It's a wet one at Remington Park on Thursday, September 24. Rain is falling at 84°F, and that combination is going to test horses, jockeys, and handicappers alike. Any time the skies open up at a dirt-and-turf oval, you have to reassess everything — pace scenarios shift, turf races get complicated, and horses with a taste for off-track going move way up the ladder.

Ten races are on the menu today, spanning maiden claimers and maiden special weights all the way up to an allowance finale on the turf. Three turf events are carded, and with rain in the air, surface changes are absolutely on the table — something to monitor right up until post time. TrackWiz analysis has broken down the full card, and there's a lot to like today for both casual bettors and serious players hunting exotics.

Three races are free to all users — Races 1, 2, and 3 — giving everyone a solid foundation to work with before the card heats up. The remaining seven races, including some of the most intriguing spots of the day, are available to TrackWiz subscribers.

Best Bets

Race 1

7:30 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Turf

A wide-open maiden turf sprint with two standout ratings at the top of the field and a deep undercard of first-timers and lightly raced maidens — the top of the market looks beatable at value.

win2Authentic KittenML 3/1

Authentic Kitten tops our TrackWiz ratings at 87.08 in this maiden turf dash and draws the attention of the barn of Steven M. Asmussen, one of the most decorated conditioners in the country. Erik Asmussen is up in the irons, keeping it in the family and adding a layer of communication that often means a horse is well-prepped and ready to fire a big first effort. At 3/1 on the morning line, the market agrees this is the one to beat, and with a rating nearly 20 points clear of the next competitor in the field, the separation is real.

place6SwiftliketaylorML 4/1

Swiftliketaylor rates right behind the top pick at 84.43 and posts the joint-best average speed figure in the race at 55 alongside River Bomber — that early zip could prove decisive on a turf course where pace scenarios often favor horses that can sit close and pounce. Trainer Ronnie E. Cravens III sends out Swiftliketaylor with Deshawn L. Parker aboard, a solid local pairing that deserves respect at 4/1.

show1I Rest My CaseML 6/1

I Rest My Case is the third-rated horse in this field at 63.99 and opens at 6/1 on the morning line, making her an interesting exotic inclusion for players looking to build multi-horse tickets. Trainer Lyle D. Johnston has a live runner here, and with Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez — an experienced hand around Remington Park — taking the reins, there's enough upside to justify a show interest.

Race 2

7:58 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Two horses are separated from the rest of the maiden field by a wide margin in the ratings, setting up a likely two-horse battle for the winner's share at 6 furlongs on the dirt.

win3McKinsenseML 3/1

McKinsense earns a TrackWiz rating of 82.9 — the top mark in Race 2 — and draws the morning-line favoritism at 3/1. The horse posts the field's best average speed figure at 55, which is a meaningful edge in a sprint where early position can be everything. Ramon A. Vazquez has been a reliable pilot and trainer Steve Martin keeps a tidy operation; this one looks like the most logical winner in the race.

place6KochanML 6/1

Kochan is barely a tick behind at 82.71 in our ratings and opens at 6/1, which represents genuine value if the gap between the top two and the rest of the field is as real as it appears. Trainer Terry Eoff sends Kochan out with Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez in the irons — a familiar name in the Remington Park jocks' colony — and a solid effort in the place slot seems well within reach at that price.

show2Attack NowML 4/1

Attack Now checks in at a 55.8 rating and is the third choice on the morning line at 4/1, which makes the horse a reasonable show inclusion for players structuring exacta and trifecta tickets. Trainer Robertino Diodoro is a prolific winner on the mid-continent circuit and consistently competes with live entrants; don't overlook this one as a bridge between the top pair and the rest of the field.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 9 runners

The opening trio gives us a real cross-section of Remington Park action. Race 1 sends a turf field sprinting 7½ furlongs — keep that surface situation in mind if the rain intensifies, because a turf-to-dirt switch changes everything for a field like this. Our top pick Authentic Kitten (morning line 3/1, TrackWiz rating 87.08) stands out as the class of the group under the conditions as we know them now. In Race 2, McKinsense (3/1 ML, 82.90 rating) hits a straight six-furlong dirt maiden claimer — a race where pace shape on a wet track will matter, and early speed that can handle a softer surface should have a clear advantage.

