Pick Pony Handicapper Report — Evangeline Downs | October 24, 2026

Fast, drying dirt surface favors early speed and inside posts throughout the card. Post position is paramount at 250–350 feet; discount horses from posts 8–10 at those distances.

Race 1 — 250f | Maiden Claimer $10,000 | Post 6:35

Lm Shez An Eagle (1) is the clear top selection from the rail at 250 feet — post position alone makes this horse the foundation of all tickets. Jess Ran Away (6) and Mda Cartel Werker (3) are the preferred secondary choices for exacta and trifecta use. Apolitical Baby (8) and Xdw Again (2) are superfecta fillers only; all others outside post 6 can be dismissed.

Race 2 — 300f | Claimer $15,000 | Post 7:00

Fast Dashin Fortune (2) from the two-hole offers the best draw on the board and genuine value at 3-1 against morning line favorite Tk Eyema Struttin (3), who is also a strong contender from post 3. Corona B One (1) from the rail rounds out a natural three-horse exacta box as the primary play. Quick Lady Fury (6) is the lone trifecta addition worth including.

Race 3 — 350f | Maiden Claimer $20,000 | Post 7:25

Why Im Leaving You (3) is the night's best win bet — inside post versus a 2-1 favorite, Locomotive Explosion (10), stuck on the extreme outside in a ten-horse field at 350 feet. Wild Gold Celebriti (1) from the rail at 6-1 is a live longshot and the best value in the race. Georgias Gray Ghost (9) is a secondary exacta choice despite the outside draw, and Jj Special Eagle (2) and Early Bird Annie (4) are cheap superfecta inclusions at 20-1 from workable inside posts.

Race 4 — 350f | Allowance $15,000 | Post 7:50

Om Cold Blood (4) offers the best combination of draw and price at 4-1, with a clear post advantage over both Man For Cos (9) and Lil Ivory Legacy (7), who draw posts 9 and 7 respectively. Lil Ivory Legacy (7) and Man For Cos (9) fill out the exacta and trifecta underneath. Grand Crusader (1) from the rail at 12-1 is the lone longshot worth a small exotic inclusion.

Race 5 — 350f | Allowance $15,000 | Post 8:15

Angeles Estrellita (1) is the strongest single on the card for multi-race exotics — rail post in a 350-foot allowance with the barn's clear preference in the irons. Fly Sweets (7) and Cie Hombre (5) are the primary exacta and trifecta threats underneath. Streakin Priscila (2) at 8-1 from post 2 is the only longshot worth a small exacta inclusion.

Race 6 — 330f | Allowance $23,500 (Featured) | Post 8:40

The exacta box of Conair Cartel (3) and Mr La (1) is the night's best exotic play — same barn, two lowest morning line prices, posts 1 and 3 in the featured race. Conair Cartel (3) is the preferred win selection at 2-1, with Mr La (1) at 3-1 from the rail offering slightly better value. Mp Coco Pilot (4) and Da Big Red (7) are the trifecta additions, and Bmstrainiscoming (2) at 12-1 from post 2 is worth a token superfecta inclusion.

Race 7 — 400f | Maiden Special Weight | Post 9:05

Tha Deuce (1) at 4-1 from the rail offers better value than morning line favorite Memphys Blu (5) at 3-1 at the card's longest distance, where the rail still carries a positive lean. Bp Wheelin N Dealin (4) at 4-1 from post 4 completes a natural three-horse exacta box with Tha Deuce (1) and Memphys Blu (5). Ap Lad (9) and Life On The Train (6) are the trifecta extensions, with Shaazam (3) at 12-1 from post 3 the most appealing longshot for superfecta use.
