Best bet of the day at Finger Lakes

Best bet: D I Wire (4-5) in Race 4. The 4-5 morning-line favorite, so the track handicapper rates this horse as the one to beat. Paco Lopez has won 4 of 24 rides (17%) at New York tracks in our records. Race 4 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Just a Guy (20-1) in Race 9. At 20-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
