Happy September, track fans. Assiniboia kicks off the fall stretch with a crisp 7-race Tuesday card under partly cloudy skies and a comfortable 71°F. Conditions look ideal for dirt racing — no weather concerns to muddy the pace scenarios, and the track should be playing fair all afternoon.

The card spans the full spectrum: maiden claimers looking for their first ticket to the winner's circle, a Stakes feature that figures to draw some genuine interest, and a handful of claiming races where class drops and hot trainer angles can mean serious value. In other words, there's something for every kind of player today.

Our TrackWiz models have rated all seven races, and a few numbers jumped off the page — including a pair of premium-race picks with ratings north of 87 that deserve your full attention before you build your tickets.

Best Bets

Race 1

8:30 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

A maiden claiming sprint where TrackWiz's model identifies a clear top choice, but a trio of contenders are bunched tight enough to make the exotics interesting.

win2Point MaidML 7/5

Point Maid draws the 2-hole for Rashawn Brewster and owns the top TrackWiz rating in this field at 89.42 — a full 18 points clear of the next rival. Her average speed figure of 52 ties for the field's best, and the morning line of 7/5 suggests the market agrees she's the one to beat. In a maiden field where no horse has broken their duck yet, that kind of rating separation is meaningful.

place5CloudsinmycoffeeML 5/2

Cloudsinmycoffee sits third in the TrackWiz rankings at 70.91 and comes in at a fair 5/2 on the morning line. Jockey Javaniel R. Patterson gets the call for trainer Tiffany Husbands, and while her average speed of 50 is modest, she rates as a logical threat to fill the exacta slot if Point Maid handles the front end.

show4Known to BeML 9/5

Known to Be (4) checks in with a 58.67 rating and matches Point Maid's average speed figure of 52 — which is quietly the best in the field on that metric. Renaldo Cumberbatch aboard for trainer Lise Pruitt gives her a capable pilot, and at 9/5 morning line odds she's a reasonable show anchor in your exacta and trifecta tickets.

Race 2

9:00 PM EDT

Stakes · 1 1/8 mi · Dirt

This stakes test at 1 1/8 miles features two horses with legitimate win percentages squaring off against each other, and trainer Lise Pruitt has both the top two choices — a potential stable advantage worth noting.

win4BromeoML 7/5

Bromeo carries the top TrackWiz rating of 89.42 and a 40% career win rate, both elite marks in this field. Sven Balroop gets the mount for trainer Lise Pruitt, and at 7/5 on the morning line, the market has clearly zeroed in on him. The 1 1/8-mile route should test pace duelers, but a 40% career win rate signals he knows how to finish the job.

place5Silver SpicedML 9/5

Stablemate Silver Spiced comes in at 83.03 on the TrackWiz scale — not far behind Bromeo — and Renaldo Cumberbatch gives her a strong pilot. A 12% career win rate is lower than Bromeo's, but she's clearly capable of mixing it up at this level, and the 9/5 morning line reflects her legitimate shot at the runner-up slot.

show1Mighty MikeeML 2/1

Mighty Mikee (1) is the only other horse in this field with a meaningful career win percentage — 42%, which actually leads the field. Trainer Devon Gittens sends him out with Rashawn Brewster at 2/1, and that win rate hints at a horse who finds ways to compete. He's a strong show ticket and worth considering in trifecta combinations behind the Pruitt pair.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 5 runners

We're opening three races to all readers today, and they tell a nice story about how the card might play. Point Maid draws our eye in Race 1, a maiden claimer going 6 furlongs — she carries our highest free-race rating and should set or press a manageable pace on a surface that tends to reward pace-pressing types when conditions are this clean. In Race 2, the Stakes at 1 1/8 miles, Bromeo is the one to beat at 7/5 on the morning line. Stakes races at smaller tracks can be sneaky-thin fields, so that morning line price could tighten fast — if you like him, early action is the move. Then in Race 3, Maximum Uproar draws our top nod in the 5-furlong MSW (Maiden Special Weight — the conditions reserved for horses that have never won and aren't entered for a claiming price), though a softer TrackWiz rating of 59 tells you this is a wide-open race that could produce a price.

The consistent thread across the free picks: all three are dirt races in the 5-to-6 furlong or classic route range, and on a day with no rain in the forecast and a firm-playing surface, front speed figures to get every opportunity. Keep that pace bias in mind as you work through the full card.

Full Card Analysis

Race 3

9:25 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 fur · Dirt

A wide-open maiden special weight sprint at five furlongs where two first-time starters without speed figures add chaos to an already competitive field — pace could be the deciding factor.

win1Maximum UproarML 7/5

Maximum Uproar breaks from the rail with the top TrackWiz rating in the field at 59.33 and an average speed figure of 52. Trainer Keith Pedersen sends him out with Antonio Whitehall, and at 7/5 on the morning line, he's the narrow choice in a race where margins are thin. The five-furlong distance rewards horses who can grab early position, and breaking from the 1-hole puts him in a prime spot to do just that.

place3Express ZipML 3/1

Express Zip slots in at 56.67 on the TrackWiz scale — just a tick below Maximum Uproar — and also carries an average speed of 52. Neville Stephenson rides for trainer Jason Homer at a fair 3/1, and in a sprint this short, a horse with a legitimate speed figure could easily steal the exacta if Maximum Uproar gets any trouble out of the gate.

show6She's a ManeaterML 4/1

She's a Maneater (6) rates 55.00 on TrackWiz and also shows an average speed of 52, matching the top contenders on that metric. Damario Bynoe takes the mount for trainer Jared Brown at 4/1, and she slots in as a natural show inclusion — her figures are close enough to the top two that a clean trip could earn her a piece of this.

