It’s going to be a busy weekend on the race track, and the action is actually going to get going on Friday night. Keeneland is going to be the site of some big races this weekend, including the Sycamore Stakes on Friday night.
This is going to be a thrilling race at Keeneland, and there are a number of horses that should be in the mix. Not only is this going to be a great race, but there will also be some excellent betting options that exist.
Here is a look at the Sycamore Stakes and some of the top betting picks that should be made.
A Look at the Favorites
This is a Grade 3 horse race, and that means that all of the horses in this race are going to be some that have had success throughout the year. There isn’t one clear betting favorite in this race, but instead a strong group of contenders.
Tawny Port is coming into this event as the slight betting favorite at +400, and that is a horse that always seems to be in the mix. This horse likes to run from the front, and getting out in the lead is going to be a huge key for this horse.
The next horse on the list of betting favorites is Ohana Honor, and the odds for that horse are sitting at +450 to come away with a win. Ohana Honor has been a contender in some big races this year, and it will look to do the same at the Sycamore Stakes.
The third and final horse that you could consider a betting favorite in this race is going to be Bold Act at +500. Bold Act has seen its odds improve over the last few days, and there are plenty that are backing this horse to win.
Other Top Contenders
You always want to check out the list of contenders in any horse race, and that group is rather long for this event. This is when you are going to get the best odds available, but you would also be rooting for a small upset.
Highway Robber is clearly the top contender at +600, and that’s another horse that has had a big shift in the odds of late. There is a big drop off in the odds after this horse, but still some horses that can make a nice run.
- Dataman +1000
- Cathkin Park +1400
- Verstappen +1500
- Sugoi +1600
Time to Make a Pick
Tawny Port has been given the title of betting favorite for a reason, but proving that it’s the top horse in the field will come down to running a great race. There are some other betting favorites in the mix, and some other contenders that are looking to make a push as well.
This should be a race that is decided right before the finish line, and that is going to lead to a ton of excitement. Going with Bold Act at +500 is going to be the right pick to make as it will find a way to win the Sycamore Stakes.
