Horseshoe Indianapolis Picks & Predictions — May 28, 2026

Unbridled Devine is a fascinating alternative at 4/1 with a rating of 85.62 — only 2.78 points behind Cloudy Star. A 35% career win rate is the second-highest in the field, and she's posting average speed figures of 55, tied for the best in the race. Alberto Burgos rides for trainer John Haran, who also has City Prayers in here, so the barn has options. At 4/1, she's a live underlay for exacta and trifecta plays.

Catatonic rounds out a logical top three at 5/2 with a rating of 81.75. Her average speed of 55 matches the top horses in this field, and Rodney Prescott — who picks up the mount for Larry Rivelli — is a savvy pilot who can place a horse well in a pace duel. She's not the most obvious winner, but at her morning line, she represents solid insurance in exacta and trifecta combinations.

Lord Ripley is our place selection from post 3 with a rating of 74.31 and the same 52 average speed as the top contenders. Trainer Aaron West puts Samuel Bermudez up — a productive combo — and the inside post should help get him in a comfortable spot early in a race this big. The 6/1 morning line feels fair, and he's a natural fit underneath Bourbon Rage in exactas.

High as the Sky is an interesting show option at 12/1 with a rating of 72.56, third-best in the field despite being sent off at a double-digit price. Trainer Terry Vaughn sends out Joseph Bealmear, and this horse's 52 average speed puts him right in the mix. In a race where pace scenarios are hard to predict with 16 horses, a closer profile could end up benefiting late — and at 12/1, the payout if he hits the board is attractive.

Stuck in Park at 8/5 is the second choice in the market and rates second in our model at 59.00 — a big gap behind the top pick, but a comfortable margin over the rest of the field. Trainer Randy Klopp puts Irving Moncada up, and Klopp has been a reliable presence at Horseshoe Indianapolis. His 54 average speed is solid for a first-level MSW sprint, and he should be the main threat to Socorro's Prayer for place honors.

Which Side R U On is the longshot of our trio at 12/1 with a rating of 41.67 — but she stands out from the rest of the also-rans by posting the highest average speed figure in the field at 55, tied with Socorro's Prayer. That's a genuinely surprising data point at 12/1 odds, and trainer Anthony Granitz slots Santo Sanjur in from post 5. If pace sets up favorably, she could sneak into third at a big number and pay well in exotics.

Slam Diego rates 74.87 — second in the field — and comes in with a 28% career win rate that's the best among all 11 starters. Trainer Robertino Diodoro is a sharp conditioner, and Alex Achard gets the mount from the 11-hole. His 54 average speed matches the top of this field, and at 4/1, he's the most logical win-or-place threat to Go Town.

Timeless Rose rounds out our top three with a rating of 72.28 and a 15% career win rate. Marcelino Pedroza Jr. — one of the busiest and most effective riders in this meet — picks up the mount for Anthony Granitz from post 7. Her 54 average speed is competitive, and at 5/1, she's worth including in exactas and trifectas as a legitimate third wheel.

Crema Agria rates just behind at 55.83, and trainer Eduardo Caramori puts Orlando Bocachica up from the outside post 7 at 7/2. The morning line spread between the top three picks is razor-thin, which means pace and gate manners could easily reshuffle the order. Crema Agria is a natural place bet in a spot like this — close enough to win, safe enough to land second.

Gonna Be Golden comes in at 4/1 with a rating of 55.00 — literally separated from the top two by less than a point. Trainer Michael Lauer sends Alberto Burgos out from post 4, a favorable gate position in a 5-furlong sprint where breaking cleanly matters. At 4/1, she's a sound show play and an interesting inclusion in trifectas given how tightly bunched the top ratings are.

Annie Express sits at 86.38 — just 2.16 points behind Sweet Heat — and brings a 21% career win rate into this spot, the second-highest in the field. Fernando De La Cruz rides for Chaz Rechy from the favorable inside post 1, and a 53 average speed shows she can run. If Sweet Heat sets the pace or gets caught up in a speed duel, Annie Express is exactly the type to close into second or challenge for the win.

Funs Lil Sis at 5/1 is a smart inclusion in the exotics with a 25% career win rate — the highest of any starter in this race. Trainer Aaron West gets Samuel Bermudez up from post 8, and her 52 average speed puts her in the mix with the second tier. She's unlikely to match the top two in raw speed, but a solid pace scenario could let her sneak into third and pay a decent dividend.

Cv Warlock rates 54.17 — just a hair behind the top pick — and comes in at 9/2 on the morning line with Edgar Diaz in the irons for trainer Claudio Barraza. In a straight sprint, the inside post 1 is a legitimate advantage as there's nowhere to get pinched wide. Barraza also has Flying Beach in the field, giving the barn two shots at the exacta. Cv Warlock is a logical place horse given his rating and gate position.

Eos Bodacious Boy rates 53.33 — tied for third in the field — and goes at 5/1 for trainer Anthony Cunningham, who doubles up with Fabulous Freddie in this same race. Luz Daniel Martinez handles riding duties on both Cunningham horses, which is a logistical note — he's named on one, and another rider on the other, so confirm scratches at post time. At 5/1, Eos Bodacious Boy is worth a small piece in trifecta coverage in what is, at 300 yards, essentially a coin flip with a slight analytical edge.
