Pour Me a Drinkk is the play to circle first today — Race 2, a 400-yard dirt Trial, where our top-rated pick carries a 27.90% simulated win probability against a 9/5 morning line and the best recent race speed figure on the card at 10.88 sec/furlong. That combination of raw speed and a dirt record of 7 wins with a top-3 finish in 11 of 14 starts is tough to ignore.
The setting is Zia Park on a cool, cloudy Sunday — 67°F, no rain in the mix, which keeps the dirt surface honest and should reward horses that can get out of the gate clean. That's a theme across most of this 10-race card, which runs almost exclusively at sprint distances from 330 to 550 yards. Quarter-horse-style speed rules the day here, and today's conditions look ideal for fast, front-loaded efforts.
Three races are open to all TrackWiz readers — Races 2, 5, and 7 — and each offers its own angle. The remaining seven go deep inside the premium breakdown.

Race 1
Claiming · 550 yd · Dirt
A wide-open 12-horse claiming sprint at 550 yards where TrackWiz's top-rated horse carries a big edge in our simulations — but there's enough depth behind it to make the exotics interesting.
Total Lunar Eclipse lands atop our ratings at 88.54 and won a commanding 26.59% of 10,000 TrackWiz simulations — the clearest edge in this field. The horse owns the top recent speed figure in the race at 11.22 sec/furlong and has been on the board in each of its last three starts, a consistency angle that stands out in a field full of question marks. Add 18 dirt wins spread across 31 starts and a 58% in-the-money rate, and you have a horse that shows up reliably. The lone knock is age — seven years old — but the recent form says the tank isn't empty yet.
Thank Kvin checks in second on our ratings (71.35) and shares that top recent speed figure of 11.22 sec/furlong, so this one can clearly run. The jockey-trainer combo of Oscar Andrade Jr. and David Gomez-Barraza hits at a 22% win rate with a 59% in-the-money clip over the past year, which is a legitimate production angle. The one wrinkle is that Thank Kvin skips Lasix while 11 rivals are using it — in a race where medication patterns favor the opposition, keep that in mind.
Kash Baby Kash brings a perfect 2-for-2 record at Zia Park and has hit the board in four of the last six starts — that kind of local familiarity and recent consistency is worth a ticket in a sprawling field. Sergio Becerra Jr. in the irons is the top jockey grade (A) in this race, giving the horse a real edge in the saddle department. The concern is a last-place ranking in recent race speed (12.05 sec/furlong), so this one likely needs everything to set up perfectly, making the show spot the right level of involvement.