The anchor of the free races is Race 3, a claiming route at one mile and 70 yards on the dirt — and this is the one that really grabs our attention. Tis Charming (8/5 ML, 89.12 rating) carries our highest rating of the free-race group and projects as a standout play in a race that rewards horses who can settle into a rhythm and close through the slop. If you're only playing a few races today, the Race 3 exacta deserves serious attention.

Full Card Analysis

Race 3

8:26 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi 70 yd · Dirt

The claiming ranks come out to play at a mile-plus on the dirt, and the top two in the ratings are clear standouts — but Tis Charming carries chalk and a question mark about whether the market price is worth chasing.

win1Tis CharmingML 8/5

Tis Charming leads the TrackWiz ratings with an 89.12 score and is trained by Steven M. Asmussen, who is on the short list of the best in the business for a reason. The horse carries a 14% career win rate — respectable in the claiming game — and with Erik Asmussen taking the call, the connections clearly like their chances. The 8/5 morning line is short, but the number backs it up.

place2Vivir Con AlegriaML 5/2

Vivir Con Alegria rates second in the field at 77.77 with a 12% career win percentage and the second-best morning-line price at 5/2 — making this a strong candidate to fill the place slot on the board at value. The slightly longer distance of a mile and 70 yards often suits closers who can build momentum, and Oscar Flores keeps a competitive stable at Remington. This one should hit the board.

show5Boca GuyML 5/1

Boca Guy slots in third in our ratings at 72.51 but carries just a 5% career win percentage, which tells you this is a horse who needs things to fall right. At 5/1 on the morning line, there's enough juice in the show pool to make Boca Guy worth including in exotics — trainer Lyle D. Johnston has a feel for placing horses effectively, and Ronnie Huckaby knows his way around the oval.

Race 4

8:54 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A wide-open maiden special weight sprint featuring multiple first-time starters with no speed figures on record — this one is going to come down to breeding, barn reputation, and educated guessing.

win6J J WarriorML 5/2

J J Warrior tops the TrackWiz ratings at 57.5 and comes out of the powerful Steven M. Asmussen barn, which alone demands respect in any maiden race at this level. Erik Asmussen gets the mount, and this combination of trainer and jockey sharing the same last name is no accident — when this duo rolls out together, the horse is ready. At 5/2 on the morning line, J J Warrior is the most logical play in a field with a lot of unknowns.

place10PowerchordML 7/2

Powerchord rates second in the field at 55.83 for trainer Justin R. Evans and opens at 7/2 — solid value in a race where we're all reading tea leaves. Evans has two runners in this race which speaks to barn confidence in their horses' readiness, and Jose L. Alvarez is an experienced hand who can navigate a first-time starter through traffic cleanly.

show5Famous SlewfootML 5/1

Famous Slewfoot checks in at 53.33 under the Asmussen umbrella — Stewart Elliott gets the mount as the second Asmussen string — and opens at 5/1, which is fair money in a wide-open affair. In a maiden special weight where barn power matters most, having two Asmussen horses in the field gives the stable an excellent shot at covering the board, and Famous Slewfoot deserves exotics consideration at that price.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 11 runners

Race 5

9:22 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

This turf claimer is a sneaky tricky race — the legitimate morning-line favorite rates third in our model, and a pair of longer-priced horses are pushing to the top of the TrackWiz ratings.

win6Shari's MagicML 15/1

Shari's Magic is our top-rated horse in Race 5 at 69.58 despite going off at 15/1 on the morning line — that's a significant gap between market price and our model, and it's exactly the kind of overlay that makes horse racing fun. The horse carries a 25% career win percentage, the best in the field by a wide margin, suggesting she wins when she's right. Trainer Scott E. Young and jockey Floyd Wethey Jr. team up here, and with a top rating and the best win percentage, this is a genuine value play on the turf.

