2020 United Nations Stakes Handicapping
The first of two Grade 1 stakes races on tap for Saturday afternoon at New Jersey’s Monmouth Park, the United Nations has an expected field of nine horses aged three and older, set to race 1 3/8 miles on the Monmouth turf course.
The race has drawn a competitive field of top-level runners without a real stand-out favourite and offers lots of good betting value.
Odds listed here are morning line odds from the Monmouth track handicapper.
2020 United Nations Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Arklow Race Odds: 5-2
A six-year-old veteran with 27 starts and 15 in-the-money finishes under his saddle, Arklow has been racing at the highest levels lately but is looking for his first win since taking the (G1) Joe Hirsch Turf Classic last October. Since then he’s made four starts, with his best result a second-place run in the (G3) Louisville Stakes at Churchill Downs.
He comes back after just one week off, having run sixth last Saturday in the (G2) Elkhorn Stakes at Keeneland.
Brad Cox trains, Mike Smith gets the call to ride.
2020 United Nations Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Standard Deviation Race Odds: 7-2
A winner of three of 12 lifetime, Standard Deviation is still looking for his first graded-stakes victory in what will be his sixth attempt. He was knocking on the door to close out 2019, finishing third in both the (G2) Hill Prince Stakes and the (G1) Hollywood Derby, but seemed to tire late last out in the Tiller Stakes, and here he’ll be asked to stretch out even further.
Graham Motion is the trainer, Trevor McCarthy is the jockey.
2020 United Nations Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Paret Race Odds: 6-1
An Australian-bred horse that ran up a pretty good record on his home soil, Paret has spent the past year racing in the US. Although most of his starts have come at the lower-stakes level, he’s one of few in here coming into the race off a win, having taken the Tiller Stakes at Belmont Park in early June at odds of 38-1.
In that race he beat several he’ll face here again, and managed a career-best 109 Equibase speed figure.
Trained by James Lawrence, Jorge Vargas Jr. will be in the saddle.
2020 United Nations Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Muggsamatic Race Odds: 8-1
Another one that has a last-out win, Muggsamatic has done most of his recent running at Gulfstream in Florida where he made a strong late move to capture the Soldier’s Dancer Stakes just over one month ago.
While that race was restricted to Florida-breds and he’s taking a big step up in class here, he appears to want more distance than he’s been running lately and the stretch out here could be an advantage.
Michael Maker is the trainer, while veteran Paco Lopez will ride.
Here’s my 2020 United Nations Stakes Free Pick.
As mentioned earlier, this shapes up to be a pretty competitive race and a case could be made for four or five possible winners, but I’ll be playing Paret to both win and place at what should be fairly decent odds. I think he’s just coming into his own in terms of racing in the US, and I like the fact his last-out win was at the distance against a field that was arguably better than this.
I’ll also put him in a three-horse exacta box with Standard Deviation and Muggsamatic.
