2024 Churchill Downs Stakes morning-line odds, picks, post time: Racing insider offers betting strategy for Saturday's race

Sharp handicapper and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir has revealed his picks for the 2024 Churchill Downs Stakes on Saturday at Churchill Downs

Saturday is Kentucky Derby Day at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., and Race 10 is the Churchill Downs Stakes. The Brad Cox-trained Zozos is the lukewarm 3-1 favorite in the Churchill Downs Stakes odds, while Hoist the Gold is the 7-2 second choice in the 11-horse Churchill Downs Stakes field. Post time is set for 4:31 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 Downs Stakes 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 Downs Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his bets.

One surprise: Weir is high on Gun Pilot, even though he is a 10-1 longshot! "The move back to seven furlongs fits this runner, and he will have pace to set up his late run," Weir told SportsLine. Weir is using Gun Pilot prominently in his 2024 Churchill Downs Stakes betting strategy.

Moreover, Weir is high on another double-digit longshot who "takes the next logical step." Weir is including this longshot in his 2024 Churchill Downs Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own.
