Remington Park Picks & Predictions — September 25, 2026

September 25, 20268 racesAll Remington Park picks

It's a cloudy Friday afternoon at Remington Park — 85 degrees and the kind of late-September Oklahoma weather that keeps the turf playing fair and the dirt track honest. Eight races are on the board today, split evenly between dirt and turf surfaces, giving handicappers plenty of angles to work with no matter which surface you favor.

The card has a little bit of everything: maiden claimers to kick things off, allowance spots in the middle rounds, and a pair of Allowance Optional Claiming races that set the stage before we close out with what looks like the marquee event of the afternoon. The turf is getting a full workout today — four of eight races are contested on the grass — so keep an eye on the turf form in your TrackWiz race cards.

First post is approaching, so let's break down what to expect and where the value is hiding today.

Best Bets

Race 1

11:30 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt

A wide-open maiden claimer at seven furlongs where two horses stand well clear of the field on TrackWiz ratings — but the morning line doesn't fully reflect the gap in quality at the top.

win7AroaML 3/1

Aroa earns the highest TrackWiz rating in this field at 87.08, a significant jump above everyone else in a competitive maiden claimer. Trainer Juliana Blandi Goncalves keeps it in the family with jockey Leandro D. Goncalves in the irons, a combo that often signals a horse pointed and ready. At 3/1 on the morning line, the price is fair for the class edge she shows, and seven furlongs on dirt should suit her running style. In a field where no one has broken their maiden yet, the horse with the most raw ability tends to get the job done.

place8Sunday Night CodeML 9/2

Sunday Night Code posts a solid 73.01 rating and draws jockey David Cabrera, one of the more active riders on the Remington circuit. Going off at 9/2 on the morning line, there's a touch of value here for a horse that figures to be forwardly placed and competitive through the stretch. With the top two separated from the rest of the field, this one makes a logical exacta partner with Aroa.

show6West Code LadyML 5/2

West Code Lady is the morning line favorite at 5/2 and checks in with a 60.39 TrackWiz rating — solid for this group, even if she trails the top two. Trainer Joe S. Offolter is a familiar name at Remington, and jockey Jose L. Alvarez knows how to get horses in position around the far turn. She's worth a spot in trifecta coverage as a horse the crowd will be on.

Race 2

11:58 PM EDT

Allowance · 1 mi · Turf

A turf mile allowance loaded with intrigue — the two highest-rated horses sit within a point-and-a-half of each other, setting up a potential stretch duel, while a 40% career winner lurks at a tasty price.

win7EireannML 3/1

Eireann tops the TrackWiz ratings at 87.08 and brings an impressive 37% career win rate to the table — meaning she converts over one in three starts, which is elite at any level. Trainer Mark W. Buehrer has a live one here, and Jose L. Alvarez gets the call in the saddle. The one-mile turf distance should play well for a closer profile, and a morning line of 3/1 offers reasonable value given the numbers.

place6Talkin CadeeML 2/1

Talkin Cadee is the morning line favorite at 2/1 and backs it up with an 85.76 rating and a field-best average speed figure of 55 — no one else in this field touches that number. Fernando Jara is a polished turf jockey and trainer Scott E. Young keeps a 25% career win rate, which is respectable. She's the speed of the speed here and will be tough to beat if she gets loose on the front end.

show5Floras OraML 9/2

Floras Ora jumps off the page with a 40% career win rate — the highest in the field — and a TrackWiz rating of 78.78 that puts her comfortably in the mix. Trainer Francisco Bravo also saddles Sangria Sunset, but Floras Ora is clearly the barn's stronger runner based on the numbers. At 9/2 on the morning line, she offers show-bet value and trifecta upside for those looking to spread.

Race 3

12:26 AM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

Another wide-open maiden claimer, this time at six furlongs, where three horses cluster near the top of the ratings but the gap to the favorite is tight enough to make the pace scenario matter.

win2Melly's BirkinML 5/2

Melly's Birkin is the TrackWiz top-rated horse in this field at 87.81 and draws a morning line of just 5/2, suggesting the crowd will be on her. Trainer J. Alan Williams gives jockey Lindsey Hebert the assignment, and Hebert's been a consistent presence at Remington. With an average speed figure of 53 and the best composite rating in the field, Melly's Birkin projects as the class of this maiden claimer.

place5Irish LassML 3/1

Irish Lass checks in at 82.35 on the TrackWiz scale with the joint-best average speed figure in the field at 54 — that raw speed edge matters in a six-furlong dirt sprint where the early tempo gets tested. Trainer Jerry Glen Stephens sends her out at 3/1 on the morning line with Emanuel Castillo Zabala up. If she gets a clean break, she'll be a live threat to upset Melly's Birkin and should absolutely be included in exactas.

show1Speaker BabyML 5/1

Speaker Baby rates third in this field at 70.83 and goes off at 5/1 on the morning line — a bit of an overlay given her position in the ratings hierarchy. Trainer Kevin Scholl uses Floyd Wethey Jr., a rider who grinds out wins at Remington. In a maiden field where chaos is always possible, Speaker Baby's rating cushion over the bottom half of the field makes her a reasonable show play and trifecta anchor.

