Claiming Crown weekend at Churchill Downs gets started later today with a competitive card that commences at 1PM eastern. The 11-race slate is headlined by a $134k allowance at two-turns over the grass. Here are a few horses I like most on the Friday afternoon slate in Louisville.Race 8:My first play comes in this MSW event for 2YO fillies at six-furlongs over the main track where I like the chances of second-time starter #4 Seaton Springs. The daughter of Maclean’s Music debuted on October 25 over the challenging one-turn mile configuration at Churchill Downs where she showed good early speed, battled early along the inside, and tired late to finish a solid third. The Kenny McPeek trainee took live support in her first start going off a 7-2, should be fit and primed for a move forward on the turnback to six-furlongs, and retains the services of Jose Ortiz. Expecting a strong run by this Keeneland September ’25 purchase to kick off the late Pick 4.Play: #4 Seaton Springs (9-2 ML)Picks: 4-3-6Race 9:I am not overly creative in this beaten $50k claimer at six-furlongs over the main track where the pace should be honest. This should put class dropper #4 Camp Hale in a perfect spot early under regular rider Brian Hernandez Jr. The son of Mo Town has kept strong company throughout his 14-race career, including taking on strong second-level allowance fields in Kentucky over his last few starts. Trainer Ian Wilkes opts to drop the Whitham Thoroughbreds gelding in for a tag for the first time, which has led to him encountering the softest group he has faced in a while. Both of Camp Hale’s career victories came over this surface last year. He has a huge shot to revisit the Churchill Downs’ winner’s circle later this afternoon.Play: #4 Camp Hale (5-2 ML)Picks: 4-2-8Race 10:My final play of the day comes in the aforementioned featured event at one-mile over the lawn where the pace should be contentious given the presence of #3 Maui Strong and #10 Theismann amongst others. This should bode well for #2 Dr. Agne. The son of Into Mischief takes on older runners for the first time after trainer Cherie DeVaux added blinkers for his two starts this summer at Colonial Dows. The first start after the addition of shades against allowance foes led to a neck victory as the chalk before Dr. Agne raced against the flow in the Old Dominion Derby (G3). They crawled up front that early September day in Virginia, which is unlikely to be the case in this spot. Instead, jockey Jose Ortiz is likely to find a comfortable mid-pack position along the rail early and come with a strong run late. It is not always easy to best a field of veteran older runners in your first try after tackling your own age throughout your career, but Dr. Agne comes in fresh, draws favorably, and attracts Jose for the first time since last year. Hopefully, he does not get over bet due to his human connections.Play: #2 Dr. Agne (8-1 ML)Picks: 2-8-9

Hoosier Park has a 15-race card remembering Pompano Park, the Winter Capital of harness racing. The south Florida 5/8's oval was located in Pompano Beach. It opened on February 4, 1964, and despite growing in popularity in the years leading up to its closure, the final race went off on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022. Due to legislative changes, Caesars Entertainment was able to decouple the casino operations from live horse racing. The headliners tonight are 3-year-old males and 3-year-old fillies that will be battling for a share of $50,000 purses.Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 5 (7:02 PM EST)5-Odds On Bullfrog (3-1)-The Ian Moore 3-year-old made its Hoosier Park debut a winning one on 11/6. Went gate to wire after shipping in from Woodbine Mohawk Park. Beat 5 from this field last week and with a similar performance could double up. Has been on a win every other start over the last 6 races and will look for that to change here. Will need to down the 2-1 morning line chalk Swiss Lights who starts from post 9. That starting spot will be a challenge but has won 2 of the last 3 since going on Lasix. Joey Putnam is a new set of hands and that should help the price. The son of Bulldog Hanover has the gate speed to get the jump on this field again.5-9-4Race 9 (8:34 PM EST)7-Ponda Executive (5-1)-Form was so-so before shipping to DTN but the change of scenery seemed to put a charge into the 6-year-old. Rolled by a few foes in the late going to come 3rd after being 10 lengths back at the half pole in last. Did beat the $40k claimers 2 back with a 27.1 last panel. Will look for Marcus Miller to leave for a better seat and to be in striking range at a square price turning for the wire.7-4-8Race 10 (8:57 PM EST)5-Imperative (7/2)-Came a good 2nd against this type in its Hoosier Park debut. This will be the 2nd start in the Ron Burke barn and comes back against the same group. Will look for John DeLong to get rolling on the backside and has a nose for the wire. Should offer a square price and could be better with a start on this oval.5-3-2Check me out on X!

