Best Bets and Quick Picks

Zia Park: Race 6: Maiden Special Weight (six furlongs on dirt, 4:20 p.m. ET)

#2 Pass the Test (1-1) has finished second in her last two starts over this class level, earning Brisnet Speed ratings of 61 and 60. Those are the two highest numbers belonging to any of the fillies entered in Race 6.

Pass the Test appears to have found the perfect spot to snag her first win for the hot jockey/trainer duo of Miguel Perez and Greg Green. Let’s bet her on top of trifecta and superfecta tickets using #6 Day At a Time (2-1), #3 Runaway Daisy (5-1), and #2 Unwound (6-1) underneath.

Selections

• #2 Pass the Test (1-1)
• #6 Day At a Time (2-1)
• #3 Runaway Daisy (5-1)

Wagers

• $7 Trifecta: 2 with 6 with 2,3 ($14)
• $7 Trifecta: 2 with 3 with 6
• $3 Superfecta: 2 with 6 with 2,3 with 2,3 ($6)
• $3 Superfecta: 2 with 3 with 6 with 2
  Total: $30

Turf Paradise: Race 4: $20,000 Allowance Optional Claiming (six furlongs on dirt, 4:38 p.m. ET)

#1 Lucky Burglar (10-1) failed to factor in a pair of $40,000 and $50,000 allowance optional claimers during the summer at Del Mar, finishing sixth in both. But she was a strong competitor at Turf Paradise during the first half of 2025, winning the Ann Owens Distaff S. and a $35,000 allowance optional claimer.

Returning to Turf Paradise should help Lucky Burglar rebound. If her 10-1 morning-line odds hold up, a large win bet is in order.

Selections

• #1 Lucky Burglar (10-1)
• #5 Fun Money (5-2)
• #2 Ima Margarita Girl (4-1)

Wagers

• $40 to win on #1 Lucky Burglar

Zia Park: Race 10: Maiden Special Weight (six furlongs on dirt, 6:08 p.m. ET)

#6 I Am Paula Revere (6-5) ran strongly in a 5 1/2-furlong sprint over this track and class level on Nov. 10. After dueling for the lead, she stayed on to finish second against next-out New Mexico Classic Lassie S. winner Country Club Crush.

This runner-up finish earned I Am Paula Revere a sharp 71 Brisnet Speed rating, easily the highest number belonging to any filly entered in Race 10. Let’s bet her on top of #2 Gypsy Wildcat (7-2), the runner-up on Nov. 10, in a cold exacta.

Selections

• #6 I Am Paula Revere (6-5)
• #2 Gypsy Wildcat (7-2)
• #7 American Maker (10-1)

Wagers

• $25 Exacta: 6 with 2

Good luck!
