Fair Meadows Picks & Predictions — June 13, 2026

Saturday, June 13, 202610 racesFair Meadows

It's a scorcher at Fair Meadows today — clear skies and 90°F on the thermometer as a full 10-race card of Quarter Horse action gets underway. When it's this hot, horses that break sharp and get clear early have a real edge, so gate speed and clean breaks are going to matter even more than usual across these short dirt sprints.

The card is loaded on the back half, highlighted by two Stakes races in Races 7 and 9 — a rare double-feature that gives bettors a chance to stack some serious multi-race tickets. You've also got a mix of Maiden, Claiming, and Starter Allowance conditions sprinkled throughout, which means class angles and pace scenarios worth digging into from the jump.

Ten races. Two stakes. One very hot afternoon. Let's get into it.

Best Bets

Race 1

11:00 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 250 yd · Dirt

A wide-open maiden claiming sprint at 250 yards with a field of first-time starters, but one horse separates herself dramatically from the pack on the TrackWiz ratings board.

win9Go Lady BugML 7/5

Go Lady Bug draws the 9-hole and carries a TrackWiz rating of 89.42 — nearly 36 points clear of the next-best horse in the field, which is a massive gap in a nine-horse maiden sprint. She's installed as the 7/5 morning line chalk, suggesting connections and track insiders alike see a horse ready to fire a big debut. Roman Cruz climbs aboard, and with 250 yards leaving zero margin for error, a clean break is everything — Go Lady Bug's profile suggests she's got the raw ability to get out of the gate and never look back.

place3Simple DimpleML 7/2

Simple Dimple lands as our place pick at 7/2 morning line with a TrackWiz rating of 53.88, third-best in the field and a clear notch above the mid-pack. Trainer Mallory Norton and jockey Jimmy Dean Brooks connect here, and at short sprint distances, a horse who simply breaks clean and runs her race can easily find the board. If the favorite stumbles out of the gate — always possible in a maiden 250 — Simple Dimple is well-positioned to grab second.

show7Apollitical KolorsML 8/1

Apollitical Kolors (No. 7) is the show pick at 8/1 with a rating of 48.25, making her an appealing exotics piece at a price. Trainer Felesha Gold puts Antonio G. Perez up, and the Apollitical bloodline in Quarter Horse racing often signals a horse ready to perform first out. At 250 yards, she needs a clean gate and a short run to the wire — her profile suggests enough talent to hit the board at a solid overlay price.

Race 2

11:25 PM EDT

Maiden · 870 yd · Dirt

A short maiden field at 870 yards shaped around a dominant morning-line favorite, but the secondary horses offer some legitimate pace and class intrigue over this longer Quarter Horse distance.

win1ChikindoitML 2/5

Chikindoit is an overwhelming 2/5 morning line favorite and carries a perfect 90.0 TrackWiz rating — the highest possible — which tells you exactly how our model views this horse relative to the field. Trainer Luz Chavira teams with jockey Cordarelton J. Benn, and at 870 yards, stamina and stride efficiency matter more than raw gate speed. Barring a catastrophic trip or equipment issue, Chikindoit looks like a horse getting out of the gates and never being seriously challenged.

place4Gentleman 727ML 3/1

Gentleman 727 is an interesting overlay at 3/1 with a solid 64.09 TrackWiz rating, also trained by Luz Chavira — which means the same barn controls the top two horses in the race. Same-trainer connections can sometimes be a double-edged sword, but it also means Chavira knows exactly what Gentleman 727 can do relative to the favorite. He's the clear second horse in the barn and on the morning line, making him the logical place play in this five-horse field.

show5Destinyofthenile BcML 6/1

Destinyofthenile Bc draws the 5-hole at 6/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 59.14 under jockey Roman Cruz for trainer Bryan H. Calloway. In a short five-horse maiden field, the show spot gets filled more often than not, and Destinyofthenile Bc has enough of a rating edge over the remaining two horses to hold that spot comfortably. At 6/1 for a show ticket, there's genuine value here in exacta and trifecta construction.

