Stephen Foster Handicap 2016: Odds and Expert Picks

Tomorrow’s card at Churchill Downs features the grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap for three-year-olds and up at a mile and an eighth. The horse that emerges as the winner will earn an automatic berth into the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Effinex, who last year won the grade 1 Clark Handicap at Churchill after running second to American Pharoah in the Classic, is the even money favorite. Here is the post draw and morning line odds as seen on the HRN Stakes Tracker ...

Coming off a win in the grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap, Effinex is looking like the horse to beat in the Stephen Foster, but Majestic Harbor and Eagle could be strong threats. Majestic Harbor won the grade 2 Alysheba on the Kentucky Oaks undercard last time out with Eagle following in second. For more information on handicapping the race, and expert picks, take a look at the analysis from Zipse at the Track here: Stephen Foster Handicap 2016: Odds and Analysis, as well as the video Race of the Week from Jarrod Horak below.
