Video: Finding value in Saturday's races

With the Breeders' Cup just about one month away, the upcoming first Saturday in October features several key prep races. Handicapper Sara Elbadwi highlights three horses that have a big chance to outrun the odds, one of which will be running in the Ack Ack (G3), a "win and you're in" for the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. 

The focus begins with race 6 at Belmont at Aqueduct, which starts the Pick 6 sequence. Elbadwi discusses a horse that has been hitting the board at double digit odds in his last three starts.

In a competitive edition of the Belmont Turf Sprint (G3), a 15-1 long shot could offer some value underneath. This horse hasn't won a race in over a year, however he has been extremely consistent throughout his career so far.

 

The Ack Ack features the return of Speaker's Corner. However Elbadwi is going in a different direction. As the most lightly raced horse in the field, a 12-1 shot has plenty of upside and upset potential.
