Remington Park Picks & Predictions — August 22, 2026

August 22, 202611 racesAll Remington Park picks

It's a scorcher at Remington Park this Saturday — partly cloudy skies and 95°F on the thermometer, which means the Remington dirt is likely to play fast and favor horses with early speed. Eleven races are on the card today, stretching from quick 5-furlong sprints all the way out to a mile on both dirt and turf.

The card has real range. You've got maiden fields trying to break their duck, claiming horses jockeying for position, and a pair of allowance races at the top of the card that should feature the best horses on the grounds today. Race 10's mile turf allowance, with Miss Code West heading our ratings, looks like the marquee event.

Three races are fully open — our free best bets are live right now for every reader. The remaining eight races, including both allowance events and the turf card, are available to TrackWiz subscribers. Let's get into it.

Best Bets

Race 1

12:15 AM EDT

Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

A nine-horse claiming sprint at 6½ furlongs where the morning line favorite is a significant rating underdog — TrackWiz numbers flip the script and point toward a pair of overlooked contenders going postward.

win5JoewillyML 8/1

Joewilly tops our TrackWiz ratings at 79.79, the clear number-one mark in this field, and posts the field's best average speed figure at 55. Trainer Boyd Caster sends him out at 8/1 on the morning line, meaning the public isn't fully on board yet — that's a gap we want to exploit. At 6½ furlongs on the Remington dirt, a horse with a pace edge and top figures usually gets there, and Joewilly fits that profile squarely.

place3Rusty GadgetML 9/2

Rusty Gadget checks in with a 70.76 TrackWiz rating, second-best in the field, and backs it with an average speed figure of 54 — one tick above the field median. The Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez ride is a positive, and at 9/2 on the morning line, there's still reasonable value if Joewilly runs the favorite off his feet on the front end.

show1Lazy Y GirvinML 5/1

Lazy Y Girvin draws post 1 with Fernando Jara in the irons and a solid 66.76 TrackWiz rating — third-best in the field. The 10% career win rate is modest but respectable for claiming company, and at 5/1 on the morning line, Jara's experience gives him a tactical edge out of the rail. A reasonable trifecta anchor for those building bottom tickets.

Race 2

12:41 AM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 fur · Dirt

A maiden special weight sprint at 5 furlongs where most of the field is debuting without a speed figure on the board — trainer patterns and workout signals carry extra weight when past performance lines are blank.

win7AngelforblueskiesML 5/2

Angelforblueskies leads TrackWiz ratings at 57.5 and is one of just two horses in this field with a recorded average speed figure, clocking in at 55 — the top mark among those with any data at all. Trainer Tristan Ashford sends her out at 5/2 on the morning line, and jockey Iram Vargas Diego is a sharp call for a debut runner. When a first-timer draws public support AND backs it with a top speed number, that convergence is worth respecting.

place3Real EyesML 7/2

Real Eyes is the other horse in this field with a betting quote under 5/1, sitting at 7/2 on the morning line with a 55.83 TrackWiz rating — slightly ahead of our win pick on the ratings scale. Trainer Victor Hanson saddles both Real Eyes and Optimize in this race, but it's Real Eyes who draws Floyd Wethey Jr. in the irons, suggesting barn confidence here. A strong place candidate who could easily steal the top spot.

show8EsperanzatosML 9/2

Esperanzatos rounds out our pick trio at 9/2 on the morning line with a 54.17 TrackWiz rating — modest but competitive in this maiden bunch. Trainer Juan Padilla has been a steady presence at Remington, and Jose L. Alvarez takes the mount, adding a reliable handler to an otherwise uncertain debut. In a field loaded with unknowns, a horse with a top-five rating and a competent connections team is worth slotting into your trifecta.

Race 3

1:07 AM EDT

Claiming · 5 fur · Dirt

This five-furlong claiming dash for fillies and mares has a class standout who looks significantly better on paper than her morning line suggests — the pace scenario could turn into a hot early duel that sets things up perfectly for a closer.

win2Reya SunshineML 4/1

Reya Sunshine owns a commanding 85.62 TrackWiz rating — well clear of the field — and her 23% career win rate is the highest among the top contenders. Trainer Steven M. Asmussen with Stewart Elliott up is one of the most formidable combos at any Oklahoma meet, and that pairing alone warrants attention. At 4/1 on the morning line with these figures, she represents genuine value in a field she appears to outclass.

