Nine fillies will compete when the gate opens for the 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on Friday. Award-winning jockey John Velazquez was aboard race winner Gun Song last year and will ride Liam at the Dust in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes 2025. Liam in the Dust is 6-1 in the 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes odds, while Runnin N Gunnin is the 5-2 favorite. Margie’s Intention (3-1) and Amarth (4-1) round out the top four in the 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes field. Post time for the $300,000 race is 5:44 p.m. ET. Before making any 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes picks, you’ll want to see what SportsLine horse racing expert Gene Menez has to say.
A former reporter and editor at Sports Illustrated, Menez covered an array of sports, including horse racing, for the magazine and its website for almost 14 years. Between 2010 and 2012, he served as SI’s handicapper for the Triple Crown races and correctly predicted Super Saver to win the Kentucky Derby in 2010.
In May of last year, Menez nailed 18-1 Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby. In November, he crushed the late Pick 4 on Breeders’ Cup Saturday for a $5,303 jackpot. This year, he hit the winner and exacta in the Holy Bull Stakes and the winner, trifecta and superfecta in the Florida Derby. Anyone who has followed him on betting apps like FanDuel Racing, TwinSpires and 1/ST BET could have been way up.
For Friday, Menez has handicapped the 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes field, made his picks and constructed his best bets. You can head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes predictions
One of Menez’ surprising 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes picks: He is fading Runnin N Gunnin, even though she is the 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes favorite at 5-2. The expert acknowledges the filly’s credentials, being the daughter of Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Gun Runner and is trained by North America’s winningest trainer Steve Asmussen. Still, he doesn’t like this horse’s short odds in such an evenly-matched field.
“I think she’s the morning line favorite based on her third-place finish in the Fantasy Stakes, behind two Kentucky Oaks contenders, Quietside and Simply Joking,” Menez told SportsLine. “But Runnin N Gunnin was beaten by 9.5 lengths that day. Otherwise, her résumé doesn’t warrant her being a 5-2 favorite in this field.” See which 2025 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes horses he likes at SportsLine.
