Saturday is Kentucky Derby Day at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., and Race 7 is the Churchill Distaff Turf Mile. The Chad Brown-trained Chili Flag is the lukewarm 4-1 favorite in the Churchill Distaff Turf Mile odds. Six other horses are 8-1 or shorter in the 12-horse Churchill Distaff Turf Mile field. Post time is set for 1:56 p.m. ET.

With several accomplished horses 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 Churchill Distaff Turf Mile picks. Join SportsLine here to get his full breakdown!

A member of the Beyer Speed Figure-making team since 2017, 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 and an $18,000 Pick 5 at Tampa Bay Downs in early April!

In April of last 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 were just some of his scores for SportsLine from 2023.

For Saturday, Weir has handicapped the 2024 Churchill Distaff Turf Mile field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir is high on Mission of Joy, even though she is a 10-1 longshot! "She is a little underrated and could have more upside with a clean trip," Weir told SportsLine. Weir is using Mission of Joy prominently in his 2024 Churchill Distaff Turf Mile betting strategy.

Moreover, Weir is high on a BIG double-digit longshot who "is eligible for more improvement." Weir is including this longshot in his 2024 Churchill Distaff Turf Mile bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own.
