Zia Park picks, race by race
- 4Top pickAmazing MusicJuarez A J Jr · Cappellucci Dick
Why Amazing Music: Fits on speed with the best of this group. Was only a nose from winning last time. The Dick Cappellucci barn does well with maiden claimers.
- 3Top pickJawdropperAmparan F · Amparan Alberto
Why Jawdropper: Took a big step forward last time. Has the most early speed in a short dirt race. Turned in a bullet on Oct 11.
Value play1 Ridgehead Bet at 5-1 or higher
Went off at 23-1 last time but rates as a real contender here. Last start was a clear jump forward for her. Finished 3rd in her last start, 3 lengths behind the winner.
- 2Top pickLegion HeiressParris S · Olguin Ever
Why Legion Heiress: The lone front-runner in the field, and a candidate to wire them. Ran 3rd last out, beaten a head. Proven at this kind of distance.
- 3Top pickKaraoke HeroRamos C · Armstrong Sherry
Why Karaoke Hero: Has a slight edge on speed in a tightly matched field. Finished 3rd in his last start, 5 lengths behind the winner. Rarely runs a bad one: top three in 6 of 6 lately.
Value play2 Attila the Dun Bet at 7-1 or higher
Rates as a live contender but projects as an overlooked price. Quickest from the gate in a dirt sprint that tends to favor speed. The James Crotts barn does well with claimers.
- 1Top pickSudeikisValenzuela L A · Evans Justin
Why Sudeikis: Has the most early speed in a short dirt race. Second-best recent figures in the field. The Justin Evans barn does well with maiden special weight runners.
Value play2 Lennie G Bet at 6-1 or higher
The public let him go at 9-1 last out, and the ratings say that was a mistake. Ran 3rd last out, beaten 10½ lengths. Proven at this kind of distance.
- 8Top pickBode's LadyArboleda A · McFarlane Dan L
Why Bode's Lady: Holds a big edge on recent speed over this group. Finished 2nd in her last start, 3½ lengths behind the winner. Pedigree via Bodexpress fits today's sprint.
- 4Top pickHe's So SmoothJuarez A J Jr · Rushton Stacey
Why He's So Smooth: Right there on speed with the top runners. Was only 3½ lengths from winning last time. By Maximus Mischief, and bred to handle the sprint.
- 3Top pickB D OneAndrade O Jr · Fincher Todd W
Why B D One: Owns the best recent speed figures in the field. Can use her gate speed to get first run in this sprint. Finds a softer field today.
- 3Top pickR R BougieAndrade O Jr · Fincher Todd W
Why R R Bougie: Broke through with a win in her last start. Rarely runs a bad one: top three in 4 of 4 lately. The Todd Fincher barn does well with sprinters.
Value play4 Practical Dream Bet at 7-1 or higher
Should be a bigger price than this horse's chances deserve. Bullet work on Oct 4, best of 30 at the distance. Trainer Robertino Diodoro has a strong record with dirt runners.
- 4Top pickLet Him BeValenzuela L A · Marr Joel H
Why Let Him Be: Has run the fastest numbers of anyone entered. Broke through with a win in his last start. Has hit the board in 6 of his last 6 starts.
Value play5 Leave Them Behind Bet at 4-1 or higher
The kind of contender the betting tends to underrate. Rarely runs a bad one: top three in 5 of 6 lately. Right there on speed with the top runners.

Zia Park picks FAQ
Are these Zia Park picks free?
Yes. Every Zia Park card gets a free top pick for every race, a value play with the minimum odds worth taking, and the Best Bet of the day. Trackside Edge members also get the top three in every race with win estimates, pace notes, confidence ratings and multi-race tickets.
When are Zia Park picks posted?
Our Zia Park picks go up before the card, once entries are out, usually a day or more ahead. This page always shows the current or next Zia Park card, and every past card stays in the archive below.
How are the Zia Park picks made?
Every horse is rated by the TracksideProfits handicapping model: speed figures, current form and the likely pace first, then trainer and jockey, distance and surface fit and pedigree, then class, layoffs and workouts.
What does "Bet at 6-1 or higher" mean on a value play?
It is the lowest price at which the value play is worth a bet based on our win estimate. If the horse is shorter than that at post time, the value is gone.
What if one of the picks scratches?
Move to the next pick in that race. Picks are made before scratches and late changes, so always check the final field before you bet.