Race 3

11:50 PM EDT

Claiming · 330 yd · Dirt

This 330-yard claimer features horses with actual race records and win percentages to dissect, creating a real handicapping puzzle — but one horse's rating towers over the field despite not being the morning line favorite.

win1Cecis Desert WonderML 4/1

Cecis Desert Wonder opens at 4/1 with a field-best TrackWiz rating of 85.62 and a 13% career win rate — respectable in the claiming ranks. Trainer Valerie Torres puts Jasten Pedraza up, and the combination of top model rating and a competitive win percentage in a six-horse claiming field makes this horse a strong win contender at a fair price. The 4/1 morning line actually offers some value given how much the ratings separate Desert Wonder from the field.

place2Jlc Simon Says RunML 3/1

Jlc Simon Says Run is the most accomplished horse in the race on paper, boasting a 38% career win rate — by far the best in the field and a number that screams consistent performer. Trainer Luz Chavira sends out Cordarelton J. Benn at 3/1, and while the TrackWiz rating of 74.04 trails our win pick, a horse winning 38% of its career starts is not easily dismissed. If Cecis Desert Wonder gets a tough trip, Simon Says Run has the tactical experience to pounce.

show3Mistery Ten FourML 12/1

Mistery Ten Four is our show pick at 12/1 — a legitimate value angle in this race. The TrackWiz rating of 58.64 puts him third in the field, and a 10% career win rate in the claiming ranks shows he can get to the wire in the money at times. Trainer Edward L. Webb and jockey Juan Arellano will need things to set up right, but at 12/1, Mistery Ten Four is worth including in trifecta tickets as a live longshot for the show spot.

We're opening the card with three free looks, and there's a clear theme: these early races are short, fast, and punishing to horses that break a step slow. In Race 1, Go Lady Bug (morning line 7/5, TrackWiz rating 89.42) is our top selection in the Maiden Claiming 250-yarder — a distance where there's simply no room for error. Race 2 stretches out to 870 yards in a Maiden event, and Chikindoit (2/5 ML, rating 90) tops our board as the standout on today's card — that 90 rating is the highest we're publishing all afternoon. Race 3 brings us a Claiming sprint at 330 yards, where Cecis Desert Wonder (4/1 ML, rating 85.62) shapes up as a legitimate value play at a price that's likely to drift down by post time.

The heat today could play into pace dynamics on these short sprints — horses breaking from inside posts with clean air will be at a premium. Keep that in mind as you handicap the free races, and watch the tote board for any late money that reinforces these selections.

Full Card Analysis

Race 4

12:15 AM EDT

Starter Allowance · 870 yd · Dirt

A competitive 870-yard starter allowance with three horses bunched tightly at the top of the TrackWiz ratings and a field where career win percentages tell meaningfully different stories.

win6LilmissmadeyalookML 7/2

Lilmissmadeyalook is our top pick at 7/2 morning line with the field's best TrackWiz rating of 86.35 and — critically — the best career win rate in this field at 25%. Trainer Samuel E. Valdivia puts up Cordarelton J. Benn, one of the busiest and most capable riders on the Fair Meadows circuit. At 870 yards, a horse that wins one-in-four starts with a top model rating and a strong tactical rider is exactly the profile you want heading into the longer quarter-mile distance.

place2Black WallstreetML 5/2

Black Wallstreet runs second on the TrackWiz model at 84.85 — just 1.5 points behind our top pick — and closes as the 5/2 morning line second choice. Trainer Samuel Mendoza and jockey Mario Delgado team up on this 13%-career-win horse who clearly has raw ability. The razor-thin rating gap between Black Wallstreet and Lilmissmadeyalook makes this a legitimate exacta battle, and backing Black Wallstreet underneath is a sound strategy.

show5Miraculous HeroML 4/1

Miraculous Hero checks in at 4/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 81.48 and the second-best career win rate in the field at 19%. Trainer Matt Whitekiller and jockey Cody Rodger Smith are a familiar Fair Meadows pairing, and a horse winning nearly one-in-five starts in the starter allowance ranks has shown it can compete. With three horses rated in the 80s, this race could easily produce a trifecta from that trio — Hero is well worth including in your exotics.

Race 5

12:40 AM EDT

Claiming · 350 yd · Dirt

A five-horse 350-yard claimer where the morning line favorite and the TrackWiz top-rated horse are two completely different horses — that kind of split is where sharp bettors look for value.

win1Cla Red EarthML 4/1

Cla Red Earth holds the top TrackWiz rating of 85.62 but opens at 4/1 — a notable disconnect from the 8/5 morning line chalk on Tiptoeing Tulip. Roman Cruz rides for trainer Gerardo Quinones-Sarmiento, and while Cla Red Earth's career win rate sits at 10%, the raw model edge here is significant. When our analysis identifies a horse rated nearly 27 points above the morning line favorite, that's the kind of value angle worth playing aggressively.

