Key Races & Bets for Saturday July 20, 2024

Monmouth Cup Stakes – Race 10 at Monmouth – Post Time 4:38 PM Eastern
Top win Contender: Counterspy
Other win contender: Highland Falls

Counterspy is a “lone front runner” with an aggressive rider in Paco Lopez, who was up for a very strong win on June 10 where the horse won more easily than it appears, earning a 108 Equibase Speed Figure which is the best/fastest winning figure earned by any horse in the field this year. In his only start since, he did not get the lead in a seven furlong race where the opening half-mile was :44 and change but he was four lengths off that hot pace which projects to an easy lead in this two-turn race. Counterspy has won his last four two-turn races, all powerfully, with the one on March 24 even faster than on June 10, as he earned a 112 figure, and so it is highly likely he can win for the seventh time in his career. Even if low odds he may offer value in doubles to the next race, the United Nations, and similarly to the pick 3 ending in the Haskell (Race 12).
