(Will Thacker at Churchill Downs)

Will Thacker is a senior at Michigan State University and will be graduating with honors this Spring. He has already done internships near Ft. Myers, Fla, and in Manhattan, NY. He was worked on Wall Street and in the sports gaming network. And, he hopes to land a career opportunity soon working in the field of sports representation.

He will begin a new program for us, picking a “Sports Bet of the Day.”

We will keep his statistics and post each week. In addition, this will be an actual play. We will be playing $50 for each of Will’s picks.

Hope you enjoy following this new addition to “The Pressbox.”

Saturday’s “Best Bet” Pick:

St. John’s, at home, -5.5 vs Villanova
