Great Escape follows as a secondary choice with strong recent connections and form indicators. Spoiler is cited for steady track experience and consistent finish record. This race is viewed as the most straightforward of the evening with Carbone heavily favored by the professional handicapping community. Analysts warn that race 8 may offer limited value in straight wagering but remains crucial for multi-race sequences.
Race 9 Estimated Finish Order – Claiming – 5-1/2 Furlongs – 10:44 PM
Win: Ize a Blast – 31%🥈
Place: Business As Usual – 28%
Show: Mictlan – 12%🥇Alternative: Lottery Ticket – 12%

Pick Pony analysts emphasize Ize a Blast as the closing race selection to include in multi-race sequences and late-race pick tickets.
Exotic Bets and Value Plays
Pick Pony analysts recommend building multi-race sequences anchored on the strongest consensus selections: Yoda Winner (Race 1), Pontotoc (Race 2), Suprising Code (Race 3), Caymen’s Soldier or El Protonico (Race 4), Devious Lover (Race 5), Lil Elvis or Threesocks (Race 6), Get Dreamy or Rev’s Tomb (Race 7), Carbone (Race 8), and Ize a Blast (Race 9).
Exacta value plays surface in Races 1, 4, 6, and 7, where multiple contenders share similar analyst backing percentages. Race 6 stands out as the most competitive, with Lil Elvis and Threesocks tied at 29% consensus each. Race 4 presents a statistical toss-up between Caymen’s Soldier and El Protonico, creating excellent exotic opportunities.
For Pick 3 sequences, focus on Races 1-3 with heavy emphasis on Suprising Code as the anchor, then pivot into Races 7-9 where Get Dreamy/Rev’s Tomb and Carbone anchor the sequence before closing with Ize a Blast.
Pick 5 sequences (Races 1-5) should include multi-horse boxes in Races 1, 4, and 5 given the competitive percentages and lower consensus dominance in these contests.
Longshot value exists with Let Her Buck (Race 1), Total Insanity (Race 3), K Q Spirit (Race 4), and Lottery Ticket (Race 9), all drawing modest analyst support yet possessing legitimate credentials for exotic surprise finishes.
Key Analytical Observations
Strongest Consensus Choices: Carbone (Race 8) and Ize a Blast (Race 9) emerge as the two most heavily endorsed selections of the evening, with 30% and 31% analyst consensus respectively. These represent the most straightforward winning candidates on the card.
Most Competitive Races: Races 4, 6, and 7 present the greatest analytical difficulty, with consensus percentages distributed across three to four horses in relatively tight clustering. These races offer superior exotic value but present higher volatility for straight wagering.
Layoff Considerations: Multiple selections involve horses returning from extended rest periods. Gospel War Cry (Race 2), Cajun Warrior (Race 5), and Regal Son (Race 7) are specifically cited by analysts as benefiting from freshness and fitness-building utility for multi-race tickets.
Class Movement Analysis: Devious Lover (Race 5) and potentially Ize a Blast (Race 9) are flagged for class-drop scenarios, a factor analysts consistently emphasize as positive momentum indicators.
First-Time Starters: Western Man (Race 6) and possibly Ima Boxer Boy (Race 4) receive analyst nods for strong pre-race indicators, adding depth to races already complicated by multiple viable contenders.
