds, with favorite Tacitus taking second. He also nailed Seeking the Soul winning June's Stephen Foster, at 9-2 odds. Anyone who has followed Eng's lead is WAY up.

Now, Eng has released his 2019 Breeders' Cup Classic picks and predicted order of finish.

We can tell you Eng is high on Elate, an underdog at 6-1. He knows Elate should relish the 1 1/4-mile distance of the Breeders' Cup Classic. She is a perfect 3-for-3 at the distance, including a 4.5-length romp in the Delaware Handicap in July.

In addition, Eng is all over an under-the-radar longshot to hit the board HARD! If the horse hits as Eng expects, you could be looking at a MASSIVE payout.
