Penn National fires up a seven-race Tuesday card on June 2nd under partly cloudy skies and a comfortable 73°F — ideal conditions for the turf-heavy slate the track has put together today. Four of the first three races run on the grass, so surface form and turf breeding are going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting early.

The card is a nice mix of maiden races and claiming events, which means there's genuine uncertainty in several spots — and where there's uncertainty, there's value. Our TrackWiz ratings span a pretty wide range today, from the mid-60s up to 89-plus, which tells you some races are much more confident plays than others.

Three races are fully free to preview below. The rest of the card — including a dirt mile Starter Optional Claiming event and a pair of claiming sprints that have some real betting interest — is unlocked for TrackWiz subscribers.

Best Bets

Race 1

5:45 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 fur · Turf

A wide-open maiden special weight sprint on the turf where two horses separate themselves on TrackWiz ratings but several others could steal a piece at big prices.

win7Collected MistML 3/1

Collected Mist tops our TrackWiz ratings at 87.08 — a clear notch above the rest of this field — and trainer Kevin Monday sends her out with Eddie Jurado, a reliable Penn National pairing. Her average speed figure of 53 is competitive in this sprint, and in a maiden field where many runners are lightly experienced, that edge in readiness could be the difference. At 3/1 on the morning line, the odds aren't bloated, but the rating separation here is legitimate enough to make her the confident top choice.

place6ThisishowwedoitML 5/1

Thisishowwedoit rates second on our board at 79.48, sitting a full 7-plus points clear of Holly Ln in third — and actually has the field's best average speed figure at 54 heading into this five-furlong turf sprint. Jomar Torres gets the call for trainer Mark V. Salvaggio, and at 5/1 there's real place value here if the top pick falters. Don't sleep on this one in exacta combinations.

show4Holly LnML 2/1

Holly Ln checks in at 58.33 on our ratings and shares a 53 average speed figure with several rivals, but trainer Dimitrios K. Synnefias has her as the morning-line favorite at 2/1 — suggesting sharp support. Julio A. Hernandez is an active rider at the meet, and she fits neatly into the show slot as a hedge against the top two. Good ticket insurance in a maiden turf sprint with uncertain form throughout the field.

Race 2

6:15 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 mi · Turf

A twelve-horse maiden special weight mile on the turf with a clear cluster of contenders at the top and real separation from the bottom of the field — expect a pace scenario that favors closers stretching out.

win5Time for YouML 4/1

Time for You leads our TrackWiz ratings at 63.45 and carries an average speed figure of 54 — tied for the best in the field — with trainer John C. Servis, one of the more respected conditioners anywhere in the mid-Atlantic, sending her out for her shot at a maiden win. Frankie Pennington gets the mount, and at 4/1 on the morning line, the value is there relative to the rating edge. In a mile turf maiden with a deep field, a horse from a powerful barn with top figures is exactly the profile you want to be on.

place9ReppazzML 6/1

Reppazz slots in second on our board at 60.53 with a 53 average speed figure and a 6/1 morning line that offers genuine place value in a wide-open race. Trainer Juanita Bennett sends her out with Angel Cruz in the irons, and the rating suggests she's close enough to the top choice to land in the exacta regularly. A horse posting figures in the low-60s in a maiden field like this is one you want onside.

show3Marital TrustML 5/1

Marital Trust rates 58.54 on our model and matches Time for You's 54 average speed figure — she just might be a bit overlaid at 5/1 given trainer Arnaud Delacour's reputation for bringing sharp turf maidens. Jorge Ruiz has the call, and she's the kind of horse who can sit a perfect trip in a big field and pick up the pieces late. Round out your trifecta tickets with her name on them.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 12 runners

The free portion of today's card is anchored by a trio of maiden races across the first three, and there's a clear standout among them. Collected Mist opens the card at 3/1 in a 5-furlong turf maiden and carries our highest free-race rating at 87 — that's a strong number for this level, and the short turf sprint sets up for a pace scenario that should suit a quick, tactical type. In Race 2, Time for You stretches out to a mile on the turf at 4/1, though the 63-point TrackWiz rating is the lowest of the three free picks, so tread carefully and watch the morning-line movement. Sounds Like Fun closes out the free races in a maiden claiming mile on turf — the 3/1 morning line and an 85-point rating make this one a legitimate contender worth including in your early multi-race tickets.

