Best bet: I'm Worthy (1-2) in Race 6. The 1-2 morning-line favorite, so the track handicapper rates this horse as the one to beat. Kendrick Carmouche has won 18 of 169 rides (11%) at New York tracks in our records. Race 6 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Nothingbutnitro (50-1) in Race 8. At 50-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
