Gene Menez, a former Sports Illustrated reporter and editor, has made his picks for the 2025 Oaklawn Handicap field and best bets. Menez correctly predicted Super Saver to win the Kentucky Derby in 2010 and gave out the Kentucky Derby superfecta in 2015. He is fading the favorite, First Mission, due to concerns about consistency and short odds, instead favoring a double-digit longshot who he believes has room for improvement.
Menez’s top pick for the 2025 Oaklawn Handicap is a double-digit longshot that he believes has potential to perform well on Saturday.
