Woodbine Picks & Predictions — June 13, 2026

Saturday, June 13, 202611 racesWoodbine

It's a perfect Saturday at Woodbine — clear skies, 81°F, and the kind of firm, consistent footing that rewards speed figures and makes pace scenarios easier to project. Eleven races are on the board today, split across dirt and turf, ranging from maiden special weights to optional claimers.

The card has a little bit of everything. We've got maiden sprints on the dirt, a pair of turf routes that should draw grass lovers, and a mid-card claiming stretch that sets up some interesting multi-race sequences. With conditions this clean, early speed could be a factor on the dirt — keep that in mind as you build your tickets.

Our TrackWiz ratings cover all 11 races, and the numbers surfaced a few compelling angles today — including a longshot in Race 10 carrying an 8/1 morning line that our model genuinely likes. More on that below.

Best Bets

Race 1

5:00 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Two horses sit clearly above the field on TrackWiz ratings, setting up a likely match race at the top — but a sneaky 8/1 shot could crash the party in this 6-furlong dirt claimer.

win6Rock Hard RoseML 2/1

Rock Hard Rose tops our ratings at 88.54 and draws the morning-line favoritism at 2/1, which tells you the market agrees with us. Emma-Jayne Wilson is one of Woodbine's sharpest riders and keeps this horse in good hands. With a 16% career win rate in a relatively modest claiming field, Rock Hard Rose has the class profile to handle these rivals. The combination of top rating and fair price makes this our best bet in Race 1.

place5Genius of LoveML 5/2

Genius of Love is the other half of this two-horse battle, carrying a TrackWiz rating of 86.45 — just a whisker behind our top choice. A 29% career win rate is genuinely impressive at this level, and Xarel Forde gives the horse a capable pilot. If Rock Hard Rose has any trouble getting clear, Genius of Love is right there to capitalize.

show3Forest BML 8/1

Forest B is the longshot angle worth stacking into your exotics at 8/1 morning line. A 16% career win rate matches the favorite's, and a rating of 62.06 puts Forest B well clear of the rest of the supporting cast. Trainer Dale A. Powell saddles a horse that could easily outrun that price and hit the board in a three-horse photo.

Race 2

5:29 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

King Rosso draws morning-line favoritism on the turf but faces a deep 9-horse field where several closers lurk at generous prices — pace could be the story over 1 1/16 miles.

win4King RossoML 2/1

King Rosso leads our ratings at 80.38 and is the 2/1 morning-line choice under trainer Kevin Attard, who is one of Woodbine's most consistent conditioners. Pietro Moran gets the call, and the combination of top rating and proven connections makes this a solid win selection. The 1 1/16-mile turf distance suits horses who can relax and finish, and King Rosso's profile fits that mold.

place9British ArtilleryML 4/1

British Artillery comes in at a 78.83 rating with Daisuke Fukumoto aboard for trainer Barbara J. Minshall. At 4/1 on the morning line, there's real value here — this horse is statistically within a nose of our top pick. Minshall has a reputation for placing horses well, and if the pace scenario sets up for closers, British Artillery is ideally positioned.

show5Motion GrantedML 5/2

Motion Granted hits the board at 5/2 as the third choice, and a TrackWiz rating of 76.92 backs that pricing up. David Moran rides for Nathan Squires, and the horse brings a competitive speed profile to the turf route. Including Motion Granted in exacta and trifecta coverage makes sense given the tight rating cluster at the top.

Race 3

5:59 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A wide-open maiden sprint on dirt where none of the six have won a race — ratings are bunched tight at the top and the morning line offers very little separation, making this a handicapper's puzzle.

win3MarchML 2/1

March tops our maiden ratings at 58.33 and is the 2/1 morning-line choice with Rafael Manuel Hernandez up for trainer Mark E. Casse — and Casse's record with first-time and lightly-raced maidens at Woodbine is worth noting. The horse doesn't show a prior speed figure, which means the book is still being written, but Casse routinely sends out well-prepared first-timers. Trust the connections here.

place2BandolierML 5/2

Bandolier posts a 57.5 rating and has an average speed figure of 55 to show for its career work — the only real distinguishing stat in what is a very tight top tier. Romero Ramsay Maragh is a high-percentage rider who keeps horses out of trouble in short-field sprints. At 5/2, Bandolier is fairly priced and offers the safety of prior racecourse experience.

show1Classic LinesML 3/1

Classic Lines rounds out our top three at a 56.67 rating and 3/1 on the morning line, with Pietro Moran handling the riding duties for Gail Cox. No prior speed figure on record means we're projecting off workouts and trainer form, but the rating suggests the horse belongs at the top of this field. A place or show finish at 3/1 offers decent overlay potential in exotics.