Del Mar’s Late Pick 4 last Friday paid $477, with the winners dismissed at 9-5, 5-2, 4-1 and 6-1 odds. A return visit to the 50-cent wager is worth taking on this week’s Friday The 13th card.Del Mar, Race 5 (5:30 EST) LEGAL HEIR led for a half mile in 6 of her last 9 turf sprints but only has a maiden win at Santa Anita to show for it. She was out-dueled by the 9-1 winner three starts back at today’s distance and by the 7-1 runner-up two back on the Del Mar lawn in a $50,000 optional claimer that produced two next out winners and three runners-up with an average 85 Beyer. She should take some catching as today’s solo play in the leadoff leg of the Pick 4.Del Mar, Race6 (6:00 p.m. EST) HE’S GOT FIRE was well-bet but settled for minor awards in his last three starts. He lures Rosario to ride and shows a fastest-of-36 work to try and upgrade to a victory. HALNINETHOUSAND removed the blinkers and earned the top two speed figures of his career with in-the-money finishes in September at this distance. He puts the blinkers back on today, perhaps a reflection of his :59-3/5 gate workout here November 5. LUCKY SNIPER finished a distant second twice as the favorite in the same spot. He can win but offers little value, considering his morning-line price and 8/0-0-1 dirt record from the rivals that returned out of those two races.Del Mar, Race7 (6:30 p.m. EST) PIPER’S CAUSEWAY has the speed, MAJESTIC PALISADES has the best Beyer speed figure from his last start, SOGNO DIVINO has good late kick and two wins in a row for a high-percentage turf-to-dirt barn. Well, you get the picture. It’s an “ALL” punch in leg 3.Del Mar, Race8 (7:00 p.m. EST) CHAIR’S COIN broke sharp but was quickly taken off the pace, advanced between rivals on the backstretch but tired from a good inside striking spot in the stretch. The drop from Maiden Special Weight company in her third start since February could make a winning difference. Her stablemate, PRECLUDE, also gets class relief after she angled widest for the stretch drive but couldn’t threaten the favorites, who finished 1-2. CUBAN FLAME followed the move of the winner and finished second by a neck at 1-1/8 miles. SILKIE SEVIE rallied for minor awards at three distances in her last six turf starts, but she was the beaten favorite four times since arriving from Ireland as the start of the year.Suggested Pick 4DMR 5th race: 7DMR 6th race: 1, 4DMR 7th race: ALLDRM 8th race: 3, 4, 5, 6Cost for 50-Cent Ticket: $24

Saturday in Louisville marks a huge day on the calendar for the “little guy” where it is the Claiming Crown at historic Churchill Downs. The 12-race card kicks off with a trio of non-Claiming Crown contests, including the Dream Supreme (G3) before nine featured events get started. The $200k Claiming Crown Jewel and the $175k Claiming Crown Emerald headline the day, but there is great action to be had from start-to-finish.To help you enjoy the day that much more, 1/ST BET and Xpressbet have a one-day promo to be sure to register for and it is as easy as it gets. Just head on over to the promotional landing page to register to get a 20% boost on your Win bets on the entire card, up to $20. Here are a few horses I plan to bet to Win on Saturday under the twin spires.Race 3: Dream SupremeTrainer Saffie Joseph Jr. holds an extremely strong hand in this six-furlong dash for fillies and mares over the main track. In fact, Joseph has half of the field with #1 Mystic Lake, #2 Haulin Ice, and #5 Indy Bay. Their task is to best 9-5-ML favorite #4 Echo Sound. The Rusty Arnold trainee comes off a disappointing run in the TCA (G2) where she stalked early and tired late as the 7-5-public choice. Her best handles this bunch, but I am not certain we get that on Saturday.I will try beat the Joseph trio and the chalk with #6 Justinqueso. The Ghostzapper filly heads into the toughest spot she has encountered through 17 starts in the best form of her career for trainer Ian Wilkes. She comes in off a runner-up effort against allowance foes at Keeneland and should be primed for a career best performance third off the layoff. Brian Hernandez Jr. returns to ride and should be in a good spot to spring the upset when they turn for home. Hopefully, she handles the class hike.Play: #6 Justinqueso (5-1 ML)Picks: 6-4-1Race 11: Claiming Crown JewelThe featured event on Claiming Crown Day is for horses that have started for a claiming price of $35k or less dating back to the start of 2025 at 1 1/8-miles over the main track where I like #3 Papa Yo. The son of Protonico moved into the Linda Rice barn this summer and rattled off two wins