We're heading to Fairmount Park for a seven-race Saturday card on a cloudy 83-degree afternoon in Collinsville. The heat is there but the cloud cover should keep the track from getting too cuppy late — expect a relatively consistent dirt surface throughout the day, which is good news for speed horses looking to wire fields in these sprint-heavy conditions.

The card is loaded with six-furlong dirt sprints, which is Fairmount's bread and butter. Four of the seven races run under Allowance Optional Claiming conditions, meaning we're looking at horses with some class and recent form — not a throwaway afternoon. Whether you're playing every race or cherry-picking spots, there's plenty here to work with.

Our TrackWiz ratings span a solid range today, from a wide-open maiden race to a couple of top-end plays pushing into the high 80s. Let's break it down.

Best Bets

Race 1

2:30 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

A maiden claiming opener where the chalk draws a short number but the TrackWiz ratings tell a different story — the morning line favorite isn't the top-rated horse in the field.

win5My Mama SezML 10/1

My Mama Sez posts the highest TrackWiz rating in the field at 66.94, a number that stands well clear of the morning line favorite Wildwood Overtime despite being posted at 10/1 on the morning line. That kind of rating gap in a maiden field is worth taking seriously — our models see something the oddsmakers aren't pricing in. Javier Diego gets the call for trainer Rhonda Thurman, and if My Mama Sez can convert that raw rating into an honest run on the front end, this could be a prime overlay in what should be a wide-open maiden race.

place4Wildwood OvertimeML 3/5

Wildwood Overtime is the public's choice at 3/5 on the morning line, and there's no ignoring that support — a TrackWiz rating of 60 puts her firmly in contention. The concern is whether that short price offers any real value to win, which is why we slot her into the place position instead. Victor Santiago keeps the mount for Scott Becker, and a clean trip from the four hole could absolutely see her fill a spot on the ticket.

show2Juliette P.ML 5/1

Juliette P. sneaks into the show spot with the second-highest TrackWiz rating in the field at 53.33 and a morning line of 5/1 that represents fair value in exotic wagering. Emmanuel Giles rides for Anthony Blea III, a trainer who knows this circuit. In a maiden race with all zeroes in the career win column, consistency of speed figure — Juliette P. ties for the top avg speed at 53 — makes her a logical underneath inclusion in trifectas.

Race 2

2:55 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

A claiming sprint headlined by two heavy hitters at the top of the morning line — but the TrackWiz ratings create a clear pecking order, with nearly an 18-point gap between the top two rated horses and the rest of the field.

win4Swaggy GeorgeML 6/5

Swaggy George is the standout in this field with a TrackWiz rating of 89.71 — the highest number on the entire card for Race 2 and a commanding edge over every other entrant. Trained by Mike Durham and piloted by Angel Ortega Stanley, this horse carries a 6/5 morning line that actually looks fair given how dominant the rating is. The avg speed of 54 ties for the best in the field, and in a six-furlong dirt sprint, that kind of pure ability advantage tends to assert itself early.

place5Faithful RulerML 7/5

Faithful Ruler comes in as the second choice on the morning line at 7/5 and backs it up with a TrackWiz rating of 71.07 — a legitimate contender, just a tier below the top pick. A career win rate of 16% for trainer James M. Watkins gives this horse a real competitive foundation, and Cory Orm is a capable hand in the irons. The place spot feels like exactly the right valuation here — strong enough to hit the board, but worth more in exacta construction than as a standalone win bet against Swaggy George.

show3Gallant BuckML 7/2

Gallant Buck at 7/2 represents solid value for the show position with a TrackWiz rating of 51.84 and the best avg speed figure among the non-favorites at 54. Johanis Aranguren rides for trainer Robert Pompell, and a horse with double-digit career win percentage in a claiming field isn't just taking up space. In trifectas, Gallant Buck is a logical third wheel — competitive enough to hang around but probably a step behind the top two.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 7 runners

The first three races on today's card are open to all TrackWiz readers, and they cover a nice variety of conditions — a Maiden Claiming opener, a straight Claiming sprint, and a Starter Allowance. In Race 1, My Mama Sez comes in at a generous 10/1 morning line with a TrackWiz rating of 66.94 in what figures to be a wide-open field. Maiden races at this level can be chaotic, but that morning line price is worth noting if the field sets up right. In Race 2, Swaggy George is our strongest free play of the day — a 6/5 morning line favorite backed by a 89.71 rating, the highest mark on the card. When a horse checks that many boxes at a sprint distance on a track that favors pace, you pay attention.

