Best bet of the day at Finger Lakes

Best bet: Seams Like Destiny (9-5) in Race 4. The 9-5 morning-line favorite, so the track handicapper rates this horse as the one to beat. Reylu Gutierrez has won 11 of 59 rides (19%) at New York tracks in our records. Race 4 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Cruising Cat (20-1) in Race 5. At 20-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
