National handicapping champion offers picks for 2020 Louisiana Derby

One of the nation's most successful horseplayers who once cashed for $150,000 on Kentucky Derby day, Jonathon Kinchen offers his picks for Saturday's Louisiana Derby.

A full field of 14 horses is set to enter the starting gate on Saturday for the 2020 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans. The late-running Enforceable is the 7-2 morning-line favorite. Post time for the 1 3/16-mile race is 5:49 p.m. ET.

Before making any 2020 Louisiana Derby picks, you NEED to see how handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen has broken down the race.

Kinchen is one of the most successful and recognizable horseplayers in the country today. An analyst for Fox Sports' "Saturday at the Races," 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 of the National Horseplayers Championship, considered one of the most prestigious handicapping events in the world.

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 for SportsLine. In the Fountain of Youth Stakes last month, Kinchen nailed an $80 win bet on Ete Indien, the third choice in the final odds, which paid a healthy $344. And in last week's Beholder Mile, he gave out a $50 exacta that paid $550. Over the last three weekends, Kinchen has an incredible ROI of 90.80 percent!

Now, Kinchen has handicapped the 2020 Louisiana Derby field, made his picks and formulated his bets.

We can tell you that Kinchen is completely fading Major Fed, even though he's coming off a career-best Beyer Speed Figure of 82. In fact, Kinchen says Major Fed doesn't even hit the board!

Instead, Kinchen is high on a double-digit longshot who is training well and set to run well on Saturday. He's including this horses in his daily doubles, exactas and trifectas, and so should you! You NEED to see Kinchen's analysis before making any picks of your own.