place5Can RunML 2/1

Can Run closes as the 2/1 second choice on the morning line with a TrackWiz rating of 63.11 — second-best in the field. Trainer Marti L. Rodriguez puts Cordarelton J. Benn up, and at 2/1, this is the horse the market seems most interested in behind the chalk. One caution flag: a 4% career win rate is notably low for a 2/1 morning line horse, suggesting Can Run has hit the board frequently without winning. That fits a classic place horse profile perfectly.

show3Tiptoeing TulipML 8/5

Tiptoeing Tulip is the 8/5 morning line favorite with a TrackWiz rating of 59.12 and an 11% career win percentage. Trainer Matt Whitekiller and jockey Cody Rodger Smith are a reliable pairing, and the public clearly respects this horse. Our model has Cla Red Earth rated well above the chalk, but Tiptoeing Tulip's favoritism in the market means she's a solid show safety — if she runs her race, she's finding a check.

Race 6

1:05 AM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 250 yd · Dirt

Seven first-time starters go at 250 yards in this maiden claiming sprint — no career records to lean on, so the morning line and model ratings do the heavy lifting, and the top two horses are surprisingly close.

win1BeauxreguardML 8/5

Beauxreguard draws the rail at 8/5 morning line with a TrackWiz rating of 59.0 — narrowly topping the field. Trainer Dee Keener and jockey Roman Cruz are a strong pairing on the Fair Meadows circuit, and the 8/5 morning line reflects genuine public confidence in a horse making its debut. At 250 yards, gate breaks are paramount, and the rail draw combined with Roman Cruz's tactical awareness gives Beauxreguard a meaningful edge in a race that will be decided in seconds.

place2Dangerous DjML 7/5

Dangerous Dj is installed as the 7/5 morning line second choice — actually shorter than our win pick — with a TrackWiz rating of 57.68. Trainer Jesus Ruben Ruiz and jockey Gonzalo Gutierrez team up on what figures to be a well-prepared first-timer. The fact that the market has Dangerous Dj at nearly even money suggests local knowledge supports this horse strongly, making the exacta between the top two a highly playable ticket.

show4Eagle On the LooseML 6/1

Eagle On the Loose breaks from the 4-hole at 6/1 with a rating of 51.67 under Antonio G. Perez for trainer Felesha Gold. In a maiden first-out race, that rating edge over the bottom half of the field is meaningful, and Felesha Gold has form with debut runners. At 6/1, Eagle On the Loose is the logical show play and worth including in trifecta tickets for anyone looking to go deeper in this race.

Race 7

1:30 AM EDT

Stakes · 350 yd · Dirt

The stakes race at 350 yards features the most compelling top-to-bottom handicapping puzzle on the card — a high-win-rate speedster, a dominant-rated class standout, and a morning line favorite who doesn't top the model.

win4Paint This RoseML 4/1

Paint This Rose carries the top TrackWiz rating in the field at 85.62 despite opening at 4/1 on the morning line — that's a meaningful value flag in a stakes race. Trainer Eddie D. Willis puts Jimmy Dean Brooks up, and with a 15% career win rate in a quality stakes field, this is a horse that has proven it can win at a high level. The rating gap between Paint This Rose and the rest of the field in a six-horse stakes is where our analysis sees the clearest edge.

place5Flying Nova 123ML 7/2

Flying Nova 123 is a fascinating profile at 7/2 — the field's highest career win percentage at 41% is genuinely eye-catching. Trainer Jesus Ruben Ruiz and jockey Roman Cruz combine on a horse who clearly knows how to get to the wire first, and a 41-win-rate horse in a stakes sprint at 350 yards deserves serious respect. Even with a lower model rating than our top pick, the raw win percentage data makes Flying Nova 123 a legitimate threat to steal this race.

show1Corona RelentlessML 3/1

Corona Relentless comes in at 3/1 morning line with a strong 33% career win rate and a TrackWiz rating of 69.51. Trainer Marla Dayana Vargas and jockey Jasten Pedraza team up on a horse that wins one-in-three starts — that's a legitimate stakes-level performer. The show position offers safety here, but don't overlook Corona Relentless in win exotics; the win percentage suggests this horse has a live shot at the top spot.