place4Go PurpleML 3/1

Go Purple brings a 78.16 TrackWiz rating and an impressive 22% career win rate, and trainer Austin Gustafson has shown a knack for placing horses where they can compete. Ramon A. Vazquez gets the call from post 4, a clean outside draw that should allow for a stalking trip. If Reya Sunshine faces any early heat, Go Purple is perfectly positioned to swoop on the turn.

show6Miss SundazeML 8/1

Miss Sundaze is the price play in this race at 8/1 on the morning line despite holding a 76.14 TrackWiz rating — third-best in the field. Her average speed figure of 55 is tied for the top mark among the top-rated contenders, suggesting she can keep pace with the leaders. Jose L. Alvarez takes the mount for trainer Isaiah Ortiz, and at those odds she's an excellent show-ticket value and a live trifecta piece.

Our three free races today cover the first three on the card — all on dirt, all sprints, and all claiming or maiden company. That's not a bad starting point on a day where early speed figures to be king. On a hot, dry afternoon at Remington, the track surface tends to compact nicely and reward horses that can get position out of the gate without burning too much gas.

Joewilly in Race 1 jumps off the page at 8/1 morning line — that's a generous number for a horse with an 79.79 TrackWiz rating in a 6½-furlong claimer. Race 2 features maiden firsters on a short 5-furlong trip, where Angelforblueskies sets the pace for our analysis. And in Race 3, Reya Sunshine tops the board with our highest free-race rating of the trio at 85.62 — she's worth a close look at 4/1.

Full Card Analysis

Race 4

1:33 AM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 fur · Dirt

Another maiden special weight sprint where most horses are first-time starters with blank records, leaving the handicapper to lean heavily on TrackWiz ratings, morning line confidence, and trainer reputation to sort things out.

win6R J CodeML 2/1

R J Code draws the 2/1 morning line favoritism and tops our TrackWiz ratings at 58.33 in this maiden field. Trainer Juan Padilla sends him out with Javier Padron-Barcenas in the irons — a pairing that deserves respect at a track like Remington. With no speed figures on the board for most of this field, the public and our models are aligned here, and that kind of convergence usually means something in maiden sprints.

place3Poppin CloudsML 4/1

Poppin Clouds checks in at 55.0 on our TrackWiz scale and draws a favorable post at 3 with Richard E. Eramia aboard for trainer Joe S. Offolter. The 4/1 morning line suggests market respect without full favorite pressure, and in a 5-furlong dash where the pace can get contested, a horse with these credentials and a capable rider has a real shot to hit the board.

show1Out Dance EmML 5/1

Out Dance Em sits at 53.33 on our ratings with the rail draw, and trainer Scott E. Young is a known commodity at Remington Park who rarely wastes a debut entry. Floyd Wethey Jr. gets the call, giving this colt a veteran rider who knows how to manage a green horse out of the one-hole. At 5/1 on the morning line, she's a solid show-bet anchor and a trifecta inclusion for exotic players.

Race 5

1:59 AM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi · Turf

A one-mile turf claiming race headlined by a pair of horses whose TrackWiz ratings stand well above the rest of the field — this looks like a match race at the top, with one legitimate price angle lurking in the show spot.

win2News At NineML 7/2

News At Nine owns an 86.35 TrackWiz rating, the top mark in this turf field, and a 20% career win rate that backs up the model's confidence. Trainer W. Bret Calhoun is one of the sharpest conditions-race conditioners in the region, and Jose L. Alvarez pairs up from post 2 — a clean draw on a one-turn mile. At 7/2 on the morning line, this is genuine value for a horse who looks like the class of the field.

place3Whiskey Not WineML 4/1

Whiskey Not Wine rates a strong 80.89 on our TrackWiz scale and pairs well in this spot with Stewart Elliott in the irons for trainer Mindy J. Willis. Her 14% career win rate is solid for a claiming turf runner, and the 4/1 morning line reflects mild public skepticism that our numbers don't share. If the pace gets honest on the front end, she should be rolling late.

show6Tres SolesML 5/2

Tres Soles comes in at 74.19 on our TrackWiz ratings — third in the field — and trainer Robertino Diodoro consistently puts horses on the board at competitive odds. The 5/2 morning line is surprisingly short for a show pick, which tells you the market sees him as a factor even if our models rank him below the top two. Ramon A. Vazquez takes the mount, and in a one-mile grass race where pace can be unpredictable, Tres Soles is a smart hedge in the exotics.

