Met Mile 2022 predictions, odds, picks, contenders, start time, horses: Speed-making insider loves long shot

Flightline is undefeated in three career starts and is the morning-line favorite in the 2022 Met Mile. Speaker's Corner is getting 8-5 odds in a five-horse field. Aloha West (6-1), Happy Saver (8-2), Informative (50- 1) and Man o' War Stakes winner Aloe West are also in it. Trainer Mike Weir is a Saratoga Springs-based racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker. He has handicapped the lineup and made his bets.

Speaker's Corner won the Grade 1 Carter by 4½ lengths. Weir is down on Speaker's corner's chances. He prefers two horses over Speaker’s Corner on his primary wager.

Weir's top pick is a horse who "has run extremely fast on every scale" and a long shot who should sit a perfect trip. Weir is sharing which horses to back only at SportsLine.
