Breaking down the Race 2 field

Doc Advantage is the 9-5 morning-line favorite, with Limit Up next at 5-2. It is a tightly priced field, which usually means a competitive race.

Jon Arnett sends out 2 runners (Hunters Ghost and Biyombo), which tells you the barn thinks the conditions suit.

Forecast: mostly cloudy, high of 77°F.

Best betting value in Race 2

For a straight bet, Biyombo is the price play at 8-1. To cover our top pick as well, a $1 exacta box of Doc Advantage and Biyombo costs $2.

To chase a bigger payout, use Muazarah (10-1) underneath in trifectas.

Morning-line odds are the track handicapper’s forecast, not the final price. Pari-mutuel odds move with the money until the gates open.
