Weekday picks and plays for Thoroughbred racing.
Monday, April 6
Fonner Park, Race 1: Maiden special weight (6 furlongs, 5 p.m. ET)
#4 Mr. Big Shot (3-1 on the morning line) literally has a big shot to win this 6-furlong sprint for Nebraska-bred maidens. The son of Skipshot enters off three straight third-place efforts dashing a half-mile at Fonner Park, for which he earned competitive Brisnet Speed ratings of 54, 60, and 56.

Stretching out in distance should only help Mr. Big Shot. The progeny of Skipshot have a hefty average winning distance of 7.8 furlongs, which suggests additional ground will benefit Mr. Big Shot. With hot jockey/trainer combo Jake Olesiak and David Anderson in his corner, Mr. Big Shot looms as the most likely winner of the Monday opener.
Let’s play Mr. Big Shot on top of a straight exacta with #2 J Train underneath.
$20 Exacta: 4 with 2
Good luck!
