Remington Park Picks & Predictions — August 27, 2026

10 racesAll Remington Park picks

It's a hot one at Remington Park today — 93°F under partly cloudy skies, and that Oklahoma summer heat is going to be a factor all afternoon. Ten races are on the board, mixing maiden claimers, allowance company, and a pair of Maiden Special Weight sprints that should draw some genuine talent. Turf shows up in three spots on the card, so keep an eye on the going — summer afternoons like this can firm up the turf course in a hurry, and that changes the game for closers and ground-sensitive types.

The card has something for everyone: short-field sprints where pace scenarios are straightforward, a pair of one-mile turf routes that could get tactical, and some wide-open maiden races where a TrackWiz longshot angle or two could pay off nicely. Ten races, plenty of angles, and a full day of action — let's break it down.

Best Bets

Race 1

Maiden Claiming · 1 mi · Turf

A maiden claiming mile on the turf with two standout TrackWiz ratings separating themselves from the pack — but with all horses winless, anything can unfold on the grass.

win8No Bull PeteML 5/2

No Bull Pete (8) tops our ratings at 86.19 and leads the field with the best average speed figure at 55 — a meaningful edge in a group where most are bunched at 52-54. Trainer Scott E. Young has two horses in this race, which suggests confidence in the barn's turf form, and jockey Lane J. Luzzi gets the call on the higher-rated of the two. At 5/2 on the morning line, Pete projects as a fair price for the class of the field.

place9Captain FlatterML 9/2

Captain Flatter (9) is the stablemate to look for in the exacta, posting a strong 84.90 TrackWiz rating — just a tick below No Bull Pete. Also trained by Scott E. Young, this barn clearly has a live turf string today, and at 9/2, Captain Flatter offers slightly better value than the top pick for multi-race wagers.

show5MagamakML 5/1

Magamak (5) is the one to beat from outside the top two, carrying a 66.88 rating that clears the rest of the field by a wide margin. The Steven M. Asmussen barn is always worth respecting, and Erik Asmussen in the irons keeps this a family affair — Asmussen horses on the turf at Remington deserve attention. Sneaking into the trifecta at 5/1 is a reasonable expectation.

Race 2

Allowance · 6 fur · Dirt

Six furlongs on the dirt in an allowance field that looks top-heavy — one runner owns a dominant TrackWiz rating and a career win percentage that puts the rest to shame.

win6From the Top RopeML 5/2

From the Top Rope (6) is the standout in this field with an 87.81 TrackWiz rating, comfortably ahead of every rival. The 37% career win rate is elite for this level — nearly four wins per ten starts is the kind of consistency that allowance conditions are built to reward. Floyd Wethey Jr. gets a live mount for trainer Scott E. Young, a combination that's been productive at this meet. At 5/2, the morning line makes sense, though we'd expect sharp money to compress that number further.

place2West Code MischiefML 7/2

West Code Mischief (2) checks in second in our ratings at 63.47 with a respectable 20% career win rate, showing he knows how to find the winner's circle. Richard Eramia aboard adds a jockey who knows this circuit, and the 7/2 morning line gives you a fair return if he runs second to the top pick. A logical exacta partner.

show4Cryptic MissML 5/1

Cryptic Miss (4) is intriguing as the Boyd Caster barn's second entry — Caster also sends out Devious Diva — and the 62.05 rating with an 18% career win rate makes her a legitimate contender at 5/1. She rates just below West Code Mischief in our numbers, and in a race where the top choice gets beat, she's a strong trifecta inclusion at a price.

Race 3

Maiden Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt

A maiden claiming sprint on the dirt where the morning line favorite isn't our top-rated horse — there's genuine value to be had if the numbers tell the right story.

win6Queen's EdgeML 3/1

Queen's Edge (6) tops the TrackWiz ratings at 72.52 despite going off at 3/1 on the morning line — a touch of overlay potential in a maiden field. Her average speed figure of 54 matches the top of this group, and trainer Ronnie E. Cravens III gets Mario Fuentes up, a solid combination at Remington. In a race where the chalk (Slighted) is rated over 14 points below our top choice, Queen's Edge deserves serious consideration at that price.

place2SlightedML 2/1

Slighted (2) is the morning line favorite at 2/1 with an Asmussen-Asmussen combination that commands respect — Steven M. Asmussen's barn wins at a high clip and Erik in the irons is a huge positive. The 58.33 rating isn't far off Queen's Edge, and if the pace scenario breaks right for the favorite, she could well reverse our ratings. A key place horse in the exacta.

show3Aloha TracyML 5/2

Aloha Tracy (3) rates very close to Slighted at 57.50 and brings trainer Robertino Diodoro to the table — Diodoro is one of the sharper conditioners on this circuit. The 5/2 morning line is fair, and with Ramon A. Vazquez riding, this filly gets every chance to hit the board. A natural trifecta inclusion in a closely contested maiden field.

Our three free previews today give you a look at both surfaces right out of the gate. No Bull Pete tops our ratings in the Race 1 turf maiden at 86.19 — one of the stronger free-race scores on the card — and with 93-degree heat potentially favoring the firmer portions of the course, pace control could be a real edge at a mile. From the Top Rope draws our attention in Race 2, an Allowance sprint on dirt where a sharp 87.81 TrackWiz rating makes this one of the most confident looks of the afternoon in our free picks. Race 3 brings a wider-open maiden claiming sprint, and Queen's Edge at 3/1 morning line is our top play — though with a 72.52 rating, this is a race where the exacta box might be smarter than a straight win bet.

The common thread across these free races: pace matters. The dirt has been playing typical Remington — speed-friendly in shorter sprints — so front-runners and pace-pressers deserve serious weight today. Don't overthink the surface reads on the free card; the heat is there but the dirt should be consistent through the early races.
