H. James Bond sends out 2 runners (Purpose and Little Finch), which tells you the barn thinks the conditions suit.

Forecast: mostly cloudy, high of 77°F.

How to bet Finger Lakes Race 3

For a straight bet, Signal Chat is the price play at 6-1. To cover our top pick as well, a $1 exacta box of Purpose and Signal Chat costs $2.

To chase a bigger payout, use Wayward Queen (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.