We're opening up three races to everyone today — Races 1, 2, and 3. Rock Hard Rose leads our free picks with the highest rating of the trio at 88.54, going 6 furlongs on the dirt in Race 1. On a clear, fast day like today, a horse with her profile in a sprint can exploit a pace mismatch early. King Rosso figures to handle the 1 1/16-mile turf route in Race 2 — firm turf on a warm afternoon is exactly the setup grass runners want. And in the Race 3 maiden sprint, March earns the top spot despite a more modest rating; maiden races carry more uncertainty by nature, but our model sees enough here to make March the play at 2/1 on the morning line.

One thread connecting all three: today's weather sets up a consistent, reliable playing surface across both dirt and turf. No pace-scrambling slop, no soft turf to complicate things — just honest footing and honest times. That tends to reward the horses our ratings favor.

Full Card Analysis

Race 4

6:29 PM EDT

Maiden Optional Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

That's a Fact looks like a class standout in this maiden optional claiming field — the rating gap between the top pick and the rest of the field is one of the biggest separations on today's card.

win4That's a FactML 5/2

That's a Fact posts a dominant TrackWiz rating of 87.81 in a field where the next-best horse checks in at 59.33 — a gap of nearly 28 points is substantial. Eswan Flores takes the mount for trainer Nicholas Nosowenko, and at 5/2 on the morning line, there's still some value left for what looks like the clear top choice. In a maiden optional claiming event at 6 1/2 furlongs on dirt, a horse with this rating advantage has every reason to go straight to the front and never look back.

place2Mighty TannerML 2/1

Mighty Tanner is the morning-line second choice at 2/1 with Rafael Manuel Hernandez in the irons for the Kevin Attard barn. A 59.33 rating and average speed figure of 53 make this the most credible threat to the top pick. Attard has a sharp eye for placing young horses correctly, and Mighty Tanner figures to be running for second at worst.

show5Beau PinkML 7/2

Beau Pink rates third in the field at 55.83 and is listed at 7/2 on the morning line for trainer Denyse McClachrie. Jeffrey Ian Alderson has ridden this horse and knows the way around. The average speed figure of 54 slots right in with the top tier, and including Beau Pink in your trifecta underneath the top two looks like reasonable coverage.

Race 5

6:59 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Dirt

Ninja Star heads our ratings but goes off at 9/2 — below the morning-line favorite — creating a potential overlay situation in this 1 1/16-mile dirt claimer with real depth throughout.

win3Ninja StarML 9/2

Ninja Star rates 84.90 — the top mark in this field — and carries a 21% career win rate that indicates a horse who consistently fires. Jose Luis Campos rides for Steven Chircop, a trainer who knows how to spot horses in spots they can handle. The 9/2 morning line is generous for a horse leading the field on both rating and career win percentage, and this looks like a genuine overlay worth targeting.

place5GrandsonML 2/1

Grandson is the morning-line favorite at 2/1 under Rafael Manuel Hernandez for Katerina Vassilieva, with a rating of 78.34 and a 12% career win mark. The public will make this horse the chalk, so you're not getting value on the win, but Grandson's profile makes it a safe place bet underneath our top selection. The distance of 1 1/16 miles on dirt suits a horse that can press or stalk the pace.

show1Proud RoninML 6/1

Proud Ronin opens at 6/1 and sports a TrackWiz rating of 75.51 — meaningfully ahead of the bottom half of the field. An 11% career win rate in claiming company is workmanlike, and Kemaire Blackett is capable of getting the most from a horse at longer prices. Proud Ronin is the kind of horse who can slip into a three-way photo at a price that boosts your trifecta return significantly.

