It's a wet Wednesday at Assiniboia Downs as steady rain greets a seven-race card on June 3, 2026. The temperature is sitting at a mild 68°F, but don't let that fool you — with precipitation falling, that Assiniboia dirt is going to play differently than a typical fair-weather afternoon. Expect the track to come up good-to-sloppy, and factor in how horses have handled off-track conditions before you commit a dollar.

Today's card is a solid mix of claiming races, a pair of stakes events, and a couple of allowance optional claiming spots that always attract interesting horses trying to find their level. The two stakes races — Race 3 at 5½ furlongs and Race 6 at the same distance — give the afternoon a real pulse, and we've got strong opinions on both. Seven races, real money on the line, and TrackWiz has you covered from the first post to the nightcap.

Best Bets

Race 1

8:30 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

A 6-furlong dirt claimer with a clear top rating in Cumberland Falls, but 10-1 shot Not So Swift lurks as a dangerous second figure — don't overlook the price.

win2Cumberland FallsML 4/5

Cumberland Falls is the class of this field by TrackWiz ratings, posting an 81.59 — a clear margin over the competition. Trained by Tom Gardipy Jr. and piloted by Ronald Ali, this horse carries a 4/5 morning line that reflects genuine confidence from the market. With a 6% career win rate and an average speed figure of 53, the consistency is there, and at this level the rating edge should be enough to get the job done.

place5Not So SwiftML 10/1

Not So Swift is a fascinating overlay here — posted at 10/1 on the morning line yet boasting a TrackWiz rating of 76.88, which is second-best in the field by a significant margin. Damario Bynoe gets the call for trainer Tiffany Husbands, and while the horse doesn't have a win on the career ledger, that rating suggests strong efforts that simply haven't converted. At double-digit odds, this is exactly the kind of horse you want underneath in exactas and trifectas.

show4She's So CroatianML 4/1

She's So Croatian draws the 4 post for Javaniel Patterson and trainer Wendy Anderson, carrying a 4/1 morning line that makes her a reasonable show option in a five-horse field. Her 48.54 rating and 6% career win rate are modest, but she matches Cumberland Falls on average speed at 53. If the top two engage in any early pace duel, she could be running into a slot at the wire.

Race 2

9:00 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Peterson Landing dominates the TrackWiz ratings at 90.0, but the pace setup with multiple speed horses could set things up for the closers — She's My Niece and Wings of a Sparrow both have credentials to run into the exacta.

win4Peterson LandingML EVN

Peterson Landing is a standout at the top of this field with a TrackWiz rating of 90 — the highest in any race on today's card. Trained by Keith Pedersen and ridden by Antonio Whitehall, this horse has a 14% career win rate and the highest average speed figure in the field at 54. The even-money morning line is justified, and TrackWiz analysis points to this as one of the stronger win plays on the entire card.

place2She's My NieceML 2/1

She's My Niece draws the 2 post for Rachaad Knights and trainer William Tourangeau, going off at 2/1 with a solid 63.77 TrackWiz rating — second-best in the field. Her 11% career win rate and 54 average speed figure match the top horses on raw pace, and a clean trip from the inside post could keep her in contention throughout. If Peterson Landing hits any trouble, she's positioned to capitalize.

show1Wings of a SparrowML 3/1

Wings of a Sparrow brings a 21% career win rate to the table — the best strike rate in this field — and that's not a number to dismiss. Trained by Steven Gaskin with Tyrone Nelson in the irons, this one goes at 3/1 with a 50.68 rating. The win percentage suggests a horse that shows up when conditions are right, and a clean trip from the rail could put her in the show spot at minimum.

The first three races are open to all TrackWiz readers, and honestly, this is a nice little free sample of what the full card looks like. Cumberland Falls opens the day as a heavy 4/5 morning-line favorite in a six-furlong claiming sprint — that kind of short price demands respect but also invites questions on a wet track. Peterson Landing in Race 2 jumps off the page with a 90.0 TrackWiz rating while posted at even money, making it one of the stronger free plays on the card. Then comes the first stakes of the day in Race 3, where Wecanonlyimagine — love that name — comes in at 5/2 with an 87.81 rating in a 5½-furlong dirt stakes. The rain is the wild card tying these three together: if the track plays to a speed bias early, horses with clean gate speed like these top picks get an extra edge. Watch the first couple of races to see how the strip is playing before diving deeper.

