Penn National Picks & Predictions — September 3, 2026

I'm Unstoppable (No. 4) grades second in our ratings at 56.67 and carries an average speed figure of 54 — modest but competitive for a six-furlong dirt maiden. Trainer Charles A. DeMario has Angel Moreno in the irons, and the 3/1 morning line suggests the public is aware of this one's chances. She's a logical place piece in a race where the favorite is vulnerable to first-time debut unknowns.

Aunt Nan at 4/1 rounds out our show selection with a 55.00 rating and a 53 average speed figure — near the middle of the pack, but trained by Konstantinos Harigeorgiou who also conditions Eddie's Promise in this race. Running two horses in the same maiden field can be a deliberate tactical move, and Aunt Nan's rating gives her the edge over her stablemate. She's a sensible show anchor for the exotics at a fair price.

Maupansant grades second in the field at 72.08 and notches a 12% career win rate — respectable for the claiming ranks. Trainer Caitlin Keil has him in with Kevin Gomez, and the 3/1 morning line is a fair reflection of his chances behind a strong favorite. His 54 average speed figure matches several rivals, meaning he has the raw ability to be competitive for second. He's the logical backup in the exacta.

Atomico at 5/1 is worth including in the show position and exotics. He rates at 57.46, sits third in the field on our model, and his 54 average speed figure matches the place horse. Trainer Robert A. Wolfe Jr. deploys Yabriel O. Ramos in a five-horse field where the margins can be tight. In a short field on a route, it only takes a minor hiccup from the top two for Atomico to collect a check.

Mister Me is the morning line favorite at 9/5 with a solid 77.49 rating and a 28% career win rate — the best in this five-horse field. Trainer T. Bernard Houghton has him sharp with David Cora in the tack, and his 54 average speed figure is in line with the competition. The model has him slotted second, but his win percentage alone makes him dangerous on top and he's a must-use in the exacta.

Ortho Star grades third in the field at 63.34 and brings a 24% career win rate to a relatively short field. Trainer Timothy C. Kreiser has Edwin Gonzalez up — a rider who already has multiple mounts on tonight's card. His 55 average speed figure actually leads this field, and in a small five-horse spot at a longer route distance, closers with tactical speed can pick up pieces. At 9/2, he offers reasonable show value for exotic tickets.

Miss Mo Magic rates at 76.11 — second in the field — and also comes from the Jacinto Solis barn, which has multiple runners active on this card. Francisco Martinez gets the call at 9/2, and for a horse with a 53 average speed figure going routes, she sets up well for a place finish behind our top pick. In a five-horse maiden field, the top two rated horses finishing one-two is a very playable outcome.

Beau Hill heads into this race as the 3/1 morning line second choice, but our model actually slots him third at 64.62 — behind Tiz Awesome and Miss Mo Magic. Trainer Paulina Sinnefia has Edwin Gonzalez aboard, a rider who's been active all card long. His 54 average speed figure is the highest in this field, which suggests raw pace ability, and at the longer distance he may be able to sustain that into a show spot. He's a fine exotics inclusion.

Lafitte's Fleet rates at 62.15 and sits second in this small field, with an 11% career win rate and a 54 average speed figure that keeps him competitive. Trainer Bruce M. Kravets puts David Cora up — a rider who's had his hands on multiple horses tonight — and the 4/1 morning line is a fair price for a horse that figures to battle for second behind a heavy favorite. He's a logical place piece and exacta partner with Amusing Mischief.

Valore comes in third on the TrackWiz model at 51.63 with a 9% career win rate — the numbers aren't flashy, but in a five-horse field you only need to beat two horses to collect a show check. Trainer Charles A. DeMario puts Angel Moreno aboard, and Valore's 54 average speed figure matches the place horse. At 9/2 on the morning line, he offers reasonable show value in a card-closing sprint where anything can happen.
