Backing Knicks Go
Knicks Go has the shortest horse racing odds for the reason being how dominant he has been through 2020 and 2021.
In the nine races that Knicks Go has competed in from the beginning of 2020, he has won seven of them including his last three. His only two races where he did not finish in first came at the Hill ‘N’ Dale Metropolitan Handicap and the Saudi Cup where he finished fourth place in both.
Knicks Go has been the favorite from the start after opening up with +275 odds before moving to +200.
Backing Essential Quality
Essential Quality has been sitting right behind Knicks Go from the beginning as well as he opened up with +375 odds and now is at +275.
Essential Quality has won three of his last four races including the Belmont Stakes. The one race in his last four that he did not finish in first was at the Kentucky Derby where he finished in fourth.
Backing Medina Spirit
Many might remember Medina Spirit as the horse who was stripped of his Kentucky Derby win after trainer, Bob Baffert, was found guilty of injecting him with PEDs.
Medina Spirit has seen their odds drop significantly as well going from +750 to +500.
Following the Kentucky Derby, Medina Spirit went on to win two of his next three races. The two races he won were the Shared Belief Stakes and the Awesome Again Stakes and the one race he did not win was the Preakness Stakes where he finished in third.
