Fair Meadows Picks & Predictions — June 24, 2026

Wednesday, June 24, 20269 racesFair Meadows

Fair Meadows is open for business on a partly cloudy Wednesday, with temperatures sitting at a comfortable 82°F — about as good as a summer afternoon in Tulsa gets. The track is hosting a nine-race card that mixes traditional Thoroughbred routes with a cluster of Quarter Horse sprints to close out the day, giving bettors a little bit of everything to chew on.

The first three races lean Thoroughbred, highlighted by a short-priced morning-line favorite in the opener and a 3/1 allowance contender in Race 3 that our models really like. Then the card shifts gears late, with Races 6 through 9 running at 250–300 yards — blink-and-miss-it Quarter Horse action where speed figures and gate breaks tell almost the whole story.

TrackWiz has full ratings on all nine races. The first three are free for everyone; the back six are unlocked for subscribers. Let's break it down.

Best Bets

Race 1

11:00 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

A maiden claiming opener at 6½ furlongs that looks top-heavy on paper — one horse is rated nearly 20 points clear of the field, but maidens can always surprise.

win3Gospel FellaML 3/5

Gospel Fella comes in with a TrackWiz rating of 90, the highest in this field by a wide margin, and the morning line of 3/5 confirms the market agrees. Trainer Steve F. Williams puts the horse in a spot where the figures simply dwarf the competition. At 6½ furlongs on the Fair Meadows dirt, Gospel Fella's profile sets up well, and while the 0% career win rate reflects maiden status rather than chronic losing, this looks like a horse ready to break through. Jockey Emanuel Castillo Zabala should have the luxury of dictating terms from wherever he chooses in the running order.

place5Out With TyML 3/1

Out With Ty checks in with a solid 67 rating and a 3/1 morning line, making this horse the clear second choice in our analysis. Trainer Michael C. Gunter sends the runner out at a distance that fits, and the average speed figure of 49 is competitive enough against most of this field. If Gospel Fella runs up to its rating, Out With Ty looks like a safe place ticket at a price that offers some return.

show1Canadian JimML 4/1

Canadian Jim opens at 4/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 55, sitting third in the field's hierarchy and presenting decent show value in a short five-horse field. Trainer April Gustafson has the horse ready, and with the top two picks likely drawing most of the betting action, Jim could offer overlay value in the exotics. In maiden company, the third spot in the wagering pool can come alive quickly.

Race 2

11:28 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Boyd Caster sends out two horses in this 6-furlong claiming affair, and one of them lands at the top of every metric — the question is whether the barn's second entry complicates the pace scenario.

win3Hollywood IconML 8/5

Hollywood Icon is the standout here with a 89.12 TrackWiz rating, the best in the field, and a career win rate of 16% that speaks to a horse that has actually gotten to the wire first before. The 8/5 morning line is reasonable for a claiming horse with this kind of edge, and trainer Boyd Caster's decision to double-barrel the race suggests confidence. Jockey Belen Quinonez gets the mount on the top horse, and with an average speed figure of 54, Icon should be running faster than most of this group at every call.

place2JoewillyML 3/1

Joewilly is the other half of the Caster equation, rating 84.24 and posting a 55 average speed — the best raw speed in the field. At 3/1, there's a case that Joewilly is actually the underlay here since the stable's second entry, Travis Cunningham takes the reins, and two entries from the same trainer in a claiming race can mean one sets the pace for the other. The 5% career win rate is modest, but the speed figure profile is legitimate.

show6Code MandaloreML 5/1

Code Mandalore opens at 5/1 with a 67.65 rating — third best in the field — and trainer J. Alan Williams fills out what should be a logical show slot. Lindsey Hebert rides, and with a 6% career win rate and an average speed of 53, this horse is capable of grinding out a piece. At 5/1 in a six-horse field, Mandalore belongs in your trifecta and exacta keys as a live show play.

