Key Horse Races & Expert Handicapper Bets – October 2, 2021

Champagne Stakes - Race 8 at Belmont - Post Time 4:40PM Eastern My Prankster opens as the 5 to 2 third choice in this six horse field and is likely to remain the third choice in the wagering behind Chad Brown’s Jack Christopher (9 to 5) and Todd Pletcher’s Wit (2 to 1).

Jockey Club Oaks Invitational - Race 9 at Belmont Park - Post Time 5:14 Eastern I usually opt for the European invaders in a race like this, but in this case Higher Truth has to get top billing. She was bred in Ireland but has only raced in the U.S. and each race since her debut in March was significantly better than the other in terms of her speed figures.