Full Card Analysis

Race 3

9:25 PM EDT

Stakes · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A 5-horse stakes sprint that features a massive upset brewing — the 4/5 morning-line favorite Evolution is getting significantly outrated by Wecanonlyimagine, who owns a jaw-dropping 75% career win rate.

win5WecanonlyimagineML 5/2

Wecanonlyimagine is the top-rated horse in this stakes field at 87.81, and the career numbers back that up emphatically — a 75% career win rate is simply extraordinary at any level of racing. Trained by Jared Brown and ridden by Neville Stephenson, this horse goes off at 5/2 despite owning a massive rating edge over the even-money favorite. That's the definition of value in a stakes race, and TrackWiz analysis makes this the strongest pick of the early card.

place3Tap the ParlayML 6/1

Tap the Parlay is a serious threat here at 6/1, posting a 73.46 TrackWiz rating and a 50% career win rate that puts him firmly in the contender class. Trainer Michael Nault sends out Javaniel Patterson, and the horse's rate of success suggests he doesn't run in races he can't win. If Wecanonlyimagine draws any trouble, Tap the Parlay is right there to swoop up the exacta spot.

show2Witt's Lil RingerML 5/1

Witt's Lil Ringer is worth including in trifectas at 5/1, holding a 68.76 TrackWiz rating and a 33% career win rate that speaks to genuine ability. Rachaad Knights picks up the mount for trainer Jerry Gourneau, and matching the top horses on average speed at 54 means this horse isn't outclassed on raw pace. A place or show finish is a realistic expectation.

Race 4

9:50 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt

A full seven-furlong allowance optional claimer with two horses bunched near the top of the TrackWiz ratings — Nu Soup for Baby and Chief Brady are on a collision course, and the rest of the field is playing for show.

win4Nu Soup for BabyML 3/1

Nu Soup for Baby heads TrackWiz analysis as the top-rated horse in this field at 87.08, posting the highest figure in the race while going off at a generous 3/1 morning line. Arthur Budhu gets the mount for trainer Brian Phillips, and the 15% career win rate on a horse at this level reflects competitive form. With an average speed figure of 53, this horse has the engine to handle seven furlongs on dirt and projects as the most complete runner in the field.

place3Chief BradyML EVN

Chief Brady is the morning-line favorite at EVN and the second-highest-rated horse at 82.82, which sets up a natural top two. Trainer Jerry Gourneau doubles up in this race with Ells as well, but Chief Brady gets the stronger jockey call in Antonio Whitehall and the better rating. A 15% career win rate and a 54 average speed figure — the best in the race — give this horse every tool to run a big number at the distance.

show1Golden BuckML 4/1

Golden Buck draws the 1 post for Tyrone Nelson and Tom Gardipy Jr., and at 4/1 with a 74.14 TrackWiz rating, he's the third wheel in what looks like a 1-2-3 situation. His 17% career win rate is modest but workmanlike, and a clean trip from the inside post in a seven-furlong race could keep him on the pace long enough to hang on for the show spot. Solid trifecta inclusion at a fair price.

Race 5

10:15 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Eight horses line up in this six-furlong allowance optional claimer, and while Wico leads on ratings, My Wife Is Right's top average speed figure and Trulli Warrior's morning-line backing make this a genuinely competitive affair.

win7WicoML 3/1

Wico is the TrackWiz top pick here with an 87.08 rating — tied for the highest on today's card — and gets the advantage of Antonio Whitehall, one of the busier riders at this meet. Trained by Jared Brown, who also saddles Lab Rat in this race, Wico posts a 54 average speed figure and goes off at 3/1. The rating gap over the morning-line favorite Trulli Warrior (77.8) is meaningful, and TrackWiz analysis favors this as a strong win play.

