Quick Picks 6/11 Forget sports: place your bet on this...

by Rachel Solomon on behalf of The Network / June 12, 2012

This weekend's main sporting events were rather disappointing thanks to the Celtics loss and the sudden injury of I'll Have Another, who would have been the only Belmont Stakes Triple Crown bidder . (Poor horsey, we hope you enjoy your hard earned retirement!) 

But if you want a sure bet, then Quick Picks is your answer. Check out our three picks for the best and brightest contenders for this week. And have a happy Father's Day this Sunday!
