Where we’d put our money at Finger Lakes

Best bet: Intentious (8-5) in Race 3. The 8-5 morning-line favorite, so the track handicapper rates this horse as the one to beat. Kevin Navarro has won 5 of 51 rides (10%) at New York tracks in our records. Race 3 picks and odds

Value play of the day: Words of War (12-1) in Race 6. At 12-1 on the morning line, the price is bigger than this horse’s connections suggest.