and a third in New York. The ten-time winner has proven success over this racetrack having won 4 of 6, has won 3 of 5 at the nine-furlong distance, and should sit a great trip just off an honest pace with Tyler Gaffalione aboard. Lots to like about the Roddy Valente owned gelding.Play: #3 Papa Yo (4-1 ML)Picks: 3-7-2Race 12: Claiming Crown EmeraldThe 2026 Claiming Crown concludes with this 1 1/16-mile event over the grass for horses that have started for a claiming price of 25k or less since 2025. #2 Unit Economics is the 6-5-ML favorite after rattling off a pair of wins in New York dating back to the end of August at Saratoga for trainer Chad Brown. He draws favorably along the inside and should get a great trip. That said, there are others that have chances in here as well that will offer much stronger value. One of those is #1 War Officer. The 6YO gelding has been freshened up for his first start off the claim for trainer Mike Maker. Maker claimed this son of War Front for $50k here at Churchill Downs in mid-September and apparently has been pointed to this spot ever since. He comes in off six maintenance drills over the main track and should be primed for a big run late. I will be diving in at anything close to his 15-1 ML price.Play: #1 War Officer (15-1 ML)Picks: 1-2-7

After a stop in West Virginia on Tuesday night for an evening at Mountaineer Park, our “Cornucopia of Cash” promotion heads north for a Thursday afternoon at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Remember, this month-long promo is simple. Just register on the landing page if you have yet to do so, bet $100+ on that Tuesday or Thursday select card., and earn a $10 bonus. Here are a few horses I like on the Thursday slate in Shelbyville, Indiana.Race 3:My first play of the day comes in this optional claimer at 1 1/16-miles over the grass where I landed on #8 Debt Paid. The son of Collected moves up in class for veteran conditioner Michelle Lovell after rattling off a pair of victories, including one over this course on October 15. The 5YO gelding will need to avoid getting caught up in an early battle since there does appear to be a solid amount of early speed signed on, but it is encouraging that jockey Marcelino Pedroza Jr. opts to ride Debt Paid instead of rival #1 Shure. Hopefully, Pedroza can find a way to break well, angle over like this gelding did last out, and find a favorable stalking position a length or two off the early pace. If so, I like his chances to out finish this bunch and get to the wire first for the sixth time in his career.Play: #8 Debt Paid (4-1 ML)Picks: 8-1-9Race 4:My next play comes in this state-bred MSW event at six-furlongs over the main track where 3-1-ML favorite #1 San Valentina looks vulnerable. The daughter of Santiva debuted a little over a week ago in a race where she showed solid tactical speed and ran a decent second, but was easily turned away by a runner that came into the race 0 for 14. The move to an inside draw against the boys could work out for the Silva Racing runner if she breaks well, but it adds an additional variable into the mix that I am not in love with.I will try to beat the chalk with #3 Z Set the Mark. The Tim Eggleston trainee debuted in a common race last month at 5.5-furlongs and things did not go well in the early stages for the son of Elite Squadron, but overall showed more promise than the final running line looks. He was off awkwardly, moved up on the backstretch, made a solid middle move against the flow of the race, and tired badly late. It was encouraging that Z Set the Mark took some public support in his first start and showed some ability in the middle stages. He should take a big step forward after gaining the invaluable experience in October. At his 12-1-ML price, he appears well worth the gamble.Play: #3 Z Set the Mark (12-1 ML)Picks: 3-2-1Race 7:My final play on the “Cornucopia of Cash” Thursday card comes in this state-bred second-level allowance event where I like #5 Smokinghot Justice. The 3YO filly takes on older runners for just the second time in her career after a pair of disappointing runs against stakes foes over the main track this fall. The Aaron West trainee only competed over the grass once so far and it led to a career best run in the Ellen’s Lucky Star in late August where she finished second beaten just a head at odds of 7-1. The pace should be honest at the very least in this 8.5-furlong affair over the grass, which should make the daughter of Harry’s Holiday tough to hold off in the final sixteenth of a mile.Play: #5 Smokinghot Justice (7-2 ML)Picks: 5-2-8
