Best Bets and Quick Picks
Will Rogers Downs: Race 4: Maiden Special Weight (5 1/2 furlongs on dirt, 3:36 p.m. ET)
#1 His Way (4-1) showed some ability when debuting in a 6 1/2-furlong maiden special weight on Oct. 30 at Will Rogers Downs. He dueled for the lead through solid pace fractions before tiring to finish fifth, beaten 5 1/4 lengths.
His Way may find the competition a bit easier at Will Rogers Downs, and adding Lasix opens the door for improvement. Let’s place a win bet on the son of Blame, then key him over logical favorite #4 Uniter (5-2) in an exacta.
Selections
- #1 His Way (4-1)
- #4 Uniter (5-2)
- #7 Flat Out Luck (3-1)
Wagers
- $20 to win on #1 His Way
- $5 Exacta: 1 with 4
Total: $25
Will Rogers Downs: Race 5: Allowance (one mile on dirt, 4:03 p.m. ET)
#3 Miskellieanne (6-1) has run three times on turf in Louisiana. She won a one-mile maiden special weight at Louisiana Downs, then finished eighth and ninth in a pair of two-turn allowances at Fair Grounds.
As a daughter of McKinzie, Miskellieanne has the pedigree to relish switching from turf to dirt. Facing easier competition at Will Rogers Downs should help her chances as well.
Let’s place a large win bet on Miskellieanne and hope her enticing 6-1 morning-line odds hold up.
Selections
- #3 Miskellieanne (6-1)
- #5 Sweet Aunt Rosie (3-1)
- #6 Sabres (5-2)
Wagers
- $35 to win on #3 Miskellieanne
Turf Paradise: Race 4: $10,000-$8,500 Maiden Claiming (five furlongs on dirt, 4:45 p.m. ET)
Formerly based in California, #2 Joyriding (2-1) ran well when dropping in class for a $15,000-$12,500 maiden claimer at Turf Paradise last time out. She finished second by three lengths, and the form was flattered when both the winner and the third-place finisher came back to record next-out wins.
Taking another step down the class ladder should make Joyriding tough to beat for the hot jockey/trainer duo of Karlo Lopez and Neil Koch. #4 Sparkley Barkley (5-2) can complete the exacta.
Selections
- #2 Joyriding (2-1)
- #4 Sparkley Barkley (5-2)
- #6 Earl’s Girl (6-1)
Wagers
- $20 Exacta: 2 with 4
Good luck!