With three of the first four races on the turf, early track bias reads will be critical. Watch those first-race results closely — if inside posts are grinding or the outside is flying, that information is worth its weight in gold for the races that follow.

Full Card Analysis

Race 3

6:45 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 1 mi · Turf

The maiden claiming mile on the turf is top-heavy, with three horses clearly outrating the rest of the field by a significant margin — the main question is which of the trio crosses the wire first.

win10Sounds Like FunML 3/1

Sounds Like Fun comes in with the second-highest TrackWiz rating in today's entire card at 85.28, and trainer Brandon L. Kulp is sharp at Penn National. She carries a 54 average speed figure — tied for the best in this field — and Angel R. Rodriguez, one of the busier and more productive riders at the meet, gets the call. At 3/1 morning line, she's actually not prohibitively short for a horse this well-rated against maiden claiming company, making her a strong win play.

place5Serendipitous BidML 6/1

Serendipitous Bid rates an impressive 82.71 on our model — second in this field — and also posts a 54 average speed figure for trainer Erin C. McClellan. She's going off at 6/1 on the morning line, which is real overlay territory for a horse rated this highly. Inoel Beato takes the mount, and if the top pick has any trouble at all, Serendipitous Bid is the most likely beneficiary.

show9Royal RenegadeML 4/1

Royal Renegade is the only horse in this field who has actually won a race before — a 9% career win rate is modest but it means she's broken her maiden at some point, giving her a class edge over first-time winners and zero-for-life rivals alike. Her 74.82 TrackWiz rating is third in the field and she has a 54 average speed figure to match the top two. At 4/1, she's a natural fit in the show slot and any exotic ticket should have her name on it.

Race 4

7:15 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi · Turf

A claiming mile on the turf where the top two horses on our ratings are separated by barely a point — this shapes up as a two-horse race with a pace question that could make or break the exacta.

win8She Is WiskyML 5/2

She Is Wisky tops our TrackWiz board at 86.33 and owns a 23% career win rate — the kind of consistent performer you want in a claiming field. Trainer Keri Brion is a name that shows up repeatedly on strong turf horses at mid-Atlantic meets, and Martin Chuan gets the call. At 5/2 morning line she's clearly well-regarded, and when a horse rates this high with a strong win record, you follow the data.

place5PemberleyML 9/2

Pemberley rates 84.90 on our model — just a whisker behind the top pick — and brings a 53 average speed figure paired with a 6% career win rate. Trainer Michelle Castillo has her loaded up with Wesley Ho in the irons, and at 9/2 morning line there's legitimate each-way value here. If the pace sets up favorably and She Is Wisky gets into any trouble, Pemberley has the rating to swoop in and grab a piece.

show1G's FireballML 7/2

G's Fireball checks in third on our ratings at 69.54 and has an 18% career win rate — the second-best in this field — suggesting she fires regularly when conditions are right. Her 54 average speed figure is actually the best in the race, and trainer Leandro Moreno-Barban sends her out from the rail at 7/2 with Wilfredo Corujo in the saddle. She's the logical show bet and worth including in trifecta combinations underneath the top two.