Race 3

11:56 PM EDT

Allowance · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

An allowance sprint at 6½ furlongs where the morning-line favorite and the TrackWiz top-rated horse are different animals — that kind of tension creates real betting opportunity.

win1Lucy's HaloML 3/1

Lucy's Halo tops our ratings at 87.08, well clear of the next contender, and carries a 20% career win rate that stands out in this field. Trainer Jesus Munoz Escobedo sends her out at 3/1 with Travis Cunningham up, and a 20% win strike rate means this horse has been to the winner's circle before and knows what to do down the lane. The average speed of 53 is right in the mix, and the combination of top rating, solid win record, and competent connections makes Lucy's Halo the clear top selection.

place5Mucho MiaML 6/1

Mucho Mia is our value angle in the place spot, rated 73.37 and going off at 6/1 under trainer Boyd Caster with Roman Cruz in the irons. The 8% career win rate is modest, but the 6/1 price on a horse this far up the ratings ladder represents solid overlay potential. Caster has been active on this card and clearly has his barn in form, making Mucho Mia a logical place horse in exotics at a generous number.

show6Caleb's FinestML 8/5

Caleb's Finest is the morning-line favorite at 8/5 but ranks only third in our ratings at 56.01 — that's worth noting. A 23% career win rate is the best in the field, and Curtis Kimes is a reliable partner, but our analysis suggests the public may be overweighting recent form here. At chalk odds, Finest is a reasonable show inclusion, but we'd rather take the overlay on Lucy's Halo to win.

The free portion of today's card is a solid sampler. Gospel Fella opens things up in Race 1 as a heavy 3/5 morning-line chalk in a maiden claiming route going 6½ furlongs — a TrackWiz rating of 90 tops the field by a clear margin, and on a fast dirt track with no rain in the forecast, a front-running type should have every advantage. Race 2 brings a slightly more open claiming affair at six furlongs, where Hollywood Icon (8/5 ML, 89.12 rating) projects as the class of the field. These two connect nicely for a potential early-double ticket if you like short-priced links.

Race 3 is the most interesting free race on the card. Lucy's Halo opens at 3/1 in an allowance sprint — that's real value territory for a horse our analysis rates at 87.08. Allowance horses stepping up from maiden or claiming ranks need to prove they belong, but the mild weather and dry surface play right into a horse with tactical speed. If the pace scenario sets up as projected, Lucy's Halo could be the best price of the first three races.

Race 4

12:24 AM EDT

Claiming · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

Tim Dixon saddles two horses in this 5½-furlong claiming sprint, and the stable's top pick sits at the summit of the TrackWiz ratings — a loaded hand for one of the day's busier trainers.

win1Railey JeanML 3/1

Railey Jean leads our ratings at 87.08 and shows a 12% career win rate, a solid mark for a claiming filly at this level. Curtis Kimes rides for trainer Tim Dixon, and the fact that Dixon has two horses in this race and Kimes takes this one is a meaningful signal — when a barn splits, the jockey's choice often tells the story. The average speed of 54 matches the top end of this field, and at 3/1, Railey Jean looks like a fair price for the horse our numbers favor.

place4Norma Jean BlingML 3/1

Norma Jean Bling is Dixon's second entry and rates 65.91 with a 13% career win rate — actually a hair better win percentage than Railey Jean, which keeps this one honest. Cassidy D. B. Fletcher takes the mount, and with a 3/1 morning line identical to the stable's top pick, the public isn't separating them much either. Bling's average speed of 54 ties for best in field, and in a seven-horse race with two Dixon entries in the mix, she's a logical exacta partner.

show3Posetively PerfectML 5/2

Posetively Perfect opens at 5/2 with a 63.46 rating and matches the 12% career win mark of our top pick. Trainer Jody Pruitt and jockey Obed Sanchez form a serviceable connection, and at a sprint distance of 5½ furlongs, Perfect's speed figure of 53 is right in the competitive zone. The price is fair, and in an exotic, she rounds out what shapes up as a Dixon-heavy but competitive trifecta.