Race 3 shifts up to Starter Allowance conditions, a step above claiming company for horses that have broken their maiden. Smart Joker at 5/2 carries an 87.81 rating and looks like the class of that field. The pace scenario in these early sprints bears watching — if the front-runners soften each other up in Races 1 and 2, closers may get a little more traction by the third race. Keep that in mind when structuring your tickets.

Full Card Analysis

Race 3

3:20 PM EDT

Starter Allowance · 6 fur · Dirt

A starter allowance sprint with three horses clustered near the top of the ratings — Smart Joker, Zoombie, and Khozan's Valentine form a legitimate top tier, but the pace scenario could shake things up depending on who wants the lead.

win7Smart JokerML 5/2

Smart Joker tops the TrackWiz ratings in this field at 87.81 and carries a 5/2 morning line that offers solid overlay potential given how strong that number is relative to the competition. The 18% career win rate might look modest at first glance, but in a starter allowance field like this, it's the quality of those wins that matters — and the rating says this horse belongs at the top. Cory Orm is the pilot for trainer James M. Watkins, and that barn has multiple horses in tonight's card, suggesting they came to Fairmount Park ready to compete.

place4ZoombieML 9/5

Zoombie is no pushover here — a 29% career win rate is the best in the entire field, and a TrackWiz rating of 83.97 makes this the logical main rival to Smart Joker. Alexander Bendezu teams up with trainer Ralph Martinez, and the 9/5 morning line reflects genuine public respect. If the pace sets up kindly, Zoombie has the closing profile to grab a piece — the place spot is a high-confidence inclusion.

show1Khozan's ValentineML 4/1

Khozan's Valentine rounds out the top three with a TrackWiz rating of 79.54 and a 25% career win rate — numbers that would make this horse the favorite in a lot of races on a different card. Reynier Arrieta gets the mount for Clay Laux, and from the one-hole, a clean break could put this horse on or near the lead early. As a show play at 4/1, Khozan's Valentine offers real value if the top two hit the board — don't overlook the morning line price when building trifectas.

Race 4

3:45 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

An allowance optional claiming field where the favorite's TrackWiz rating towers over the rest, but the place and show picks offer some of the best exotic value on tonight's card — including a horse with a 33% career win rate buried at 6/1.

win1GalantiniML 7/5

Galantini comes in with the top TrackWiz rating in this field at 89.42 and draws the inside post with Julio E. Felix up for trainer James M. Watkins. The 7/5 morning line is short, but this rating is legitimately elite relative to the field — there's nearly a 32-point gap between Galantini and the next closest horse in our model. A six-furlong dirt sprint suits horses that can set or stalk the pace, and from the rail, Galantini should have every opportunity to control the fractions.

place6Don't Tell KimML 6/1

Don't Tell Kim is the value play that casual bettors might scroll past at 6/1 on the morning line, but a 33% career win rate is a number that demands attention — best in the field by a wide margin. Trainer Ben Delong hands the reins to Cory Orm, and while the TrackWiz rating of 57.14 puts this horse behind the favorite, that career win percentage suggests a horse that knows how to finish. In exactas and trifectas, Don't Tell Kim could be the key to a big score if the favorite does its job on top.

show2Go Jack GoML 5/1

Go Jack Go posts an 11% career win rate and a TrackWiz rating of 53.48 with a 5/1 morning line that slots in naturally as a show play. Frank Reyes rides for Elias Lopez, and this horse's avg speed of 54 ties for the best in the field — the raw numbers say Go Jack Go can run. The show position here is a hedge against any pace collapse; if Galantini and Don't Tell Kim tangle on the lead, Go Jack Go could be rolling late.

