Horseshoe Indianapolis Picks & Predictions — November 13, 2026

Tap Dancing is a first-time starter from Hall of Fame-caliber trainer Brad H. Cox, who grades at A in our system, and she's flashed speed in workouts, ranking third over the past month at 12.10 sec/furlong. With no race figures available we're operating somewhat in the dark, but the trainer angle alone makes her a serious player in a wide-open maiden field. She rated second in TrackWiz at 55.83 and our sims pegged her at nearly 15% — competitive with the top pick.

Promised Vow comes in third in the ratings at 55.00 and brings the second-fastest recent race speed in the field at 12.27 sec/furlong, which matters when separating horses with limited form. She's also trained by Brad H. Cox (A grade), and the De La Cruz/Cox combo has connected at a sizzling 35% wins and 71% in-the-money over the past year — elite numbers. She didn't place last time out, which is the one blemish, but the connections and race speed keep her squarely in the exotics.

It'stheonlywaytogo ranks second in the ratings at 69.58 and owns the fastest recent race speed in the field at 12.36 sec/furlong — that's a real edge at this distance. He's placed in four of his last six starts and has hit the board in four of six dirt starts overall. The concern is he's returning on only 22 days of rest when he historically performs better with 30-plus days between races, which knocks him down a tier — but the speed and consistency make him a confident place selection.

Eltinge is an interesting show play at even money on the morning line — typically odds-on types like this get bet down further, so there may be some early value. He rates third at 65.28 and has a 45% career in-the-money rate with trainer John Langemeier, who grades A-. The concern is a rough recent stretch with only one in-the-money finish over his last six starts, so the recent form is cold even if the overall profile looks solid. Use him in exotic tickets as a hedge against the top two.

Frankel Baby rates second at 77.44 and has ranked third in the field for recent race speed at 11.58 sec/furlong, putting her squarely in the mix on pure ability. She's placed in three of her last five starts and three consecutive at that — steady, reliable form. Mitchell Murrill, who grades A-, gets the call, which is a positive. The only concern flagged is her age — six years old, which is considered past peak — but the current form says she's still producing.

Spinning Glory is the value piece of this top three at 5/1 on the morning line. She rates third at 75.47 with an impressive 42% career win rate and 64% in-the-money rate, and she's placed in four of her last six starts. Her recent race speed ranks second in the field at 11.55 sec/furlong — essentially matching Frankel Baby. Jockey Orlando Mojica has hit at 21% wins and 55% ITM over the past year. If you're building an exacta or trifecta, she's the natural third piece.

Soul of the Night rates second at 73.62 and comes in with the most powerful connections in the race: Fernando De La Cruz and Brad H. Cox, whose combination has produced a 35% win rate and 71% in-the-money rate over the past year. She's placed in two consecutive starts and hit the board in two of her last three. A 33% career win rate and 66% ITM further support confidence. At 4/1 on the morning line she's not an overlay, but the connections justify the ticket.

Stella's Mischief rates third at 70.45 with a 50% career win rate and 75% in-the-money, and she's specifically dominant in sprints — two wins and three in-the-money from four sprint races. She's placed in three of her last four starts, all of which is very relevant for a six-furlong race today. At 5/1 she offers a touch of value compared to the morning-line favorites above her, making her a solid show or exotic inclusion.

Cover Art rates second in the field at 74.52 and has posted recent race speed third-best among runners at 12.57 sec/furlong. She's placed in four of seven turf starts — solid surface-specific experience — and has hit the board in two consecutive starts coming in. The jockey, Alexander Crispin, grades C+, which is a mild concern, but the turf form and recent consistency make Cover Art a logical place selection in a full field like this.

Pro Fever rates third at 70.55 and brings an impressive medium-distance record to the table: six in-the-money finishes from eight tries at around a mile, plus four placements from his last six starts overall. He's placed in two consecutive starts heading into this race. At 8/1 on the morning line he offers meaningful value as a show play or trifecta fill in what could be a wide-open exotic.

Whitey Lange rates second in the field at 57.50 and ranks second for recent race speed at 12.71 sec/furlong, which is meaningful when separating horses with limited data. He carries a 50% career in-the-money rate and trainer John Langemeier grades A-. At 5/2 on the morning line he's the public's choice, and while the rating gap between him and Jims Promise is significant, he's consistent enough to anchor the place slot.

