Saturday is Whitney Stakes day at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and the mandatory-payout, all-stakes Pick 5 begins with Saratoga Derby Invitational Stakes at 3:21 p.m. ET and ends with Whitney Stakes. Before you make any picks, you NEED to know how SportsLine writer Gene Menez 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. And last month he nailed Trikari to win the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes ($434).

For Saturday, Menez has handicapped the penultimate Pick 5 at Saratoga, made his picks and constructed his tickets.

We can tell you that Menez is high on Cogburn, the 4-5 favorite in the Troy Stakes, the fourth leg of the Pick 5. "Cogburn has been sensational in his last two races, including a North American record 59.80 for 5.5 furlongs in the Jaipur Stakes. He's 5-for-5 at the distance and 5-for-6 on turf and can run on firm or soft. Single," Menez told SportsLine. Cogburn is Menez's top pick in the Troy Stakes and the only horse from the race on his Pick 5 tickets.

In addition, Menez is high on a double-digit longshot on Saturday. This longshot "will be the one picking up the pieces" and could spice up the Pick 5. Menez is including this longshot on his tickets, and so should you. You NEED to see Menez's analysis before making any Pick 5 selections.

So which longshot can win? And how has Menez constructed his Pick 5 tickets? ... Join SportsLine now to get Pick 5 selections at Saratoga for Saturday, all from the horse racing writer who gave out Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby!