place4Added TouchML 3/1

Added Touch rates second in the field at 61.65 and draws the morning-line favoritism at 3/1 — Erik Asmussen is aboard for Steven M. Asmussen, which is always a combination that commands respect. The 8% career win percentage is modest, but this is a claimer on the turf where consistency matters, and the barn knows how to spot their runners in spots where they can run well.

show11Dialing for DoughML 12/1

Dialing for Dough rates third in our model at 60.91 with a 14% career win rate and opens at 12/1 — this is a horse that could easily sneak into the exotics at a price that more than compensates for the risk. Trainer Jayde J. Gelner has Lane J. Luzzi up, and at a distance of 1 1/16 miles on the turf, a horse with experience at the trip has a built-in edge over less seasoned entrants.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 12 runners

Race 6

9:50 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Gorrono Ranch is a class standout in this six-furlong claiming sprint, carrying the top rating in the field by a meaningful margin — but there's depth here and the pace figures to get hot early.

win2Gorrono RanchML 3/1

Gorrono Ranch earns the top TrackWiz rating at 87.08 in Race 6 and posts the field's best average speed figure at 55 — in a six-furlong dirt sprint, raw speed matters and this horse brings it. The 11% career win percentage is fair for the claiming ranks, and with Erik Asmussen aboard for Steven M. Asmussen, the connections are at full strength. At 3/1 on the morning line, the price is fair for the best horse in the race.

place11Tate BatzML 4/1

Tate Batz checks in with a strong 78.58 rating and a 12% career win percentage, making him a legitimate threat to fill the place slot at 4/1. David Cabrera gets the mount for trainer Justin R. Evans — a stable that has been active and competitive at Remington Park — and the horse's average speed figure of 54 puts him in the mix with the top tier of pace setters in this field.

show4Gold MesaML 8/1

Gold Mesa rates third in our model at 73.53 with an 11% career win rate and goes off at 8/1, representing solid each-way value in a deep field. Trainer M. Brent Davidson has a knack for placing horses in spots where they can find the board, and Deshawn L. Parker is a capable pilot who can rate a closer and make a late run in a pace-heated sprint.

Race 7

10:18 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A tight battle at the top of the maiden claiming ladder — Metric Man and Eskimo Charlie are separated by less than a half-point in the ratings, setting up a fascinating battle at the top of the market.

win4Metric ManML 8/5

Metric Man tops the TrackWiz ratings at 88.08 and is installed as the morning-line favorite at 8/5, carrying the best average speed figure in the race at 54. Trainer Francisco Bravo sends this one out with Floyd Wethey Jr. in the irons — a sharp pairing — and in a field where many entrants show modest figures, that 88-point rating creates real daylight at the top. Metric Man looks like the most formful runner in the race.

place7Eskimo CharlieML 5/2

Eskimo Charlie rates a razor-thin 87.81 and is the second choice at 5/2 for trainer Steve Martin with Stewart Elliott up — one of the more experienced jockeys in this meet. The horse shows the field's best average speed figure at 55, meaning there's an argument to be made that the raw speed edge actually belongs to Eskimo Charlie, making the place position very natural if Metric Man gets first run.

show5DocketML 5/1

Docket sits well back in the ratings at 51.2 but offers a morning-line price of 5/1 and has an average speed figure of 53 — nothing flashy, but consistent enough for a show slot in an exotic ticket. Trainer Jaime Castellanos is a familiar name at Remington Park and Rene Diaz provides experienced handling; in a race where the top two are the clear standouts, Docket is a reasonable bridge into the lower trifecta positions.

