Zia Park Picks & Predictions — November 9, 2026

Ten Figures rates right at the top of the field alongside Awesome Road at 85.62 and owns the second-fastest recent race speed at 11.97 sec/furlong — this horse should be right there at the top of the stretch. Five wins and 10 placings in 17 starts on dirt speak to consistent form, and he's placed in four of his last six races. The one flag is that he's not on Lasix while six horses in this field are, which can be a minor disadvantage — but the overall profile still makes him the clear logical second choice.

Ario checks in third in the ratings at 69.96 with a 30% career win rate — the best in the field — and has placed in 8 of 15 starts on dirt. The Tohill-Pierce pairing brings an 18% win rate and 57% in-the-money figure over the past year, solid credentials for this spot. The recent race speed is a concern at 12.73 sec/furlong (seventh in the field), which suggests he may be more of a pace-chaser than a pace-setter over a mile — but his consistency and class make him a logical trifecta inclusion.

West Is West opens at 8/1 on the morning line yet ranks second in the TrackWiz ratings at 79.79 — that gap between rating rank and odds is exactly the kind of overlay worth noting. He's placed in 12 of 19 starts on dirt and is coming off a streak where he's hit the board in 4 of his last 6 races. The claiming price bump from $6,250 to $7,500 is a mild concern, but a horse this consistent in the ratings at this price deserves strong consideration for exacta play.

Dynamic Saga may be listed at 10/1 on the morning line, but he ranks third in the ratings at 76.46 and is riding a two-race in-the-money streak. Jockey Perez has put up a 23% win rate and 64% in-the-money figure over the past year — one of the better rides in this field. The age concern at six years is noted, but his recent form says he's still competitive at this level and he's worth including in trifectas.

Cause Mimi Said has a genuinely strong distance record — 1 win and 4 placings in 5 starts at 6 furlongs — and she's coming off a win on September 5, 2026 to boot. Her 50% in-the-money rate across 17 dirt starts and a claiming price jump from $5,000 to $7,500 tells you connections believe she belongs at the higher level. The bump in claiming price is the concern to monitor, but the distance-specific form here is as good as anyone in this field.

Run for Kidder ranks third in our ratings at 62.35 and has the second-fastest recent race speed in the field at 11.86 sec/furlong — a figure that suggests she can go toe-to-toe with the speed horses early. She's placed in 7 of 13 dirt starts for a solid overall record, and Andrade is a Grade B+ jockey who hits at 24% over the past year. The concern is a three-race losing skid and a claiming price increase from $6,250 to $7,500, so she's best used as a trifecta piece rather than a primary investment.

Dreamily rates second at 84.90 and has the second-fastest recent race speed at 12.09 sec/furlong — essentially a dead heat with Venus Rocks on that measure. The Portillo Gomez-Armstrong combination has connected at a 28% win rate and 80% in-the-money figure over the past year, which is one of the strongest pairings on the card today. With 1 win and 4 placings in 8 dirt starts, she's proven she can handle this surface, and her 21.67% sim win share makes her a strong exacta partner with the favorite.

Charlizeangelbaby drops in claiming price from $10,000 to $7,500 — a class relief angle that is always worth noting — and the jockey-horse combo with Amparan has clicked at a 22% win rate and 54% in-the-money. Jockey Amparan himself posts a 22% win rate over the past year, among the better numbers on the board today. The concern is a poor record at 6 furlongs (1 placing in 4 starts), so managing expectations is wise, but as a third-place finisher in a competitive field, her class drop gives her a real foothold.

Khantaro d'Oro ranks second in the TrackWiz ratings at 79.32 and brings the best jockey-trainer connection in the race — Juarez and Cappellucci have combined for a 31% win rate and 66% in-the-money over the past year, and Juarez individually hits at 24%. He's placed in 8 of 14 dirt starts for a 50% in-the-money mark and his career consistency is well above average for this level. The age (seven years old) and the claiming price increase from $6,250 to $7,500 are worth flagging, but the connections alone keep him very much in the mix.

Lewis Bere opens at 8/1 but rates third in our model at 69.95 — that gap between rating and morning-line odds is an overlap angle worth paying attention to. He posted the third-fastest recent race speed in the field at 11.93 sec/furlong, and jockey Nunnally has a 19% win rate and 57% in-the-money figure over the past year. The claiming price increase from $6,250 to $7,500 is a mild concern, but as a trifecta piece at a generous price, Lewis Bere makes real sense.

Unwound is the morning-line favorite at 7/5 and it's not hard to see why — she's placed in 5 of her last 6 starts and has a remarkable 83% in-the-money career mark in dirt races. Jockey Fuentes has a 26% win rate and 62% in-the-money figure over the past year, solid credentials. The concern is a relatively slow recent race speed (sixth in the field at 12.37 sec/furlong), which could be a problem if the pace gets hot early — but her consistency and connections make her a lock for the exacta.

Gamblaway brings the fastest recent race speed in the field at 11.88 sec/furlong and has 3 wins and 8 placings in 15 dirt starts — a well-rounded résumé for this allowance level. He's also placed in his last two starts, showing current form. The concern is a poor record specifically at 6 furlongs (1 placing in 4 starts), and he's not on Lasix while five rivals are. At 5/1 on the morning line, he's an interesting trifecta piece if the pace sets up for a speed horse to wire the field.

Wash Money rates second in the field at 62.51 and brings a 20% jockey in-the-money figure with Elvin Gonzalez hitting at 64% over the past year. She also drops in claiming price from $10,000 to $7,500, mirroring the class relief angle of our top pick. The concern is a rough recent stretch — just one placing in her last five starts and nothing in the last three — so current form is a legitimate question mark. That said, the class drop and jockey numbers keep her in the exacta conversation at 8/1.

Zia Casino Gold opens at 2/1 as the morning-line favorite and ranks third in the TrackWiz ratings at 58.33, backed by workout support (second over the last month at 12.16 sec/furlong) and a jockey who hits at 51% in-the-money over the past year. As a first-time starter with no prior race figures, she's largely a projection play — but the workout credentials and connections (Grade A- trainer Joel Marr) are among the strongest in the field for a maiden. She's the logical anchor for conservative bettors who want the well-bred unknown.

La Vikina comes in with a remarkable 6-furlong record — she's placed in 7 of 9 starts at today's exact distance, which is about as distance-specific as it gets in this sport. She ranks second in the ratings at 77.29 and has 1 win and 11 placings in 22 starts on dirt overall. The age (eight years) and the claiming price increase from $6,250 to $7,500 are flags, but a horse that hits the board 78% of the time at today's specific distance and distance is never easy to dismiss in an exacta.

Beautiful Breeze opens at 10/1 yet ranks third in the TrackWiz ratings at 76.88, just a half-point behind La Vikina — another overlay angle in this field. She's placed in 4 of her last 6 starts, ranked third in recent race speed at 12.03 sec/furlong, and second in recent workouts at 12.05 sec/furlong, suggesting she's both fit and finding her form. With a Grade A trainer in Ryan Kenney and a Grade B jockey in Bethke, the connections are well above average for a 10/1 morning-line shot — she's a compelling trifecta and exacta addition.
