In the world of horse racing, Jody Demling is a name to note; a seasoned analyst, he correctly predicted the top three finishers of the Kentucky Derby and the exacta for the Preakness, marking an impressive start to the Triple Crown season.

Top Longshot Picks

1. Rodriguez (6-1): Trained by the acclaimed Bob Baffert, Rodriguez has potential, having previously qualified for the Kentucky Derby but sidelined due to a foot injury. With Mike Smith riding, expect him to lead from the start.

2. Crudo (15-1): Owned by famed chef Bobby Flay and trained by Todd Pletcher, Crudo began racing only in February but is already making waves with impressive wins.