Race 4

9:50 PM EDT

Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Dirt

Two closely rated TrackWiz horses at the top of a claiming field at an unusual 7.5-furlong distance, with a handful of live longshots underneath that make the trifecta tricky to construct.

win1Sherlyn Go GoML 5/2

Sherlyn Go Go tops the TrackWiz rankings at 87.81 and brings a strong 26% career win rate — the highest among the top-rated horses in this field. Kerron Khelawan picks up the mount for trainer Wendy Anderson, and at 5/2 on the morning line, she offers real value relative to her rating. The 7.5-furlong distance is a unique test, and a horse with her win percentage tends to find ways to be competitive late.

place2Peterson LandingML 7/2

Peterson Landing is right on Sherlyn's heels with an 86.35 TrackWiz rating — a gap of less than two points separating the top two. Antonio Whitehall rides for trainer Michael Nault at 7/2, and while his 14% career win rate is more modest, his form metrics suggest he's capable of pressuring the top choice throughout. He's a natural place play if the 1-post gives Sherlyn any early advantage.

show3Princess AleskaML 5/1

Princess Aleska (3) drops to a 45.52 rating but shows a 22% career win rate — the second-best in the full field. Javaniel R. Patterson takes the mount for trainer Robert Maybin at 5/1, and that win percentage suggests she's been a consistent competitor at this level. She's worth placing underneath the top pair in your trifecta.

Race 5

10:15 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

An allowance optional claiming field at six furlongs where TrackWiz's top-rated runner faces a deeper, more experienced group than it might appear at first glance — and a pair of value horses underneath could steal the exotics.

win3Prime SuspectML 9/5

Prime Suspect sits atop the TrackWiz rankings at 88.83 — the highest rating in the field by a comfortable margin — and posts an average speed figure of 53 to go with a 21% career win rate. Sven Balroop gets the call for trainer Lise Pruitt, a powerful combination at Assiniboia. At 9/5 on the morning line, he's the clear top choice and our TrackWiz analysis puts him as the most likely winner in this spot.

place7CeepeegeeML 5/2

Ceepeegee (7) rates 76.78 on the TrackWiz scale — second in the field — and posts an average speed of 54, which is the best in the race. Antonio Whitehall rides for trainer Jared Brown at 5/2, and that top speed figure hints at a horse who can sustain a strong late run at six furlongs. He's a natural place play and worth anchoring underneath Prime Suspect in exactas.

show6Calming ForceML 12/1

Calming Force (6) is the most intriguing show play on the card here — a 12/1 morning line price with a 36% career win rate that's second only to Medicine Dog's 40% in this field. Sheldon Chickeness rides for Tom Gardipy Jr., and that win percentage is a hard number to dismiss even at a long price. Her TrackWiz rating of 63.81 is solidly in the mix, and she's a clear value add in trifecta construction.

Race 6

10:40 PM EDT

Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Dirt

A nine-horse claiming field at 7.5 furlongs with a legitimate value play hiding near the top of the TrackWiz rankings at a double-digit morning line price — the type of race where the crowd's money may be in the wrong spot.

win5Makena's JoyML 7/1

Makena's Joy heads our TrackWiz analysis with an 81.25 rating — the top mark in this nine-horse field — while also posting the field's best average speed figure at 53. Kerron Khelawan rides for trainer Demetris Topouzis, and at 7/1 on the morning line, the crowd is sleeping on a horse whose numbers clearly say she belongs near the front of this. That combination of top rating, top speed, and underlay pricing is exactly the spot TrackWiz is built to find.

place8Flying TexML 4/1

Flying Tex (8) checks in at 77.28 on the TrackWiz scale and carries an 18% career win rate — respectable numbers for a claiming field this size. Dario Dalrymple picks up the mount for trainer Mike Taphorn at 4/1, and his average speed of 52 matches the field's mid-pack figures. He's a natural place selection who makes the most sense paired with Makena's Joy in an exacta.

show4OutofquemadoML 3/1

Outofquemado (4) rates 66.40 on TrackWiz and carries a 15% career win rate for trainer M.L. Pierce, with Christopher Roy Mamdeen in the irons at 3/1. The morning line price actually positions him as a crowd favorite here, which means any show ticket is low-yield — but his TrackWiz numbers justify the inclusion in trifectas if you're playing the value angle on top with Makena's Joy.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 9 runners

Race 7

11:05 PM EDT

Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Dirt

A nine-horse claiming field at 7.5 furlongs where the TrackWiz top choice opens at 6/1 — a potential overlay situation where value and form are aligned, and three contenders are separated by fewer than 10 rating points.

win2Gallant OakML 6/1

Gallant Oak heads our TrackWiz analysis at 77.75 — the top rating in the field — and pairs that with an average speed figure of 52 for trainer Sherri Leanne Laing. Neville Stephenson takes the mount at 6/1 on the morning line, and that price looks like a genuine overlay given the top rating. A 11% career win rate is modest, but in a full nine-horse field, that win rate paired with the best form cycle is a compelling combination.

place7Sam's PromiseML 3/1

Sam's Promise (7) is our place selection at 3/1, checking in with a 69.01 TrackWiz rating — just a hair above Shamayim's 68.62 — for trainer Jerry Gourneau with Dario Dalrymple up. His average speed of 50 is a tick below the top trio, but Gourneau also saddles Oregon County (8) in this race, and a trainer running two horses often signals confidence in the barn's form heading in.

show1ShamayimML 4/1

Shamayim (1) rounds out the TrackWiz top three at 68.62 with Rachaad Knights aboard for trainer Mike Taphorn at 4/1. His average speed of 51 is in the middle of the pack, and a 9% career win rate means he hasn't been a consistent winner — but at 4/1 as the show horse in an exotic, he's a reasonable hedge underneath Gallant Oak and Sam's Promise in trifecta combos.
