Where we’d put our money at Finger Lakes

Best bet: Charlie My Boy (8-5) in Race 2. The 8-5 morning-line favorite, so the track handicapper rates this horse as the one to beat. Jeremias Flores has won 11 of 55 rides (20%) at New York tracks in our records. Race 2 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Sanzio (20-1) in Race 7. At 20-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