Race 5

7:45 PM EDT

Starter Optional Claiming · 1 mi · Dirt

A starter optional claiming mile on the dirt featuring a clear top choice at short odds, but two legitimate contenders underneath make the exacta and trifecta worth building around.

win4What Does It TakeML 7/5

What Does It Take is the standout of this race by a wide margin — a TrackWiz rating of 89.42 is the highest of any horse on today's entire card, and a 26% career win rate confirms this horse converts regularly. Trainer Brandon L. Kulp is having a strong meet at Penn National and Angel R. Rodriguez is one of the sharpest riders in the colony right now. Yes, 7/5 is a short price, but when a horse rates nearly 20 points clear of the third-best in the field, you respect the number.

place1Skimble ShanksML 3/1

Skimble Shanks rates 69.60 on our model — second in this field — and posts a 15% career win rate, showing he's competitive enough to hit the board consistently. Trainer Bruce M. Kravets sends him out from the rail position with Yabriel O. Ramos aboard, and at 3/1 on the morning line there's solid place value for a horse with this ratings profile. He's the most logical landing spot if the favorite has any trouble at all.

show5GenghisML 9/2

Genghis slots in third at 67.41 on our ratings and actually owns the best average speed figure in this field at 55 — an eye-catching number on the dirt. Trainer Timothy C. Kreiser gives the mount to David Cora, and at 9/2 morning line he's a fair show price for a horse who can clearly run. He's the kind of honest competitor who hits the board in starter optional claiming fields, and he rounds out the trifecta nicely.

Race 6

8:15 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

The morning-line favorite in this six-furlong dirt claimer is a significant upset target — TrackWiz analysis points to a 6/1 shot as the horse to beat, which sets up a juicy potential payoff in the exotics.

win6Stephanie My LoveML 6/1

Stephanie My Love is our top-rated horse in this race at 82.71 — more than 18 points clear of the next rival — yet she's listed at 6/1 on the morning line, which means real overlay potential if she goes off anywhere near that number. Her 53 average speed figure is the best in this field, and trainer Bruce M. Kravets puts David Cora on top — a combination that has been productive at Penn National. Backing a horse rated this far ahead of the field at 6/1 is exactly the kind of spot TrackWiz analysis is built to find.

place5Extremely GruntledML 5/2

Extremely Gruntled rates second at 64.24 on our board and carries a solid 11% career win rate for trainer Brandon L. Kulp, who also saddles the morning-line favorite in this race. Angel R. Rodriguez has the call, and at 5/2 she's clearly respected by the market even if our model thinks she's being overrated relative to the top pick. She belongs in every exacta underneath Stephanie My Love.

show3Let's Go MoML 4/1

Let's Go Mo checks in third on our ratings at 63.50 and lines up at 4/1 with Inoel Beato for trainer Erin Carpio. His rating trails the top two slightly, but in a seven-horse claimer on the dirt sprint, a horse this close in the ratings separation can absolutely land in the money. He's a natural fit in trifecta tickets and offers solid each-way value at the morning-line price.

Race 7

8:45 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi 70 yd · Dirt

The closing race on the card is a dirt route claimer with a clear top horse — but two big-priced horses rated nearly as high create a fascinating value puzzle in the exotics.

win2GanglyML 2/1

Gangly leads our TrackWiz ratings at 87.60 — the top number in this race by a meaningful margin — and backs it up with a 24% career win rate that shows he converts at a solid clip. Angel Cruz gets the mount for trainer Timothy C. Kreiser, and at 2/1 on the morning line he's the rightful chalk. His 52 average speed figure is competitive at this class level and distance, and there's no reason to run from the favorite when the data supports him this strongly.

place3Dynamite KarmaML 6/1

Dynamite Karma is the value angle in this race — rated 80.83 on our model, which would top most fields, yet he's going off at 6/1 morning line. His 28% career win rate is the second-best in this field and suggests he knows how to find the winner's circle. Trainer Leandro Moreno-Barban has Inoel Beato aboard, and at that price, Dynamite Karma is arguably the most attractive place bet on the card tonight.

show1ColomaML 8/1

Coloma rates 79.79 — just behind Dynamite Karma — and an eye-catching 30% career win rate makes her the most prolific winner in this field on a percentage basis. Trainer Bruce M. Kravets sends her out from the inside post with Ricardo Chiappe, and at 8/1 on the morning line she's a genuine overlay for a horse with that kind of win record and a solid ratings profile. Load her into trifecta tickets and consider a small win bet for the value alone.