Three races are unlocked and fully available to all TrackWiz readers today, covering a nice cross-section of the card. Race 1 goes 7 furlongs on the dirt in a Maiden Claiming field, where our top-rated horse Aroa opens at a fair 3/1 on the morning line and carries an 87.08 TrackWiz rating — solid for the conditions. Race 2 pivots to the turf for a one-mile Allowance, and Eireann matches that same 87.08 rating at 3/1 as well — an interesting parallel that suggests two well-matched favorites in very different spots. Race 3 brings us back to the dirt at 6 furlongs, and Melly's Birkin edges ahead of the pack with an 87.81 rating and a sharp 5/2 morning line that screams value if she runs to her number.

The connective thread across these three free picks is consistency — none of these are wild longshots, but none are heavy chalk either. They represent the kind of plays where the price and the rating align, which is exactly where we like to find our edge. Use these as a foundation for your early multi-race tickets and let the premium analysis build on top of them.

Full Card Analysis

Race 4

12:54 AM EDT

Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

This turf claimer at a mile and a sixteenth is headlined by a potential overlay — the highest-rated horse in the race is going off at 8/1, well below the chalk's price, which is where TrackWiz analysis sees the real value.

win3News At NineML 8/1

News At Nine is our top-rated horse in this field at 79.79, and the 8/1 morning line is a genuine overlay that bettors shouldn't overlook. Trainer W. Bret Calhoun has an enviable track record in turf routes, and Jose L. Alvarez is a capable hand for this kind of setup. The 23% career win rate is respectable for a claiming horse, and the distance — a mile and a sixteenth — favors horses with tactical speed, which this profile suggests. If the price holds into post time, News At Nine is the value play of the day.

place6CalibrateML 5/2

Calibrate rates second in the field at 69.73 and posts a 28% career win rate — above average for this claiming level. Trainer Robertino Diodoro doubles here with Mongolian Memory, but Calibrate is clearly the stronger of the two runners based on the TrackWiz numbers. Ramon A. Vazquez takes the mount at 5/2 on the morning line, and she figures to be forwardly positioned at the top of the stretch.

show7One Time MarkML 6/1

One Time Mark sits third in the field ratings at 66.20 and shares a 54 average speed figure with several other competitors — making pace dynamics tricky to parse. Floyd Wethey Jr. handles the riding duties for trainer Isaiah Ortiz, and the 6/1 morning line gives this one trifecta value without draining the ticket. In a turf route where trip luck matters, having this horse in your exotics makes sense.

Race 5

1:22 AM EDT

Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

A full ten-horse field in a 6.5-furlong dirt claimer creates a complex pace picture — with multiple speed figures bunched and a big outside draw, the horse with the best raw ability could cut through the traffic.

win10MumayazML 5/1

Mumayaz draws the 10-post but brings the highest TrackWiz rating in the field at 84.17 and a field-best average speed figure of 56 — tied with Steel Link and Speightsville, but Mumayaz's overall rating puts him clearly ahead. Trainer Ron Moquett gets a 10% career win rate from this horse, which sounds modest, but the raw talent is there. David Cabrera takes the mount, and if Mumayaz can navigate the outside post cleanly at the break, he's the class of this field.

place3InnovaML 5/2

Innova rates at 75.50 with a 22% career win rate and a consistent 54 average speed figure from the comfortable inside of the 3-post. Trainer Abel Ramirez-Rodriguez puts Ramon A. Vazquez up, a pairing that often finds good position in sprint routes. At 5/2 on the morning line, she's not an overlay, but she's legitimately talented and should press or stalk the pace to be in contention at the turn.

show9Dr. SoulfireML 8/1

Dr. Soulfire rates third in this field at 73.63 with an average speed figure of 55 and exits the 9-post — not ideal in a sprint, but Leandro D. Goncalves is experienced enough to compensate. The 8/1 morning line is attractive for a horse that sits in the middle of the top-rated tier, and trainer Steve F. Williams has him ready based on the form cycle. Worth a look in trifecta combos if the price stays honest.

