Horse racing guru reveals 2020 Louisiana Derby picks, predictions

The road to the Kentucky Derby ramps up significantly on Saturday with the 2020 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans. The Mark Casse-trained Enforceable is the 7-2 morning-line favorite. Post time is 5:49 p.m. ET. Before you make any Louisiana Derby picks, you NEED to see what Jody Demling has to say.

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling crushed the Kentucky Derby prep races last year. Last April, he scored the exacta and trifecta in the Santa Anita Derby, Blue Grass Stakes and Wood Memorial on the same day. One week later, he hit the same bets in the Arkansas Derby. 

Demling has had plenty of success so far in 2020. Last month he had the exacta, trifecta and superfecta in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes. One week later in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, he gave out a $5 exacta that paid out $71. And in last week's Rebel Stakes he nailed a $2 exacta that paid a whopping $156.40.

He's also hit nine of the last 11 Oaks-Derby doubles at Churchill Downs, meaning he's held a ticket with the winners of both the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby all but twice in the last 11 years! Anyone who has followed him is way up.

Now, Demling has analyzed the 2020 Louisiana Derby field and revealed where every horse will finish.

We can tell you Demling is low on Silver State, even though he's one of the favorites at 6-1. In fact, Demling says Silver State doesn't even hit the board! He is likely to lose ground from his No. 13 post position, which means he'll have to run much better than his rivals if he wants to end up in the winner's circle.

Instead, Demling's top pick is a horse who is getting hot at the right time! He's including this horse in his exactas, trifectas and superfectas, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see which horse it is before locking in any picks.
