While the New Mexico-bred runners had center stage Monday at Zia Park, the Tuesday card boasts 7 stakes in open company.
Zia Park: Race 8 (5:14 pm ET) | $100,000 Zia Park Championship
#11 Track Phantom (4-1 morning line odds) got back on the beam at Remington Park last out with a commanding allowance win. He looks wisely spotted here for Steve Asmussen with a chance to get back to his Gun Runner and Lecomte Stakes-winning credentials. I’ll use him in exactas with #6 Woodcourt, #4 Holiday Pay and defending race champ #10 Heroic Move. Win bet #11. Exacta key-box 11 with 6,4,10.
Zia Park: Race 10 (6:08 pm ET) | $300,000 Zia Park Derby
#7 Mister Omaha (3-1 morning line odds) has really come to hand in recent starts for veteran trainer Joe Offolter. He’s best when making the front, but not pace dependent, which could be important given the sprint speed of #8 McKinzie Street in the starting gate. Expect him to get the tactical jump on favorite #3 Brotha Kenny. Win bet #7.