Race 5

12:52 AM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

The morning line and our top-rated horse are at opposite ends of the program in this six-furlong claiming race — Echo Sister lurks from the outside post with the best numbers on the card.

win7Echo SisterML 4/1

Echo Sister sits in post 7 but carries the field's top TrackWiz rating at 85.62 and a 4/1 morning line that represents genuine value. Trainer Boyd Caster has been a consistent presence throughout this card, and Travis Cunningham gets the call — a jockey clearly comfortable working with this barn today. The 10% career win rate is respectable in claiming company, and an average speed of 54 positions Echo Sister at the top of the pace hierarchy. At 4/1, this is the kind of horse our analysis loves — top numbers, fair price, confident connections.

place4Flat Out ReadyML 5/2

Flat Out Ready is the morning-line second choice at 5/2 and backs it up with a 72.02 rating and the best career win rate in the field at 20%. Trainer J. Alan Williams and jockey Leandro D. Goncalves are a solid pairing, and a horse that has won one in five career tries at this level is not bluffing. The average speed of 53 is just a tick below Echo Sister, which frames the race nicely — a pace battle between these two could set up a clean trip for whoever runs the race better.

show2Let'sgojloML 5/1

Let'sgojlo rates 55.35 and opens at 5/1, giving Lindsey Hebert a live mount with decent upside at a fair price. The 6% career win rate is modest, but trainer Shon M. Dunlap's entry carries a 54 average speed — matching the top horses on raw figures. In a race where the top two picks may battle each other, a closer profile at 5/1 in the show slot has real appeal for trifecta players.

Race 6

1:17 AM EDT

Starter Allowance · 250 yd · Dirt

The quarter-horse sprint action kicks off with a Starter Allowance at 250 yards — pure explosiveness determines the outcome, and two horses in this field are rated in the high 80s.

win5Stolin Home BrewML 7/5

Stolin Home Brew is the morning-line favorite at 7/5 and backs it up with an 88.66 TrackWiz rating — best in the field. A 20% career win rate means this horse finishes first regularly, and trainer Marla Dayana Vargas's barn also has Pine Valley in the race, showing they came to compete today. Jonathan Dominguez gets the call, and at 250 yards on the Fair Meadows dirt, Stolin Home Brew's combination of top rating and proven win rate makes this a hard horse to oppose even at a short number.

place6Shaundas Quick DashML 5/1

Shaundas Quick Dash is the sleeper in this race — rated 84.17, second only to Stolin Home Brew, yet going off at 5/1 on the morning line. Trainer Hernesto Ramirez sends the horse out with Juan Arellano up, and an 18% career win rate shows this is no stranger to the wire. At a distance where the margin for error is essentially zero, having the second-best rating at 5/1 is a significant overlay situation worth attacking in the exacta.

show2His Royal MajestiML 3/1

His Royal Majesti shows a 25% career win rate — the highest in the field — and opens at 3/1 with trainer Edward L. Webb and jockey Ruben Castro. That win percentage is not a fluke; a horse that wins a quarter of its starts has elite finishing instincts for this distance. The 73.42 rating slots him third in our analysis, but career win rate matters enormously in sprint races, and Royal Majesti brings credibility at a reachable price.

Race 7

1:42 AM EDT

Allowance · 250 yd · Dirt

An allowance 250-yard dash featuring a heavy favorite by our ratings and a pair of value horses with big career win percentages that could complicate the exacta picture significantly.

win1Eyesa Candy GuyML 2/1

Eyesa Candy Guy tops our ratings at 88.54 and goes off at 2/1 — the favorite by both our model and the morning line. Trainer Jesus Ruben Ruiz puts Roman Cruz in the irons, and Cruz has been active on this card. The 11% career win rate is the kind of number you expect from a horse that competes regularly at the allowance level. At 250 yards, the race is decided in a heartbeat, and our analysis puts Eyesa Candy Guy clearly ahead of the pack — the 2/1 price is acceptable given the margin of separation in the ratings.