Race 6

2:25 AM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi · Dirt

A one-mile dirt claiming event featuring a clear TrackWiz ratings standout going postward at a morning line that implies value — but a sharp, well-regarded morning line second choice makes this more than a one-horse race.

win3Austin CruiseML 5/1

Austin Cruise leads this field comfortably with an 84.17 TrackWiz rating and a 15% career win rate that translates well in this company. Trainer J. R. Caldwell gives the assignment to Rene Diaz, a reliable combination at Remington, and from post 3 Cruise should secure a comfortable position in the early going. At 5/1 on the morning line with these numbers, the value case is strong — this is the kind of horse our models consistently want to be on.

place5Twenty One SkidooML 5/2

Twenty One Skidoo rates a 78.17 on our TrackWiz scale and draws the 5/2 morning line, suggesting the betting market already respects her chances. Trainer Kari Craddock sends her out with Leandro D. Goncalves, and the 12% career win rate is workmanlike for a claiming miler. She projects as a stalker type who could be right there when Austin Cruise hits the lane.

show7HamlinML 4/1

Hamlin brings a 66.75 TrackWiz rating and the best career win rate among the third-tier contenders at 16%, which is meaningful in a claiming field. Trainer Robertino Diodoro consistently puts horses in position to run their best, and Ramon A. Vazquez takes the mount — a plus at any level. At 4/1 on the morning line, he's a natural exotic piece and a reasonable show bet for conservative players.

Race 7

2:51 AM EDT

Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

The morning line favorite in this 6½-furlong claiming sprint is a significant TrackWiz ratings underdog — our models identify a pair of overlooked horses who appear to outclass the chalk on the numbers.

win3Gold MesaML 6/1

Gold Mesa tops the TrackWiz ratings at 82.71 in a field where the morning line favorite checks in considerably lower on our scale. Trainer M. Brent Davidson sends her out with Deshawn L. Parker, and the 12% career win rate is solid for this level of claiming company. At 6/1 on the morning line, this is the kind of disconnect between public odds and model ratings that TrackWiz analysis is built to find — a legitimate win contender at a price.

place6Lasko LadyML 9/2

Lasko Lady rates 69.31 on our scale with a clean post draw at 6 and David Cabrera in the irons for trainer Allen C. Dupuy. The 6% career win rate is low, but the 69.31 rating suggests she's been competitive in her efforts even without piling up victories — a horse who hits the board more than she wins. At 9/2, she's a logical place play and an exotic inclusion.

show9Say as I SayML 8/1

Say as I Say comes in at 66.57 on our TrackWiz ratings with Weston Hamilton taking the mount for trainer Allen C. Dupuy — the same barn as Lasko Lady, which means connections will have a read on the pace setup. The 4% career win rate is admittedly thin, but the rating says she belongs in this field, and at 8/1 on the morning line she's a live trifecta horse for anyone willing to go a bit deeper.

Race 8

3:17 AM EDT

Claiming · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A 5½-furlong dirt claiming sprint with two horses tied at the top of our TrackWiz ratings — both at 84.17 — creating a genuine battle between a morning line favorite and a price runner our models like equally.

win4OuttaherwayML 5/1

Outtaherway shares the top TrackWiz rating at 84.17 alongside West Code Mischief but goes postward at 5/1 on the morning line while the other horse draws 2/1 — that's a meaningful odds gap for horses our model rates identically. Trainer Scott E. Young sends her out with Floyd Wethey Jr., a strong combination at Remington, and her 20% career win rate confirms she knows how to close out a race. This is a straightforward value play when the numbers say the favorite and the 5/1 shot are equal.

place7Bridie's LegacyML 4/1

Bridie's Legacy rates 77.64 on our scale with a 20% career win rate — one of the best conversion rates among the contenders. David Cabrera takes the mount for trainer Michael E. Biehler, and her average speed figure of 54 is right there with the top horses. At 4/1 on the morning line, she's a natural place play who projects to be involved at every point of call in a short sprint.

show1West Code MischiefML 2/1

West Code Mischief draws the 2/1 morning line favoritism and still carries a 71.81 TrackWiz rating with a 20% career win rate — respectable numbers for a claiming sprinter. Richard E. Eramia handles the riding assignment for trainer Joe S. Offolter, and her average speed figure of 54 keeps her competitive with the field leaders. She's the logical show anchor if you're building trifecta tickets, given her public backing and solid foundational metrics.

