It's the Empire Classic weekend at Belmont Park. Rich breaks out the handicapping hat and tries his luck with the Empire Pick 6. The ticket includes his winners for five of Belmont's Saturday Stakes races. So, even if you aren't betting the Pick 6, you'll want to know which horses he has on top. It should be a good day of value as many favorites appear vulnerable. 

Rich tries to add some excitement to a light day of Saturday Stakes racing with late Pick 4 tickets at Keeneland and Santa Anita racetracks.

Rich reviews Belmont Park's four, "Win and You're In" Breeders' Cup Challenge Series races this Saturday at Belmont Park. 

He picks the most likely winners for:

Race 4 - $250,000 CHAMPAGNE STAKES – GRADE I 
Race 5 - $250,000 FRIZETTE STAKES – GRADE I 
Race 8 - $250,000 FLOWER BOWL STAKES – GRADE I 
Race 9 - $250,000 JOCKEY CLUB GOLD CUP STAKES – GRADE I
