    Two spots in the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby will be up for grabs on Saturday when 23 horses compete in two divisions of the 2020 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans. The first division of the Risen Star is led by Enforceable, who has been installed as a lukewarm 7-2 favorite in the 11-horse field. In the second division, Anneau d'Or is the 9-5 favorite. Post time for the two divisions are 6:38 p.m. and 7:12 p.m. ET. Before making any 2020 Risen Star Stakes picks, you NEED to hear how racing insider and accomplished horseplayer Bob Weir has handicapped the race.

    Based in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Weir has been handicapping and following horse racing since reading Andy Beyer's landmark handicapping book "Picking Winners" in the late 1980s. Weir is highly invested in the Beyer Speed Figure, a number assigned to every race run by a horse that measures how fast the horse ran. He uses the figure as the backbone of his handicapping. In fact, thanks to his proficiency with speed figures and top-tier handicapping, he landed one of just eight spots on Beyer's figure-making team in 2017, a position he holds to this day.

    Weir's methodology has produced multiple five-figure days. In 2014 he hit a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar on a $144 ticket. The following year, he nailed a $31,000 Pick 6 at Gulfstream Park on a $36 investment. In 2016 and 2017, Weir qualified for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas. 

    And this year, his first for SportsLine, Weir has been on fire. Last month he crushed the Pegasus World Cup, giving out an $8 exacta, which paid $312.80, and a $1 trifecta, which paid $444.80, for a total of $757.60. In last week's Sam F. Davis Stakes, he gave out the $.50 superfecta, which paid $150.75. So far this year, Weir has turned $262 into $978.85. Anyone who has followed his lead is WAY up!

    Now, Weir has handicapped the 2020 Risen Star Stakes, made his picks and formulated his bets.

    We can tell you that Weir is low on Enforceable, who is the 7-2 favorite in the first division of the Risen Star, and Liam's Lucky Charm, who is the 9-2 second choice in the second division. Instead, Weir is high on two double-digit longshots, both of whom have chances at winning at huge odds. He's including both of these horses in his exactas and trifectas, and so should you! Anyone who backs these horses could hit it BIG!

    So who are Weir's picks to win the two divisions of the Risen Star Stakes? And which longshots do you need to include in your exactas and trifectas? ...