place4Bv King of DenialML 6/1

Bv King of Denial opens at 6/1 with a 60.96 rating but brings a 20% career win rate — the second highest in this field. Trainer Jesus Munoz Escobedo has a consistent barn, and Angel Ortega Stanley is a reliable rider on this circuit. At 6/1 for a horse with one-in-five win credentials, this is exactly the type of exacta underlier that pays well when the favorite runs its race and a live longshot sneaks into second.

show5Capo Sm ChicksML 5/1

Capo Sm Chicks is the eye-opener at 5/1 with a 40% career win rate — by far the highest in the entire race. That number demands attention even with a 59.42 rating that slots fifth in our model. Trainer Samuel Mendoza sends this horse out with Jaime Mata in the irons, and a horse that wins four out of ten career starts in quarter-horse company is absolutely capable of hitting the board here. Don't leave Capo Sm Chicks out of your trifecta.

Race 8

2:07 AM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 250 yd · Dirt

A maiden claiming sprint at 250 yards where one horse carries a dominant rating in an otherwise tightly bunched field — the short distance makes that edge especially valuable.

win7RykarML 7/5

Rykar opens at 7/5 and holds an 89.42 TrackWiz rating — the highest mark of any horse in this race and one of the highest on the entire card. Trainer Everardo N. Escamilla-Gonzalez puts Juan Arellano up, and in a maiden field at 250 yards, a horse with this kind of ratings advantage simply needs to break clean. No career wins yet, which is expected in maiden company, but the model sees a clear talent gap between Rykar and the rest of this field.

place1Jessies Blue WagonML 3/1

Jessies Blue Wagon rates 72.45 — second best in the field and 17 points clear of the third-highest rating — and opens at 3/1 with trainer Guillermo Valdivia and Mario Delgado in the irons. In a short-field maiden sprint, that gap between second and third in the ratings is meaningful. Wagon gives you a legit exacta partner with Rykar at a price that won't kill your ticket.

show5Wf Mr LegacyML 5/1

Wf Mr Legacy rates 53.33 and opens at 5/1 under trainer Valerie Torres with Jasten Pedraza aboard. In a seven-horse maiden field where most horses are separated by small margins below the top two, Legacy's fifth-place rating still puts the horse in the hunt for a piece. The 5/1 morning line reflects a realistic shot, and for trifecta players, Legacy gives you an accessible price on a horse with a legitimate claim to the third spot.

Race 9

2:32 AM EDT

Maiden · 300 yd · Dirt

The card closes with a 300-yard maiden sprint — a slight distance uptick from the 250-yard dashes that gives closers a touch more runway, and our top pick is a clear morning-line favorite.

win4Gold MedalistML 2/1

Gold Medalist leads our ratings at 72.00 and is the 2/1 morning-line favorite, giving TrackWiz analysis and the oddsmakers full alignment. Trainer Samuel E. Valdivia sends Cody Rodger Smith to the irons — a jockey who has been active in the quarter-horse races today. In a maiden field where no horse has broken its maiden yet, the edge in ratings is what you lean on, and Gold Medalist has a 17-point advantage over the next horse on our model. The 300-yard distance is enough that a horse with superior ratings can assert itself before the wire.

place6Lorenzo GoldML 5/2

Lorenzo Gold opens at 5/2 with a 57.5 rating — second in the field — and Roman Cruz takes the mount for trainer Jesus Ruben Ruiz. Cruz has shown up throughout today's quarter-horse card, and Ruiz clearly has horses ready. At 5/2 in a maiden field, Lorenzo Gold gives you a logical exacta partner with the top pick at a price that still pays decently. The horse slots neatly into the second tier of this race.

show7Kiss My Flying HocksML 4/1

Kiss My Flying Hocks opens at 4/1 with a 55.00 rating — third in our model — for trainer Maria Elisa A Rodriguez and jockey Cordarelton J. Benn. In a seven-horse maiden field at 300 yards, the top three in our ratings are separated from the rest, and Hocks sits at the bottom of that top tier. The 4/1 price on a horse with the third-best figures gives trifecta players a manageable add-on to round out a logical top-three combination.