Race 6

7:29 PM EDT

Claiming · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

Might Bee Trouble heads our sheet but opens at 6/1 — well above the morning-line favorite Cayenne Kiss — making this a race where the top-rated horse and the chalk are clearly different animals.

win8Might Bee TroubleML 6/1

Might Bee Trouble tops this 5 1/2-furlong dirt claiming field with a rating of 82.71 and a 20% career win rate — competitive numbers for this level. Daisuke Fukumoto picks up the mount for trainer Robert P. Tiller, one of the more reliable claiming trainers at Woodbine. The 6/1 morning line is where the value lives — our top-rated horse going off at more than twice the price of the morning-line favorite is the kind of angle TrackWiz analysis is built to find.

place6CitoriML 5/2

Citori opens at 5/2 for trainer Kevin Whiteley with Pietro Moran in the irons, carrying a solid 71.56 rating and a 22% career win rate. That win percentage is one of the better figures in the field and speaks to a horse that fires consistently. Citori profiles as a pressing type who should be right in the mix late at this short sprint distance.

show3Cayenne KissML 2/1

Cayenne Kiss is the 2/1 morning-line choice with a 40% career win rate — one of the highest on the card today — and Prayven Badrie aboard for William Tharrenos. The 57.6 rating trails our top two picks considerably, but that career win percentage demands respect and keeps this horse firmly in the exotic picture. Don't throw out the chalk entirely — just don't make it your top selection.

Race 7

7:59 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

Dyna dominates the maiden turf route on ratings but faces a wide-open 10-horse field where several first-time starters and lightly-raced horses make this an unpredictable affair.

win6DynaML 3/1

Dyna posts a field-best rating of 87.08 — more than 20 points clear of the next-best runner — and opens at 3/1 for trainer Kevin Attard with Pietro Moran in the saddle. Attard is consistently strong with lightly-raced turf horses at Woodbine, and this pairing of a top barn with one of the track's go-to riders is hard to fade. In a maiden turf route, a horse this far ahead on our ratings with connections of this quality is a confident top selection.

place9Scotch MistML 6/1

Scotch Mist rates 66.52 and is 6/1 on the morning line for trainer Donald C. MacRae, with Daisuke Fukumoto up. That rating puts Scotch Mist in a solid second tier well clear of the chalk-priced longshots in this field. The 6/1 price adds legitimate value, and a horse with prior turf experience — evidenced by a recorded average speed figure — offers more predictability than the first-timers clogging the bottom of this card.

show10MajazML 5/2

Majaz checks in at 57.5 for the powerful Mark E. Casse barn, with Rafael Manuel Hernandez taking the mount. Casse's operation is always worth noting with maidens, particularly on turf, where his horses tend to be well-schooled. No prior speed figure means Majaz is an unknown quantity, but the trainer angle and jockey booking at 5/2 make this a legitimate show-ticket inclusion.

Race 8

8:29 PM EDT

Optional Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt

Bold Ripasso goes off as a heavy 6/5 morning-line favorite and looks the part on ratings — this one sets up as a vulnerable favorite situation only if the pace scenario creates chaos in the stretch.

win3Bold RipassoML 6/5

Bold Ripasso dominates this optional claiming field with a rating of 89.71 — the highest mark of any horse on today's entire card — and carries a 20% career win rate. Pietro Moran handles the riding duties for Donald C. MacRae, a combination that functions well at Woodbine. Yes, 6/5 isn't exciting from a value standpoint, but when a horse leads the field by 24 rating points, you sometimes just have to take the price and move on.

place6Hymn to HerML 4/1

Hymn to Her opens at 4/1 for trainer Julia Carey with Ryan Munger up, rating at 65.46 in a field where the second tier is well separated from the top. The 4/1 morning line offers genuine place-bet value for a horse that is clearly the second-best on our numbers. Munger has shown the ability to get horses to finish on Woodbine's dirt strip, and Hymn to Her should be in the mix for a piece.

show7Just MagnificentML 3/1

Just Magnificent rates 52.88 and is listed at 3/1 morning line, sitting in an interesting spot where the public price may compress due to the top horse's dominance. David Moran handles the assignment for trainer Evette Chartrand-Hoek. If Bold Ripasso stumbles or the pace gets messy, Just Magnificent's 7% career win rate at this optional claiming level still gives it a puncher's chance at a show check.

