There are plenty of ways to bet the 2022 Travers Stakes on Saturday. There will be eight horses in the field and seven have stakes wins on their resume while five have crossed the $1 million mark in career earning. Epicenter is the 7-5 favorite off runner-up finishes at the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. Derby winner Rich Strike is listed at 10-1 in the 2022 Travers Stakes odds while Preakness winner Early Voting is at 8-1. Post time is scheduled for 5:44 p.m. ET at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

With an accomplished field set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir has to say before making any Travers Stakes picks.

A Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker, Weir is a two-time qualifier for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas. He has produced multiple five-figure days at the track over the years, including a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar in 2014. Last year, he was on fire. He hit the exacta in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, Tampa Bay Derby and Peter Pan Stakes, the trifecta in the Risen Star Stakes, Blue Grass Stakes and Pennsylvania Derby and the superfecta in the Belmont Stakes.

He also called Essential Quality the "most likely winner" of last year's Travers and featured the colt heavily atop his wagers before the horse won.

This year, he has been red-hot in the Triple Crown prep races, hitting the superfecta in the Blue Grass Stakes, the trifecta in the Louisiana Derby and exactas in the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Tampa Bay Derby. He also has hit the 19-1 winner of the Man o' War Stakes, the trifecta in the Pegasus World Cup, the superfecta in the Met Mile and multiple Pick 4s, including May 14's at Belmont for $1,851. Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP.

While a slew of horses could hit the board in the 2022 Travers Stakes, Weir is highly confident in a small group, isolating them for his exactas, trifectas and superfectas! He also has a SHOCKING opinion on Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your picks.
