Best Bets and Quick Picks

Delaware Park: Race 6: Maiden Special Weight (six furlongs on dirt, 3:00 p.m. ET)

#4 Beauxbatons (3-1), an unraced three-year-old filly, is shipping in from Kentucky for trainer Whit Beckman. She’s put together an encouraging series of workouts, and Beckman strikes at a solid 14% rate with first-time starters.

As a daughter of Beau Liam out of the Into Mischief mare Unethical, Beauxbatons has the pedigree to show speed and score first-time out. Let’s load up with a win bet on the bay filly.

Selections

• #4 Beauxbatons (3-1)
• #3 Irish Jig (6-1)
• #1 Dream Eagle (6-1)

Wagers

• $25 to win on #4 Beauxbatons

Horseshoe Indianapolis: Race 9: Corningstone H. (six furlongs on dirt, 6:18 p.m. ET)

#3 Ekati Flatter (6-1) has cracked the trifecta in 17 of her 25 starts at Horseshoe Indianapolis. She opened 2026 with a win in the Merrill C. Roberts H., in which she defeated next-out allowance winner #2 Hot Middles (6-1) by a half-length.

Ekati Flatter is eligible to win right back for the red-hot jockey/trainer duo of Fernando De La Cruz and Randy Klopp, who have won at a 31% rate teaming up together over the last two months.

A win bet is in order, and we’ll also single Ekati Flatter to start a small double wager.

Selections

• #3 Ekati Flatter (6-1)
• #7 Werk It Wendy (3-1)
• #2 Hot Middles (6-1)

Wagers

• $20 to win on #3 Ekati Flatter
• $5 Double: 3 with 7
  Total: $25

Horseshoe Indianapolis: Race 10: Maiden Special Weight (five furlongs on turf, 6:49 p.m. ET)

#7 Amani’s Music (7-5) ran respectably when making her turf debut in a 5 1/2-furlong maiden special weight at Keeneland last month. She pressed an honest pace in second place before weakening slightly to finish fourth, beaten only two lengths in an 11-horse field.

Amani’s Music figures to find the competition easier at Horseshoe Indianapolis, and it’s worth noting trainer Brad Cox wins at a strong 30% rate with second-time turf starters. We’ll single Amani’s Music to conclude our double wager, then key her over #3 La Puma (9-2) in an exacta.

Selections

• #7 Amani’s Music (7-5)
• #3 La Puma (9-2)
• #1 Jr Miss Buttercup (6-1)

Wagers

• $20 Exacta: 7 with 3

Good luck!