Race 9

9:01 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

Thank You India heads a loaded 10-horse allowance optional claiming field, but Xarabella at double-digit odds offers a sneaky value angle at 6 1/2 furlongs on dirt.

win4Thank You IndiaML 3/1

Thank You India tops the field with an 87.08 rating and owns a 25% career win rate — a strong figure in allowance company that signals a horse used to competing at this level and winning. Rafael Manuel Hernandez gets the call for the Kevin Attard stable, and this is one of the more reliable trainer-jockey combos at Woodbine when the horse is pointing toward the top of the field. The 3/1 morning line is fair for what looks like a clear class edge.

place10Orion BeachML 4/1

Orion Beach rates 67.54 and opens at 4/1 for Catherine Day Phillips with Jose Luis Campos aboard. A 16% career win rate in allowance company suggests this horse has earned its place in this field legitimately. Phillips does well with horses at route distances, and Orion Beach's average speed figure of 55 is competitive — this one should be running hard into the stretch.

show1XarabellaML 10/1

Xarabella is an intriguing show play at 10/1 morning line, carrying a rating of 65.89 and an average speed figure of 55 that matches the place pick. David Moran rides for Michael P. De Paulo, and a 14% career win rate in allowance-level fields is nothing to dismiss. At double-digit odds, Xarabella provides real exotic leverage — the type of horse that turns a $2 trifecta into something meaningful.

Race 10

9:33 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

Pierre heads our ratings in this turf allowance optional claimer but opens at 8/1 — well beneath the market's 5/2 morning-line choice — setting up one of the best overlay opportunities on today's card.

win8PierreML 8/1

Pierre tops this 10-horse turf field with a rating of 79.79 and a 17% career win rate, yet the public has this horse at 8/1 while preferring English Actor at 5/2. Pietro Moran — one of Woodbine's leading riders — picks up the mount for the Kevin Attard barn, and Attard has shown consistent success routing horses on Woodbine's turf course. Getting the top-rated horse at more than three times the morning-line favorite's price is the definition of an overlay, and TrackWiz analysis flags this as a strong value play.

place7English ActorML 5/2

English Actor opens as the public's choice at 5/2 with Romero Ramsay Maragh up for trainer Rachel Halden, sporting a rating of 68.75 and a 20% career win rate. Those are honest numbers that explain the market support, and Maragh is a dangerous rider when horses are pointed at the right spot. English Actor profiles as the horse that will determine the pace shape and should be finishing well — a place bet at 5/2 is reasonable.

show3Cairo CaperML 7/2

Cairo Caper rates 67.29 with an average speed figure of 57 — the highest in the field — and opens at 7/2 for Nathan Squires with Jose Luis Campos riding. That 57 average speed figure stands out in a field where most horses are clustered around 53-55, suggesting Cairo Caper has already run competitive numbers against this class. A show ticket here adds depth to your exotic plays and covers a legitimate third option.

Race 11

10:05 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 1/16 mi · Dirt

Pepper Patch leads this sprawling 12-horse maiden field on ratings but faces a pair of intriguing hidden-value horses in Ashlee B and Just in Touch who could outrun their morning lines significantly.

win4Pepper PatchML 4/1

Pepper Patch rates 83.11 — the top mark in a deep maiden field — and opens at 4/1 for trainer Catherine Day Phillips with Austin Adams in the irons. An average speed figure of 54 gives the horse a tangible benchmark to build from, and Phillips has a strong track record developing staying maidens on Woodbine's dirt course. In a 12-horse field, having the top rating and a reasonable price makes Pepper Patch the anchor of any exotic play.

place6Ashlee BML 12/1

Ashlee B is the most interesting play in this race at 12/1 morning line, carrying a rating of 73.96 — second-best in the field and well clear of most of the competition. Luis Contreras picks up the mount for Patrick Dixon, and Contreras is one of those riders who has a knack for getting the most from horses at longer prices. An average speed figure of 52 might look modest, but a rating nearly 25 points ahead of the midfield horses suggests Ashlee B is significantly undervalued by the morning-line odds.

show2Just in TouchML 6/1

Just in Touch rates 72.71 for trainer Rachel Halden with Romero Ramsay Maragh in the saddle, and at 6/1 morning line, this is the most reasonably priced of our top three. An average speed figure of 53 is competitive in this maiden field, and Maragh is the type of rider connections call when they think they have a live horse. Just in Touch looks like a horse capable of earning a check, and trifecta players should include it deep.
