Arguably the most popular racehorse in training will return to the track on Saturday when Cody's Wish faces five other horses in the 2023 Whitney Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. Named after Cody Dorman, a teenager who was born with the rare genetic disorder Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, Cody's Wish has nine wins in 13 career starts. He is the 1-2 favorite in the 2023 Whitney Stakes odds. Grade 1 winner Zandon is the 9-2 second choice in the six-horse 2023 Whitney Stakes field, while the Todd Pletcher-trained Charge It is 5-1. Post time for the $1 million race is 5:42 p.m. ET. 

With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir has to say before making any Whitney Stakes picks.

A member of the Beyer Speed Figure-making team, 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 red-hot in the Triple Crown prep races, hitting the superfecta in the Blue Grass Stakes for $1,678 and exactas in the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Tampa Bay Derby. He also 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.

In April of this year, he hit a Pick 4 at Gulfstream Park for $641, the exacta in the Florida Derby, a Pick 5 at Keeneland and the exacta in the Lexington Stakes. He smashed the trifecta in the Belmont Stakes for $532.96, and later in June he crushed a Pick 4 at Belmont for $555. Those are just some of his scores this year.

Now, Weir has handicapped the 2023 Whitney Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir is completely fading Charge It, even though he's one of the favorites at 5-1. "I was a fan, but I need to see him prove that he actually fits with better horses," Weir told SportsLine. Weir is not using Charge It in any of his wagers.

Instead, Weir's top pick is a horse who should be primed for this race. Weir also is high on a longshot who "could be dangerous." Weir is including these horses in his 2023 Whitney Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any of your own.

Who will win the Whitney Stakes 2023? What dangerous longshot is a must-back? And how has Weir constructed his wagers? ... Join SportsLine right now to get the top 2023 Whitney Stakes picks, all from a top racing insider and member of the Beyer figure-making team who smashed the Belmont trifecta!