Race 5

4:10 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Trainer James M. Watkins saddles two of the top-rated horses in this allowance optional claiming sprint, but the star of the show for our model is Epic Prankster — and the pace setup between the stablemates could actually benefit the entire top three.

win2Epic PranksterML 2/1

Epic Prankster gets the nod as the win pick with a TrackWiz rating of 88.54 — tops in the field — and a 28% career win rate that's genuinely elite for this class of race. Ademar Santos rides for the hot Watkins barn, and at a 2/1 morning line, this horse is priced about right. The avg speed of 54 matches the best in the field, and a horse that wins at nearly a 30% clip doesn't need a perfect trip to find the winner's circle.

place6Chasing NumbersML 5/2

Chasing Numbers is the interesting angle here — a TrackWiz rating of 82.05 is legitimately strong, but the 5/2 morning line makes this horse look like the second choice when our model actually has it second-best as well. Ricardo Jaime pilots for Anthony Blea III, and with a 12% career win rate, this horse's ceiling is a bit lower than the top pick — but the rating is close enough that any trouble for Epic Prankster could flip the result. A strong place play.

show1Mindy's UnionML 5/2

Mindy's Union is the other Watkins entry in this race, and while the TrackWiz rating of 76.65 puts her third in the field, there's no dismissing a horse from the same barn that's running two live contenders tonight. Julio E. Felix rides, and the 5/2 morning line means the public likes this one too. As a show play, Mindy's Union is a safe landing spot for trifecta tickets — trainer Watkins rarely saddles horses without a plan.

Race 6

4:35 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 1 mi 70 yd · Dirt

The lone route of the night stretches out to a mile and 70 yards, and the pace scenario gets intriguing — several of these horses project to be chasing, which could set up a pace duel at the front and a big finish from the back.

win3Commissioner GulchML 2/1

Commissioner Gulch dominates the TrackWiz ratings in this field at 88.54 — a number that mirrors the elite ratings we've seen from tonight's top picks — and carries a 26% career win rate that confirms this horse has been delivering at the highest level. Alexander Bendezu is one of the busier riders on tonight's card and gets a live mount here for trainer Scott Becker. The 2/1 morning line is a fair price for a horse this dominant on our model, and at a mile-plus distance, a horse with this kind of ability edge typically has plenty of room to maneuver.

place6Sassy KatieML 6/5

Sassy Katie is the morning line favorite at 6/5 despite being second in the TrackWiz ratings at 74.71 — a legitimate contender, but one that's being overbet relative to Commissioner Gulch. Javier Tavares rides for Robert Pompell, and a 24% career win rate is a strong foundation. The place slot feels like the right spot — Sassy Katie has the ability to hit the board but faces a legitimate ratings gap against the top pick in a route that could expose any weaknesses over the longer haul.

show4Irish KittenML 20/1

Irish Kitten is the genuine value play in this race — a 20/1 morning line and a TrackWiz rating of 53.46 that's notably higher than what you'd expect from a horse at that price. Travis Wales rides for Wesley Cook, and while a 5% career win rate raises eyebrows, the model sees something worth noting here. In a route race where pace can be brutal and favorites can get tired, a horse like Irish Kitten landing third at 20/1 would make for a monster trifecta payout — this one's worth a small show wager or a savvy trifecta construction.

Race 7

5:00 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

The nightcap is a wide-open allowance optional claiming sprint with a fascinating top-three ratings cluster and the most compelling individual stat of the evening — a horse with a 66% career win rate sitting at 4/1 on the morning line.

win2OnthewayjimmyML 4/1

Onthewayjimmy has the top TrackWiz rating in the field at 85.62, but the number that truly jumps off the page is the 66% career win rate — by far the highest of any horse on tonight's card. Harold Joseph Ortega gets the mount for trainer Scott Becker, who also has Don'ttapthetill in this race, suggesting the barn is comfortable with their horses' conditions. The 4/1 morning line looks like genuine value given how dominant that win percentage is; horses that win two-thirds of their starts don't go off at 4/1 very often.

place6Fiveo'clockcharlieML 3/1

Fiveo'clockcharlie rates second in the field at 83.3 with an 18% career win rate and a 3/1 morning line that makes this horse an attractive exacta partner alongside the top pick. Ademar Santos rides for James M. Watkins, and this barn has been active and competitive throughout tonight's card. The avg speed of 54 is among the best in this field, and a horse with this kind of rating consistency in a six-furlong sprint usually finds a way to be involved at the top of the stretch.

show1TakeitawayML 8/5

Takeitaway draws the rail at 8/5 on the morning line and posts the highest avg speed figure in the entire field at 56 — that number stands alone. Luis H. Colon rides for trainer Michele Boyce, and while the TrackWiz rating of 74.7 puts this horse third among the top three, that speed figure advantage is real and could translate to front-end pressure that controls the race early. The show position might be underselling Takeitaway's raw speed, but with Onthewayjimmy and Fiveo'clockcharlie posting stronger overall ratings, third is the prudent slot in multi-leg wagers.
