Recommended Exotic Bets and Value Plays
Early Pick 4 (Races 1-4)
Pick Pony analysts recommend a conservative approach with Coffee At K J’s as the single in Race 1, spreading in Race 2 with Vuela Paloma, Stubold, and Plum Irish, using Kazooza and Simo At The Big A in Race 3, and landing on Noche De Damas and Why in Race 4. Cost: 1x3x2x2 = $12 for a $1 ticket.
Middle Pick 4 (Races 4-7)
Pick Pony analysts suggest singling Noche De Damas in Race 4, spreading Both Sides, Neom City, and Smart Jenny in Race 5, singling He’s A Beast in Race 6, and using Rezasrolex with Gabaldon in Race 7. Cost: 1x3x1x2 = $6 for a $1 ticket.
Late Pick 4 (Races 6-9)
Pick Pony value play features singling He’s A Beast in Race 6, singling Rezasrolex in Race 7 for stability, using all top contenders Pure Class, Mish, Speak Easy, and Souper Quest in Race 8, and keying Torch Is Passed with Street Rod and Aegon Targaryen in Race 9. Cost: 1x1x4x3 = $12 for a $1 ticket.
Race 1 Exacta Box
Value play boxes Coffee At K J’s (5) with Final Payment (6) and No Bills Campaign (7). Cost: $6 for a $1 box. Strong consensus support makes this a solid early-race play with multiple closing options.
Race 2 Exacta
Straight play uses Vuela Paloma (3) on top with Stubold (9), Plum Irish (12), and Sweet Sash (5) for second. Cost: $3 for a $1 ticket. Vuela Paloma dominates expert selections and should wire this field.
Race 5 Trifecta
Pick Pony recommendation boxes Both Sides (1), Neom City (5), and Smart Jenny (4). Cost: $6 for a $1 box. This competitive claiming race lacks a clear standout, offering value with multiple contenders.
Race 6 Exacta
Straight play features He’s A Beast (1) over Souper Document (2), Wordondastreet (3), and Completeeffort (7). Cost: $3 for a $1 ticket. He’s A Beast drew overwhelming expert support and should dominate.
Race 7 Win Bet
Pick Pony strong play on Rezasrolex (5) to win. The strongest consensus pick of the entire card with elite Gulfstream form and a dominant recent victory. Consider a win bet or keying in all exotics.
Race 8 Trifecta Box
Value opportunity boxes Pure Class (1), Mish (7), Speak Easy (3), and Souper Quest (4). Cost: $24 for a $1 box. This competitive allowance race features four legitimate contenders with experts split, making a wider box appealing.
Rainbow Pick 6 (Races 4-9)
Pick Pony aggressive approach spreads strategically while singling standouts. Use Noche De Damas and Why in Race 4, spread four horses in Race 5 (Both Sides, Neom City, Smart Jenny, Chaina), single He’s A Beast in Race 6, single Rezasrolex in Race 7, use top four in Race 8 (Pure Class, Mish, Speak Easy, Souper Quest), and Torch Is Passed with Street Rod and Aegon Targaryen in Race 9. Cost: 2x4x1x1x4x3 = $96 for a $0.20 ticket.
Superfecta Value Plays
Race 3 features a wide-open maiden claiming field. Key Simo At The Big A (6) and Kazooza (2) on top with Lovethisbizz (3), My Boy Stan (4), and Blueberryhillkeke (1) for third and fourth. First-time starters add unpredictability.
Race 8 offers superfecta value with four legitimate contenders and no clear standout. Box Pure Class (1), Mish (7), Speak Easy (3), and Souper Quest (4). Seasoned runners returning from layoffs create uncertainty.
Daily Double Plays
Races 6-7 presents a strong double opportunity. Single He’s A Beast (1) in Race 6 with Rezasrolex (5) in Race 7. Cost: $1. Both horses drew dominant support and offer the two strongest consensus picks on the card.
Races 7-8 creates value with a standout and a contentious race. Single Rezasrolex (5) in Race 7 with Pure Class (1), Mish (7), and Speak Easy (3) in Race 8. Cost: $3 for a $1 ticket.