Race 9

3:43 AM EDT

Allowance · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

The allowance feature at 6½ furlongs features a morning line second choice who leads all comers on TrackWiz ratings, plus a significant longshot angle in the show spot that could pay handsomely in the exotics.

win9RoyalamericanML 3/1

Royalamerican tops the TrackWiz ratings at 86.14 and carries a 50% career win rate — an extraordinary conversion mark that demands attention. David Cabrera rides for trainer C. R. Trout, a combination with the experience to manage a horse with this kind of winning pedigree. At 3/1 on the morning line, the public is close to our number, but the career win rate here is so exceptional it still feels like the right side of the ledger.

place6Strong PotentialML 7/2

Strong Potential rates 82.36 on our TrackWiz scale — a close second to our top pick — and carries an average speed figure of 56, tied for the field's best. Trainer Steven M. Asmussen pairs with Stewart Elliott, a combination that consistently delivers in allowance company, and the 7/2 morning line reflects legitimate market respect. If the pace sets up for closers, Strong Potential has the figures to run right past tired horses in the stretch.

show4DoublecentsML 12/1

Doublecents checks in at 73.96 on our ratings — fourth-best in the field — but carries a 25% career win rate and an average speed figure of 56, matching the top horses on that metric. Trainer Brett Creighton sends him out at 12/1 on the morning line with Ramon A. Vazquez in the irons, and that odds disparity relative to his speed figures makes him a compelling exotic play. If the top two set a hot early pace, Doublecents with that figures profile is the exact kind of closer who can swoop late.

Race 10

4:09 AM EDT

Allowance · 1 mi · Turf

This one-mile turf allowance has a dominant morning line favorite who also leads all comers on TrackWiz ratings — but a powerfully-rated second choice nearly matches her, and a 8/1 price play rounds out a compelling exotics structure.

win4Miss Code WestML 9/5

Miss Code West leads this entire card's final races with an 87.4 TrackWiz rating and a jaw-dropping 73% career win rate — numbers that simply don't show up in ordinary allowance fields. Trainer Kevin Scholl places her at 9/5 on the morning line, and Floyd Wethey Jr. takes the mount with an average speed figure of 55 to back up the pedigree. When a horse combines the top rating, the top win percentage, and a top-flight jockey on the grass, the analysis is straightforward: this is the play.

place2La FantasticaML 7/2

La Fantastica is nearly as impressive on our scale at 86.35 — just one point behind Miss Code West — and trainer Steven M. Asmussen sends her out with Stewart Elliott on the turf, a pairing that excels in this format. The 18% career win rate is solid for allowance company, and her average speed figure of 54 keeps her competitive. At 7/2 on the morning line, she's the natural bridge between favorite and value in the exacta.

show8Practical DreamML 8/1

Practical Dream rates 61.12 on our TrackWiz scale — a meaningful step below the top two — but trainer Robertino Diodoro has a track record of producing sharp turf efforts, and Ramon A. Vazquez is a wise pick for a one-turn mile. Her 23% career win rate and average speed figure of 55 suggest she can keep pace with the leaders longer than her 8/1 morning line implies. A sound show-ticket addition and an interesting trifecta fill beneath the top pair.

Race 11

4:35 AM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi · Dirt

The closing mile on the Remington card is a deep claiming affair with eleven horses entered — TrackWiz ratings point to a clear standout, but a pair of double-digit longshots lurk in the supporting positions and offer real exotic value.

win5Vivir Con AlegriaML 5/2

Vivir Con Alegria owns the highest TrackWiz rating in this eleven-horse field at 87.81 — a number that would stand out in allowance company, let alone a closing claiming race. Tyler W. Bacon takes the mount for trainer Oscar Flores, and her 13% career win rate, while modest, is less important than the raw figures advantage she holds over this group. At 5/2 on the morning line, the public is already on board, but TrackWiz analysis confirms the market is pointing in the right direction.

place9WarhammerML 8/1

Warhammer sits at 72.63 on our ratings with a 13% career win rate and the best average speed figure among the supporting cast at 54. Trainer Miguel Angel Silva sends him out with Javier Padron-Barcenas from post 9 — an outside draw that should allow for a clean trip in a large field. At 8/1 on the morning line, the gap between his rating and his odds is exactly the kind of opportunity TrackWiz analysis is designed to identify.

show10Tis CharmingML 4/1

Tis Charming checks in at 71.3 on our TrackWiz scale for trainer Steven M. Asmussen, who consistently gets horses fit and ready to perform at Remington. Stewart Elliott takes the ride, and the 15% career win rate with an average speed figure of 52 puts her squarely in the competitive range for a closing claiming mile. At 4/1, she's the most accessible price in the supporting tier and a natural show-ticket anchor.
