We're heading to Horseshoe Indianapolis on Thursday, June 25 for a full 12-race card that mixes Thoroughbred dirt sprints, a pair of turf routes, and a quartet of Quarter Horse trials to close out the afternoon. Cloudy skies and a comfortable 79°F should keep conditions stable — no weather excuses today, just horses doing their thing.
The card has some real texture to it. You've got maiden fields on both dirt and turf, a couple of allowance spots where class sorting matters, and those 350-yard trials at the end of the card that Quarter Horse fans live for. Plenty of angles to work, and TrackWiz analysis has flagged some genuinely interesting prices across the board.
Best Bets
Race 1
Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt
A six-furlong claiming opener with a clear TrackWiz rating standout at the top, but the morning line tells a different story — value hunters will find plenty to work with in this competitive field.
Mictlan (No. 6) is the class of this field according to TrackWiz ratings, posting an 87.81 — a full ten points clear of the next competitor. Trainer Miguel Angel Silva sends him out at 5/2 on the morning line, and his 22% career win rate is the second-best in the field among horses with meaningful starts. Matching the field's best average speed figure at 54, Mictlan looks built for this six-furlong dirt sprint and should get a clean trip from post six with Micah Meeks in the irons.
Tap Bonnet (No. 2) carries the second-highest TrackWiz rating in the field at 77.83 and lands at a juicy 7/2 morning line with Marcelino Pedroza, Jr. in the saddle. His 12% career win rate is modest, but his overall profile suggests he hits the board consistently — making him a strong place play in the exacta.
What About Now (No. 5) checks in with a 70.03 TrackWiz rating and draws the morning line favoritism at 3/1, which makes him an intriguing show anchor. Trainer Tim Eggleston saddles him with Fernando De La Cruz, and while a 9% career win rate isn't flashy, he's the kind of horse who finishes and should be live for third at minimum.

Thursday at Horseshoe Indianapolis shapes up as a card worth attacking from multiple angles. The free plays lead with Mictlan's high rating in Race 1 and the value target Calamity at 6/1 in Race 3. The premium slate has teeth too — Sharons Beach in Race 8 is the strongest top-line figure on the whole card and shouldn't be left off tickets.