Race 6

1:50 AM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 5 fur · Turf

The five-furlong turf sprint is packed at the top — three horses rate within five points of each other on TrackWiz, and a remarkable 58% career win rate on one of them makes this race trickier to fade than the morning line suggests.

win5Breakable CodeML 5/2

Breakable Code carries a staggering 58% career win rate — highest in the field by a wide margin — and backs it up with the top TrackWiz rating at 87.81. Trainer Joe S. Offolter puts David Cabrera in the irons, and this combo knows how to win at Remington. The five-furlong turf distance tends to favor sharp, experienced horses who know how to handle the short run to the first turn, and Breakable Code's numbers suggest exactly that profile. At 5/2 on the morning line, the price is fair for a horse with these credentials.

place3BalsaML 3/1

Balsa rates just behind at 85.13 with an impressive average speed figure of 57 — the highest in the field — which tells you this filly has serious raw pace for a five-furlong dash. Trainer Ronnie E. Cravens III goes with Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez at 3/1, and a horse with that kind of speed figure on turf can be very difficult to catch. She's the main danger to Breakable Code and worthy of exacta placement beneath her.

show4Gold FrontML 7/2

Gold Front sits at 84.40 on the TrackWiz scale — barely a point behind Balsa — and carries a 21% career win rate with consistent average speed figures of 55. Trainer Terry Eoff deploys Weston Hamilton at 7/2 on the morning line, which is a reasonable price for a horse that's always around at the finish. In a race where the top three horses are separated by only 3.4 rating points, Gold Front deserves trifecta respect.

Race 7

2:18 AM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 5 fur · Dirt

The five-furlong dirt sprint in Race 7 looks like a two-horse battle at the top, but the 44% career winner sitting at 5/1 could be the most dangerous horse in the field if the pace sets up right.

win4Papa KenML 2/1

Papa Ken is the class of this field with a 88.54 TrackWiz rating — the highest in the race — and an elite 37% career win rate that speaks to his consistency. Trainer Steven M. Asmussen is one of the most decorated conditioners in North American racing, and he keeps this in the family by deploying son Erik Asmussen in the saddle. The 2/1 morning line reflects the legitimate chalk position, and in a sprint where the fractions will be honest, Papa Ken's figures suggest he can press or control the pace and hold on.

place6Final StormML 3/1

Final Storm rates at 77.65 with a 20% career win rate and an average speed figure of 55 — competitive at this level. Trainer Justin R. Evans saddles this one with Geovanni Franco, and at 3/1 on the morning line, he's the logical second choice. A horse with this rating is capable of running down a tiring front-runner in a five-furlong dirt sprint, making him the ideal exacta partner beneath Papa Ken.

show3Dancin for GoldML 5/1

Dancin for Gold's 44% career win rate is the eye-catcher here — nearly half his starts end with a win, which is extraordinary. Trainer Terry Eoff sends out Floyd Wethey Jr. at 5/1, and the 70.38 rating combined with a 57 average speed figure — the best in the field — suggests this horse has plenty of raw ability. At 5/1, if the pace scenario collapses around him, Dancin for Gold could steal this race outright, making him the most interesting show-ticket play on the card.

Race 8

2:46 AM EDT

Allowance · 7 1/2 fur · Turf

An eleven-horse turf allowance at 7.5 furlongs with a prohibitive morning line favorite who dominates the ratings — but with this much traffic to navigate and a handful of intriguing overlays, the exotics could pay handsomely.

win6Killa SallyML 6/5

Killa Sally is a genuine standout in this field — her 89.71 TrackWiz rating leads the race by more than 15 points, and she's installed as the 6/5 morning line favorite for good reason. Trainer Kenneth G. McPeek is a Grade 1-winning conditioner who rarely ships to Remington Park without a horse he believes can win, and Stewart Elliott is a seasoned jockey who handles big fields on turf with aplomb. A 22% career win rate is solid in an allowance field this deep, and 7.5 furlongs on turf should play to her strengths as a trip-friendly closer.

place3LanaluahML 9/2

Lanaluah checks in at 74.15 on the TrackWiz scale with a 33% career win rate — strong for a horse going off at 9/2 on the morning line. Trainer Austin Gustafson sends out Ramon A. Vazquez, and this pairing has the tactical savvy to position off the pace in a large field and pounce in the stretch. In a chaotic eleven-horse turf race, a horse with a one-in-three win rate and solid ratings is exactly what you want underneath the favorite in exactas.

show4Bridie's LegacyML 8/1

Bridie's Legacy rates at 70.39 with a 33% career win rate — matching Lanaluah's win percentage — and David Cabrera takes the mount for trainer Michael E. Biehler at 8/1 on the morning line. That's a nice overlay for a horse with legitimate ability numbers, and in a large field where position and pace trips vary wildly, Bridie's Legacy offers trifecta and superfecta value that's hard to ignore. Consider using her wide in multi-race tickets.
