Latest Fort Erie Free Picks
Fort Erie is not racing today. Below are the free picks from the last Fort Erie card, September 7, 2026.
Race 1
Maiden Claiming · 5 fur · Dirt
A maiden claiming opener with no career winners in the field, making this all about raw ability — and TrackWiz ratings separate the contenders from the also-rans in a hurry.
Mulmur lands at the top of our TrackWiz ratings with an 88.54 — the highest mark in this field by a comfortable margin — and Roy George Agostino sends him out at a fair 2/1 morning line. With an average speed figure of 53, he's right in line with the mid-pack, but the overall rating edge here is hard to ignore. Michael David gets the call and should have him positioned well in a short 5-furlong sprint where every stride counts.
Smarter Still is the morning-line favorite at 7/5 and carries an elite TrackWiz rating of 78.24 — second best in the race. Jason Hoyte is up, and trainer Beverley Chubb has this one pointing well. With a matching average speed of 53, Smarter Still projects as a legitimate place threat who might just need a little more seasoning to challenge for top honors.
Frac City sits third in the ratings at 70.31 and gets Juan Crawford, one of the more active riders at Fort Erie this meet. Posted at 3/1 on the morning line, there's enough public respect here to keep the price honest without being a false chalk situation. In a maiden field where raw figures are all we have to go on, Frac City's score makes it a credible exotic inclusion.
Race 2
Claiming · 5 fur · Dirt
This 5-furlong dirt claimer sets up as a pace battle among horses with measurable records, and the TrackWiz numbers point to a clear top two — with a potential overlay lurking at 6/1.
People Are People is the standout here with a TrackWiz rating of 85.66 and the best career win percentage in the field at 20%. The 2/1 morning line reflects the public respect, but the edge in both ratings and wins makes this horse more than just a public fancy. Da-Sean Zavier Gaskin picks up the mount, and with the top average speed figure at 56, pace won't be an issue — this one has the ability to dictate terms from the front.
Vandoo is an interesting overlay at 6/1 given a TrackWiz rating of 82.71 — within three points of the top pick. Trainer Joseph Humber has him ready, and Edgar Zenteno takes the reins. The 11% career win rate is modest, but with a 55 average speed figure matching the top pacers, Vandoo has the raw ability to hang around for a piece at a generous price.
Forester Humor checks in with a 63.21 TrackWiz rating and a 12% career win percentage — not spectacular, but in a field where Absolute Chairman falls off sharply at 42.08, the mid-tier horses become more relevant in exotics. Juan Crawford, fresh off a Race 1 ride, keeps rolling, and a 55 average speed figure keeps Forester Humor competitive through the stretch of this short sprint.
Race 3
Maiden Special Weight · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt
The MSW condition elevates the stakes in Race 3, and two horses — Woodglen Court and Dancin Mary Marie — break sharply away from the rest of the field in the ratings, setting up a likely two-horse show at 6.5 furlongs.
Woodglen Court tops the TrackWiz ratings at 88.83 and draws the second post at a fair 9/5 morning line. Trainer William G. McMahon sends this one out with a 52 average speed figure that's a bit below the highest in the field, but the overall rating profile and the MSW condition suggest this horse has more upside than the raw speed number shows. Edgar Zenteno, one of the meet's better riders, gets the mount and should keep Woodglen Court in a good spot through the two turns of this 6.5-furlong test.
Dancin Mary Marie is the horse we'd circle as a legit upset threat if the pace heats up. The 83.32 TrackWiz rating is only 5.5 points off the top, and a 54 average speed figure actually edges out Woodglen Court by two ticks. Trainer Desmond Maynard places horses well, and Desean Bynoe is an underrated commodity at this circuit. At 9/2, there's genuine value in pairing this one in your exactas beneath the favorite.
Londo is a curious inclusion at 3/1 — public respect that outpaces the 56.67 TrackWiz rating, which sits well below the top pair. That said, Da-Sean Zavier Gaskin is one of the hotter riders at Fort Erie and can squeeze more out of a horse than the numbers project. No career speed figure on record means some uncertainty, but the jockey angle keeps Londo in play as a show hedge in wider exotic tickets.
