2024 Gulfstream Park morning line odds: Racing writer gives picks for the late Pick 4 for Saturday, Jan. 4
World class horse racing takes place at Gulfstream Park outside Miami, and on Saturday the late Pick 4 begins with Race 8 at 3:47 p.m. ET and ends with the Ginger Brew Stakes. Before you make any picks, you NEED to know how SportsLine writer Gene Menez, who crushed the late Pick 4 on Breeders' Cup Saturday, has handicapped the sequence.
A former reporter and editor at Sports Illustrated, Menez covered an array of sports, including horse racing, for the magazine and its website for almost 14 years. Between 2010 and 2012, he served as SI's handicapper for the Triple Crown races and correctly predicted Super Saver to win the Kentucky Derby in 2010.
In 2015, while writing for Sports on Earth, Menez accurately gave out the Kentucky Derby superfecta (American Pharoah, Firing Line, Dortmund and Frosted), which paid $1,268.20 for $2. Then in 2017, he tweeted out his Kentucky Derby picks, including Always Dreaming to win, and hit the Pick 4, which paid almost $6,900 on a $1 bet.
In a span of seven races last year for SportsLine, he cashed the winner of the Lecomte Stakes, the exacta in the Southwest Stakes ($468), the winner of the Holy Bull Stakes, the winner of the Sam F. Davis Stakes, and the trifecta in the Jenny Wiley Stakes. He also correctly called National Treasure to win last year's Preakness.
In May, Menez gave out 18-1 Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby. In June he nailed Trikari to win the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes ($434), and in September he had the exacta in the Franklin-Simpson Stakes.
And in November, he crushed the late Pick 4 on Breeders' Cup Saturday for a $5,303 score.
For Saturday, Menez has handicapped the late Pick 4 at Gulfstream Park, made his picks and constructed his tickets.
We can tell you that Menez is high on Guns Loaded, the 5-2 favorite in the Mucho Macho Man Stakes, the third leg of the Pick 4. "He has never been the distance but has been working well, and the pedigree suggests the mile won't be a problem," Menez told SportsLine. Guns Loaded is Menez's top pick in the Mucho Macho Man Stakes and the only A horse from the race on his Pick 4 tickets.
In addition, Menez's top pick in one of the races is a double-digit longshot. This horse "could clear this field at a nice price" and could spice up the Pick 4. Menez is including this longshot on his tickets, and so should you. You NEED to see Menez's analysis before making any Pick 4 selections.
So which double-digit longshot can win? And how has Menez constructed his Pick 4 tickets? ...
