    Two of the top contenders for the Kentucky Derby collide on Saturday when a field of 12 horses enters the starting gate for the 2020 Tampa Bay Derby. Sole Volante is the 2-1 favorite, while Chance It is at 5-2. Post time is 5:32 p.m. ET. Before you make any 2020 Tampa Bay Derby picks, you NEED to know 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. The following year, he nailed a $31,000 Pick 6 at Gulfstream Park. 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. In January, he crushed the Pegasus World Cup, giving out an $8 exacta, which paid $312.80, and a $1 trifecta, which paid $444.80. In last month's Sam F. Davis Stakes, he nailed a $0.50 superfecta, which paid $150.75. Anyone who has followed his lead is WAY up!

    Now, Weir has handicapped the 2020 Tampa Bay Derby field, made his picks and formulated his bets.

    We can tell you that Weir is completely fading Sole Volante, the overall race favorite! Instead, Weir is high on a double-digit longshot who's one of the most dangerous horses in the entire field. Weir is including him in his exactas, trifectas and superfectas, and so should you! Anyone who backs this horse could hit it BIG!

    So who is Weir's pick to win the Tampa Bay Derby? And which dangerous longshot do you need to include in your exactas, trifectas and superfectas? ... Join SportsLine now to get the 2020 Tampa Bay Derby picks and exotics, all from the racing insider who nailed the Pegasus World Cup!