Unprecedented Kid rates third at 53.33 and owns the best workout figure among the entire 14-horse field over the past month at 12.15 sec/furlong — that's a sharp piece of data for a horse we don't have a lot of race figures on. He's a first-time starter from trainer Anthony Cunningham (B grade), and our sims gave him a 10% win share despite the limited form profile. At 5/1 on the morning line, the workout speed makes him worth including in exactas and trifectas.

Aint Having It rates a hair below at 84.17 and actually owns the fastest recent race speed in this field at 12.10 sec/furlong — a meaningful edge in a stakes field. She's placed in three consecutive starts and has hit the board in all three of her dirt races. Like the top pick, she's also changing distance today, which is flagged as a concern, and that parallel risk is exactly why the exacta could pay nicely. At 5/1 on the morning line with her form figures, she's a strong place play.

Miss Resilient rates third at 79.69 with one win and two in-the-money finishes from three dirt starts, plus two consecutive in-the-money efforts coming in. The Mendoza/Garcia combination has connected at 24% wins and 55% ITM over the past year. At 9/2 on the morning line she's a fair price for a horse with clean recent form, and in a stakes race where the top two both carry distance-change concerns, Miss Resilient offers a steadier profile as a show or trifecta anchor.

Grandfather Sir rates second at 61.03 and brings a remarkable streak: four in-the-money finishes from four dirt starts, with four consecutive placings heading into today. He's also gone four for four at Horseshoe Indianapolis specifically, which is as good a local track bias angle as you'll find. At 12/1 on the morning line, he's flying under the radar behind the heavy favorite — the place ticket here could offer genuine value.

Chief of Change rates third at 53.33 with two consecutive in-the-money finishes and a 100% in-the-money rate at Horseshoe Indianapolis. The concern is that he ranks 12th in recent race speed at 12.83 sec/furlong — he's not the fastest horse in the field — and his workout figures are middling. But a clean local record and consistent recent form make him a reasonable show selection or trifecta part at 5/1 on the morning line.

Appeazing rates second at 78.73 and matches Dreamy Druso exactly for recent race speed at 12.44 sec/furlong — a dead heat between the top two for in-race quickness. The Mendoza/Haran combination has connected at 18% wins and 53% ITM over the past year. She has one win and four in-the-money finishes from eight dirt starts, and at 7/2 on the morning line she's a legitimate place and exotic threat. The race likely comes down to these two.

Dreaming Bonita offers a strong show profile at 4/1 on the morning line. She rates third at 76.47 with nine in-the-money finishes from 13 dirt starts and has placed in four of her last six outings. Specifically at 5 1/2 furlongs, she's hit the board in two of three tries — good distance form. She's handled the right jockey in Joseph Romero, who grades C, which is the mild concern, but the horse's own record at this distance keeps her relevant in exotics.

Gv Medio Million rates second in the field at 66.76 and has placed in two of four dirt starts — relevant surface experience in a field where many horses have spotty or no dirt records. She carries a 50% career in-the-money rate and jockey Fernando Morin grades A. At 5/1 on the morning line she's a reasonable complement to the top pick and a logical place ticket in a short race where things happen fast.

Hf Arkansas Dave rates third at 64.60 with a 40% career in-the-money rate. Jockey Diego Villamil Bocanegra grades A- and there's no specific concern flagged for this horse in our model — a relatively clean profile by this field's standards. At 7/2 on the morning line he's attracting some market interest, and his overall profile makes him a reasonable show or trifecta fill behind the top two.

Ocean Master rates second in the field at 72.62 with a 33% career in-the-money rate. Jockey Diego Villamil Bocanegra grades A- and trainer Natasha Perez grades B — solid connections for a 330-yard sprint. There's no negative data flagged against him in our model, which stands out in a field where several horses carry notable concerns. At 8/1 on the morning line he offers real value for a place ticket if you're looking to build an exacta with the favorite.

Mg Gold Legacy Girl rates third at 67.16 and has the third-fastest recent race speed in the field at 12.13 sec/furlong. The concern is consistency — just one in-the-money finish from six recent starts and only one placement from five tries at this track. But at 7/2 on the morning line she'll likely be bet, and the speed figure gives her a legitimate shot to hit the board in a short, chaotic quarter-horse sprint where anything can happen.