Race 8

10:46 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A massive field of maiden special weights with a lot of first-timers and unknowns — Bon Voyage stands alone at the top of the TrackWiz model and draws justified favoritism on the morning line.

win9Bon VoyageML 2/1

Bon Voyage is the clear top rated horse in Race 8 at 58.33 — a meaningful lead over a field full of newcomers — and opens as the morning-line favorite at 2/1. The horse shows an average speed figure of 55, tied for the field's best, and trainer Justin R. Evans sends out David Cabrera in a combination that should be sharp and ready. In a maiden field this large and this thin on form, the top-rated runner with the best speed figure is exactly the kind of play that makes sense.

place6Celestial LawML 5/1

Celestial Law rates second in our model at 53.33 for trainer W. Bret Calhoun, a well-regarded conditioner who places his horses carefully. Jose L. Alvarez picks up the mount, and while the horse has no published speed figure, the 5/1 morning line and the second-best rating in the field make this a natural place play in a wide-open maiden special weight.

show5EverglowML 6/1

Everglow comes in at 51.67 in our ratings under the Asmussen banner with Erik Asmussen in the irons — in a field loaded with unknowns, the Asmussen name carries weight and often signals a horse that's been tested and developed properly at home. At 6/1 on the morning line, Everglow is a reasonable exotics anchor at the third position in a field where the top few horses are closely bunched in the ratings.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 12 runners

Race 9

11:14 PM EDT

Allowance · 7 1/2 fur · Turf

The allowance turf route in Race 9 is one of the deeper fields on the card, with six horses rated above 50 in our model — Nucleus is the class of the group but there's legitimate money to be made beneath the favorite.

win7NucleusML 9/2

Nucleus leads the TrackWiz ratings at 84.9 with a career win percentage of 40% — that's an elite strike rate that tells you this horse knows how to win when he's fit and placed correctly. Steven M. Asmussen sends him out with Erik Asmussen up, and at 9/2 on the morning line, the price is actually fair for a horse with that kind of closing punch. The 7 1/2-furlong turf trip is a distance that rewards horses with tactical speed and a reliable finishing kick.

place4Stoney Brick RoadML 4/1

Stoney Brick Road rates second in the field at 69.12 with a 15% career win percentage and opens at 4/1 for trainer Roger D. Neff with David Cabrera taking the mount. The horse also shows the field's best average speed figure at 55, which suggests a pressing or near-the-pace style that could prove ideal over this turf course. This is a genuine contender for the win that we're comfortable keying in place.

show11Kitty CodeML 7/2

Kitty Code checks in at 66.42 in our ratings with a 20% career win percentage and opens at 7/2 — making this arguably the best value in the race relative to the morning line given the solid rating. Trainer Joe S. Offolter saddles two horses in this allowance, and Richard E. Eramia aboard gives the horse a pilot with turf experience; Kitty Code is a logical show play and worth using underneath in exotics.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 12 runners

Race 10

11:42 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

The finale is a maiden special weight sprint full of first-timers and lightly raced fillies — the top of our ratings is compressed, making this a race where the morning-line leader may hold, but upset potential is very real.

win1Maricamp RoadML 3/1

Maricamp Road earns the top TrackWiz rating in Race 10 at 56.67 and draws the morning-line favoritism at 3/1 — Iram Vargas Diego gets the mount for trainer Robert A. Young, and while neither name dominates the leaderboard, the top-rated horse in a wide-open maiden sprint deserves first call. In a race where separating the field is difficult, trusting the model's top number is the sound approach.

place2Holy HaloML 4/1

Holy Halo rates second in the field at 55.0 for the Asmussen barn with Erik Asmussen in the irons — this duo shows up again at 4/1 on the morning line, and as noted throughout the card, when Steven M. Asmussen spots a first-time starter in a maiden special weight, he's done his homework. The narrow gap between Holy Halo and the top pick suggests a competitive race with both horses having a real shot.

show12Won Cyber LadyML 5/1

Won Cyber Lady rates third in our model at 53.33 with an average speed figure of 54 and opens at 5/1 — not a bad price for a horse that is in the conversation at the top of this compressed field. Trainer Juan Padilla saddles Won Cyber Lady with David Cabrera up, and in a maiden race where figure separations are small, a 54 speed figure and a reasonable morning line make this one worth including in trifecta construction.
