Latest Fort Erie Free Picks
Fort Erie is not racing today. Below are the free picks from the last Fort Erie card, September 15, 2026.
Race 1
Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt
The morning line makes this look like a two-horse race, but TrackWiz ratings tell a slightly different story — Getting Ahead holds a real edge over the 8/5 favorite, and Shes Hot to Trot could complicate things at a juicy price.
Getting Ahead tops our TrackWiz ratings at 88.54, edging out every other horse in the field, and backs it up with a 17% career win rate that leads this group. Trainer Erin H. Rickman sends her out with Juan Crawford up, a sharp pairing to note. At 2/1 on the morning line, she's actually priced a little shorter than we'd like, but the numbers justify the confidence — this is the horse to beat over 6 furlongs on the dirt.
Shes Hot to Trot at 4/1 offers solid each-way appeal with a TrackWiz rating of 83.1, third-best in the field but close enough to matter. Steve Jadoo rides for trainer Julie Mathes, and while her career win rate sits at 8%, the rating suggests she's been running competitively — this is a horse that can sneak into the exacta at a price worth taking.
Rifling is the morning-line favorite at 8/5, and that kind of public support is hard to fully fade even when our ratings slot her third. She carries an 81.55 TrackWiz rating and a 15% career win mark, and Luis R. Reyes is a capable handler. If you're building exotics, she's a safe underneath piece, even if we think the top two have the edge.
Race 2
Maiden Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt
Maiden claiming sprints on the dirt can be volatile, but this one has a clear standout — Noyzee Girl dominates the TrackWiz ratings and goes postward as the heavy chalk in a field of first-time and lightly-raced runners.
Noyzee Girl is the class of this field by a wide margin, posting a 89.71 TrackWiz rating that towers over the next-best at 53.33. Trainer Roy George Agostino sends her out with Brian A. Cheyne aboard, and her average speed figure of 54 is tops in the race. Yes, she's 6/5 on the morning line, which compresses the win value, but in a maiden claimer this uneven, we're not looking for a reason to go against her.
Sociallyannalyzed is the logical backup at 5/1, holding a 53.33 rating that puts her clearly second in the TrackWiz standings. Kirk Johnson rides for Michael V. Cohen, and while her average speed of 50 trails the top horses, that rating gap could translate to a place finish at a price worth including in your horizontals. In a field where most runners are unproven, she represents the clearest value behind the favorite.
Seattle Rising checks in at a 49.4 TrackWiz rating, third in the field, and carries a 3/1 morning line that reflects her legitimate contention. Christoff Douglas gets the mount for Darren C. Glennon, and her average speed of 52 is respectable in this company. She's the kind of horse that keeps you honest in the trifecta — leave her underneath.
Race 3
Claiming · 1 mi · Turf
Eight horses go a mile on the turf, and while Little Red Domi heads the TrackWiz ratings convincingly, Delian League's 19% career win rate and Buttonwood Tree's sharp connections make this more than a one-horse show.
Little Red Domi sits atop our TrackWiz ratings at 87.08 in a field where the second-best horse checks in at 72.84 — that's meaningful separation. She also brings a 23% career win rate, tied for the best in the field, and Juan Crawford is one of the more reliable sticks at Fort Erie. At 3/1, she's fair value for a horse who clearly profiles as the top selection on a turf route.
Delian League is the most interesting underneath play in the race. A 19% career win rate is the second-highest in the field, and his 72.84 TrackWiz rating is a genuine threat to the top pick. Trainer Philip Hall sends him out with Prayven Badrie, and at 7/2, there's legitimate each-way value here — Delian League has the profile of a horse who runs a solid second or better.
Buttonwood Tree may be third in our ratings at 57.82, but her 18% career win percentage is one of the best in this field and deserves attention. Sofia Vives rides for Anthony Adamo, and the 5/2 morning line suggests the public respects her too. In a turf mile with pace complications from an eight-horse field, she's a solid underneath piece for trifecta purposes.
