Before I get to this Saturday’s selection, apologies for missing last week’s piece. Travel woes got in the way. Hopefully, the price horse who has me intrigued will prove worth the wait.

For the sixth year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2022 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2022 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big Race Showdown.”

Just a point separates the top two horses on the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings as European standout Baaeed with a 128 rating leads U.S. star Flightline (127) by the slimmest of margins.

Can the lone female in the field defeat the boys in Saturday’s $500,000 Grade 1 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga Race Course? It’s happened before, and it seems very likely to happen again.