Race 8

1:55 AM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 300 yd · Dirt

A ten-horse maiden claiming field at 300 yards is the deepest race on the card today — all first-timers, wide variety of morning line prices, and two horses rated significantly above the pack.

win2Windy SweetsML 4/1

Windy Sweets draws the 2-hole and tops the entire field with a TrackWiz rating of 85.62 at 4/1 morning line — excellent value in a ten-horse field. Trainer Jesus Ruben Ruiz and jockey Roman Cruz are one of the hottest pairings at Fair Meadows throughout this meet, and combining their form with a top model rating in a big maiden field makes Windy Sweets the clear first choice. At 4/1 in a ten-horse field, there's real potential for a mutuel payoff worth chasing.

place1Before the StormML 5/1

Before the Storm runs second on the TrackWiz model at 74.77 and opens at 5/1 — giving bettors legitimate value on a horse that figures to be in the thick of the finish. Trainer Samuel Gaytan Jr. sends out Mario Delgado, and a 10-point rating gap over third-place Captains Dynasty suggests Before the Storm has a real ability edge on the rest of the field behind the top two picks. An exacta combining Windy Sweets and Before the Storm in both orders is worth serious consideration.

show5Captains DynastyML 7/2

Captains Dynasty sits third on the model at 63.11 with a 7/2 morning line — the market clearly likes this horse, and the rating supports the confidence. Trainer Guillermo Valdivia teams with jockey Rolando Raudales, and in a ten-horse field with a number of horses rated below 50, the gap between Captains Dynasty and the lower tier is significant. As a show play at a price that might drift even shorter on the tote, this is a solid exotics piece.

Race 9

2:20 AM EDT

Stakes · 350 yd · Dirt

The nightcap stakes race at 350 yards features an unusual mix of horses — some with 100% win rates (tiny samples, likely), others at zero — making the TrackWiz model's top-rated horse the clearest anchor in an otherwise noisy field.

win7Jk Triple DipML 3/1

Jk Triple Dip is our top pick at 3/1 with a commanding TrackWiz rating of 87.08 — the best in the field by over 29 points. Trainer Victor Ibarra sends out Mario Delgado, who is one of the most active riders on the Fair Meadows circuit, and a 25% career win rate in a stakes field is the mark of a legitimate performer. The combination of a dominant model rating, a capable jockey, and a reasonable morning line price makes Jk Triple Dip the anchor of any exotics tickets in this race.

place6Royal BloodlineML 7/2

Royal Bloodline draws the 6-hole at 7/2 with a TrackWiz rating of 55.83 and an impressive 50% career win rate. Trainer Samuel E. Valdivia teams with Roman Cruz — the same barn that has horses all over this card today — and a horse winning half its career starts in the stakes ranks is not one to take lightly. While the model doesn't rate Royal Bloodline near the top, raw win percentage data suggests a horse capable of sitting just off the pace and finishing hard at 350 yards.

show5G ViperML 4/1

G Viper opens at 4/1 with a 55.0 TrackWiz rating and a 50% career win rate, giving him a shared profile with Royal Bloodline but from the 5-hole under Gonzalo Gutierrez for trainer Kasey Willis. The 4/1 price on a 50%-career-win horse in a stakes race looks like fair value at minimum. Including G Viper in trifecta exotics alongside Jk Triple Dip and Royal Bloodline seems like the most logical structure for this race.

Race 10

2:45 AM EDT

Maiden · 330 yd · Dirt

Ten maiden first-timers go at 330 yards to close out the card — no career stats to lean on except for the model ratings, and one horse is rated nearly 20 points above the next-best runner.

win7Cowboy EckspressML 4/1

Cowboy Eckspress draws the 7-hole and tops the ten-horse field with a TrackWiz rating of 85.62 at 4/1 morning line. Trainer Victor Ibarra teams with Mario Delgado — the same combination anchoring our Race 9 pick — and back-to-back card appearances from a hot trainer-jockey duo in big fields is worth noting. In a ten-horse maiden race at 330 yards where most of the field rates well below 60, Cowboy Eckspress's rating edge is the most compelling number on the page.

place3Gold MedalistML 7/2

Gold Medalist sits second on the model at 65.22 with a 7/2 morning line under Aram S. Martinez for trainer Samuel E. Valdivia. The Valdivia barn is all over tonight's card, suggesting a barn that came to Fair Meadows loaded up and ready. At 7/2 in a ten-horse maiden field, Gold Medalist offers solid place value — the rating is well above the mid-pack, and with a capable jockey handling the trip, the board appears very reachable.

show4Aj On FireML 5/1

Aj On Fire draws the 4-hole at 5/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 60.69 — third-best in the field — under Jaime Mata for trainer Jorge L. Gonzalez. In a deep ten-horse maiden field where the bottom half of the field rates below 42, Aj On Fire's rating separates him from the chaos. At 5/1 as a show play, he's an excellent trifecta piece to round out tickets anchored by Cowboy Eckspress on top.
