Best Bets and Quick Picks

Will Rogers Downs: Race 1: $10,000 Claiming (one mile on dirt, 2:15 p.m. ET)

#5 Whiskey Drinker (7-5) won two starts in a row to wrap up 2025. Most notably, he trounced a $10,000 claimer at Remington Park by three lengths over #4 Janes Girl (8-5), who subsequently smashed another $10,000 claimer at Remington by 10 1/2 lengths.

Whiskey Drinker is training fast for her 2026 debut and looks ready to continue her win streak for the red-hot jockey/trainer duo of David Cabrera and Scott Corderman. Let’s key her over Janes Girl in a cold exacta, then single her to start a daily double.

Selections

• #5 Whiskey Drinker (7-5)
• #4 Janes Girl (8-5)
• #3 Fella’s Sister (4-1)

Wagers

• $20 Exacta: 5 with 4
• $10 Double: 5 with 1
  Total: $30

Will Rogers Downs: Race 2: Maiden Special Weight (six furlongs on dirt, 2:47 p.m. ET)

#1 Runaround Rowdy (9-5) debuted with a third-place finisher dashing 5 1/2 furlongs over this track and class level on Jan. 13. With only one race under his belt, he still has upside for hot trainer Scott Young, a 24% winner at Will Rogers Downs this meet.

We’ll bet Runaround Rowdy over #2 Love U Father (8-5) in a cold exacta.

Selections

• #1 Runaround Rowdy (9-5)
• #2 Love U Father (8-5)
• #5 Flat Out Luck (5-1)

Wagers

• $20 Exacta: 1 with 2

Turf Paradise: Race 2: $12,500 Maiden Claiming (one mile on dirt, 3:40 p.m. ET)

#5 Smokin Hot Chick (5-2) has finished fourth, seventh, third, eighth, and fourth in her last five starts, all in California. Those were $20,000 maiden claimers for California-breds, and in four of them, Smokin Hot Chick posted consistent Brisnet Speed ratings in the 57-59 range.

Smokin Hot Chick looks fast enough to challenge while tackling a $12,500 maiden claimer at Turf Paradise, so let’s key her over #6 Scarlett Letter (7-2) and #7 More Trouble (4-1) in exacta and trifecta tickets.

Selections

• #5 Smokin Hot Chick (5-2)
• #6 Scarlett Letter (7-2)
• #7 More Trouble (4-1)

Wagers

• $12 Exacta: 5 with 6,7 ($24)
• $3 Trifecta: 5 with 6,7 with 6,7 ($6)
  Total: $30

Good luck!