place5Trulli WarriorML 2/1

Trulli Warrior is the 2/1 morning-line choice, giving Mathew Bennett a live mount for trainer Devon Gittens. The 77.8 TrackWiz rating is second in the field and the 15% career win rate on a horse facing allowance optional claiming conditions suggests this is a horse finding its proper level. An average speed figure of 53 is competitive, and the public support at 2/1 reflects real form — this horse belongs in exacta combinations underneath Wico.

show3RhodesiaML 5/1

Rhodesia draws the 3 post for Rachaad Knights and trainer Monique Goulet, posting a 75.1 TrackWiz rating that makes her the third-best figure in the race. A 21% career win rate is encouraging for show purposes, and matching Wico on average speed at 54 means she won't be outpaced early. At 5/1, she offers real value as a trifecta anchor in a race where the top three by rating are reasonably well-separated from the rest.

Race 6

10:40 PM EDT

Stakes · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

The second stakes sprint of the card features a morning-line favorite in Emirates Affair who is getting outrated — Welcometohollywood leads the TrackWiz figures and brings a 35% career win rate that demands respect at 9/2.

win2WelcometohollywoodML 9/2

Welcometohollywood posts the top TrackWiz rating in this eight-horse stakes field at 84.9, and the 35% career win rate is the second-best in the race — this is a horse that knows how to win. Trainer Jared Brown sends out Damario Bynoe, and despite a modest 52 average speed figure for the 5.5-furlong sprint, the combination of career success rate and TrackWiz analysis points here. At 9/2, there's genuine overlay value against the 3/2 morning-line favorite Emirates Affair.

place5Emirates AffairML 3/2

Emirates Affair is the public choice at 3/2, carrying a 78.17 TrackWiz rating for trainer Steve Keplin Jr. and Sven Balroop. A 24% career win rate and 54 average speed figure — joint-best in the field — show this horse has the raw pace to compete in a five-and-a-half furlong stakes. The rating gap between this horse and the TrackWiz top pick is real, but at 3/2 with legitimate speed, a place check looks like a solid expectation.

show4OlgaML 10/1

Olga is a legitimate sleeper at 10/1, posting a 75.12 TrackWiz rating that makes her the third-best figure in the race — yet she's dismissed by the morning line. Shavon Townsend rides for Jason Homer, and a 19% career win rate with a 53 average speed figure puts this mare squarely in the mix at these odds. In an eight-horse field, she represents excellent trifecta value, especially if the top two horses get tangled up on the front end.

Race 7

11:05 PM EDT

Claiming · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

Flying Tex is the 7/5 morning-line hammer in this 5.5-furlong claimer, but Conspiracytheorist's TrackWiz rating of 86.35 blows that favorite out of the water — this could be the best value play of the night.

win6ConspiracytheoristML 7/2

Conspiracytheorist lands the top TrackWiz rating in this field at 86.35 and yet goes off at 7/2 morning line while the public gravitates toward Flying Tex at 7/5. Damario Bynoe picks up the mount for trainer Wendy Anderson, and a 16% career win rate shows this horse can convert. The rating edge over the 7/5 favorite — who checks in at just 51.57 — is the widest favorite-vs-top-pick gap of any race on today's card, making this arguably the best win value play all day.

place5He Likes WinningML 6/1

He Likes Winning brings a 59.58 TrackWiz rating to the table — third-best in the race — and goes off at a fair 6/1 with Rachaad Knights in the saddle for trainer Craig Robert Smith. A 9% career win rate is modest, but the 53 average speed figure edges out the morning-line favorite on raw pace. At 6/1 in a wide-open second tier, this horse deserves a place spot in exactas underneath Conspiracytheorist.

show8Flying TexML 7/5

Flying Tex is the crowd favorite at 7/5, but a TrackWiz rating of 51.57 is difficult to square with that kind of public support. Sheldon Chickeness rides for Jerry Gourneau, who has a sizable presence throughout today's card. The 8% career win rate and 52 average speed figure are functional but unspectacular, and TrackWiz analysis has this horse third in the hierarchy behind Conspiracytheorist and He Likes Winning — show coverage is where the value lies on Flying Tex.
