2024 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes picks, odds: Horse racing writer has best bets for Saturday's race
Trainer Chad Brown can add to his record number of wins in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes when he sends out two horses in the 2024 Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky. Brown has won the race a record five times. On Saturday he goes for No. 6 with Oversubscribed (6-1) and Grayosh (8-1). However, the Cherie DeVaux-trained She Feels Pretty is the 5-2 morning-line favorite in the Queen Elizabeth II odds. Post time for the Grade 1 race is 4:44 p.m. ET.
With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what SportsLine writer Gene Menez has to say before making any Queen Elizabeth II picks or horse racing predictions. Join SportsLine here to get his full Coolmore Turf Mile picks.
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. Join SportsLine right here to see his 2024 Queen Elizabeth II picks.
In a span of seven races last year for SportsLine, he cashed the winner of the Lecomte Stakes, the exacta in the Southwest Stakes, the winner of the Holy Bull Stakes, the winner of the Sam F. Davis Stakes, and the trifecta in the Jenny Wiley Stakes. 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, and last month he hit the exacta in the Franklin-Simpson Stakes.
Now, Menez has looked at the 2024 Queen Elizabeth II, made his picks and formulated his bets. Join SportsLine here to see them.
We can tell you that Menez is completely tossing She Feels Pretty, even though she is the 5-2 favorite. "I'm going to fade the favorite, She Feels Pretty, who should've won her last two starts if she's as good as her odds say she is," Menez told SportsLine. Menez is not using She Feels Pretty on any wagers.Â
Instead, Menez's top pick is a horse who is "dangerous."Â He is including this horse in his wagers, and so should you. You absolutely need to see which horse it is before making any 2024 Queen Elizabeth II picks of your own.
So what horse wins the 2024 Queen Elizabeth II? And how has Menez constructed his wagers? ... Join SportsLine now to get the top 2024 Queen Elizabeth II picks and bets, all from the expert who gave out 18-1 Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby!
