SUNLAND PARK – Wes Giles-trained Bigg Picture will be seeking his third straight stakes win when he arrives in the paddock as the 3-to-1 morning line favorite for Saturday’s 28th running of the $80,000 Red Or Green Stakes, a restricted Grade 2 event for New Mexico-bred older quarter horses at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino.

Bigg Picture, owned by Uno Menos and bred in New Mexico by Mj Farms, is coming off back-to-back stakes victories at Zia Park, most recently the Grade 1 Zia Park Championship, in which the son of Big Daddy Cartel beat open company.

Prior to that, Bigg Picture captured the Namehimastreaker New Mexico Classic Championship Stakes at Zia Park, one of his five wins from eight starts in an extraordinary 2025 campaign for the 5-year-old gelding. In all, Bigg Picture has amassed earnings of more than $440,000 while winning six times from 21 starts.
