February 26, 2021

This weekend offers a trio of Triple Crown prep races toward the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. To help you tackle the diverse set of races, the 1/ST BET app’s artificial intelligence provides its look at the John Battaglia Memorial from Turfway Park, the Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn and the Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park.

Selections provided by the 1/ST BET app measure each contender against the 10 leading factors for each race. The 1/ST BET app looks at 52 handicapping factors and more than 200,000 past races to determine its AI selections. You can use the automated handicapping factors, or create your own factor filters to incorporate angles you prefer.
