Remington Park Picks & Predictions — September 27, 2026
It's a big Sunday at Remington Park — 12 races, six of them stakes, and 88 degrees of Oklahoma sunshine baking the track under partly cloudy skies. Conditions look favorable for speed on the dirt, and the turf course figures to be firm and fast after what's been a warm stretch heading into late September.
This is one of the better local cards you'll see all meet. The stakes action runs from Race 5 all the way through Race 12, covering both surfaces and a wide range of distances — from a quick 5-furlong turf sprint in Race 10 all the way out to a mile and an eighth on the dirt to close things out in Race 12. There's something here for every type of player, whether you're grinding singles or looking to build a multi-race ticket around the stakes cluster.
TrackWiz has a full card breakdown ready. Races 1 through 3 are free for everyone — after that, the full analysis is available to subscribers. Let's get into it.
Best Bets
Race 1
Maiden Special Weight · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt
A wide-open maiden special weight sprint where no horse has a career win to their name — TrackWiz ratings separate the contenders, with the top three separated by just 2.5 points and the morning line all over the map.
Clear the Clock tops our TrackWiz ratings at 56.67 in this maiden field and draws the 7 post with Rene Diaz up — a solid combination for a 5½-furlong dirt sprint where stalking trips from the outside can be golden. The morning line agrees, installing this one as the 3/1 favorite. With no career starts for most of this field to dissect, the ratings edge is the sharpest signal we have, and Clear the Clock holds it clearly. Trainer J.R. Caldwell has a runner primed to show what the training tab has been hinting at.
Okie Dokie M rates second in the field at 55.83 and sits just off the top at 7/2 on the morning line with David Cabrera in the irons. Like our top pick, this one lacks available speed figures, so the TrackWiz composite rating is doing the heavy lifting — and it says this horse belongs near the top of the order. A place ticket here gives you solid coverage in what figures to be a bunched, unpredictable finish.
Congregant at 9/2 on the morning line posts a 54.17 TrackWiz rating — third-best in the field — and trainer Wade Rarick saddles Richard Eramia, a pairing worth watching in these maiden openers. In a race where the top four are tightly clustered on ratings, Congregant is live for a piece of the superfecta, and the 9/2 morning line means there could be genuine show-parlay value if the favorites cluster at the top.
Race 2
Maiden Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Turf
A maiden claiming route on the turf that has a clear top-rated standout but a deep secondary tier that makes exacta construction tricky — this is a race with a potential overlay hiding in plain sight.
No Bull Pete is a significant ratings standout in this field — an 85.62 TrackWiz score that towers over the rest of the entrants and comes attached to a 4/1 morning line that represents real value. Trainer Scott E. Young sends this one out with Lane J. Luzzi, and the 55 average speed figure is among the better marks in the field. Over 7½ furlongs on the turf, horses that rate this far ahead of the field in maiden claiming company tend to be well-meant, and our analysis says to trust the number.
Practical Purple rates second overall at 79.01 and is right in the thick of things at 6/1 — that's a meaningful gap below No Bull Pete but well clear of the rest. Trainer Austin Gustafson puts Ramon Vazquez aboard, and an avg speed figure of 52 is respectable for this level. The 6/1 morning line makes this an intriguing exacta partner if you're looking to build around the top pick.
Onthethirstyside lands at 74.26 in our ratings — third-best in the field — and Stewart Elliott takes the call for trainer Mindy J. Willis at a palatable 9/2. The 54 average speed figure is solid for a maiden claimer routing on the turf, and Elliott is a capable hand on green surfaces. This horse rounds out the show position nicely and is worth including in trifectas.
Race 3
Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Dirt
A six-horse claiming route on the dirt where the ratings favor the top three clearly, but the morning line sets up an interesting inversion — our top-rated horse is NOT the morning line favorite, which creates potential value.
Dbook leads all comers with an 86.35 TrackWiz rating, and here's the kicker: the morning line has this one at 7/2, meaning the crowd may be sleeping on the highest-rated runner in the field. A 23% career win rate is sharp for claiming company, and David Cabrera is a savvy pick in the irons for trainer Austin Gustafson. At 1 1/16 miles on the dirt, horses that show a 52 avg speed figure and a strong rating tend to have the engine to grind out a route distance — Dbook checks those boxes.
Twelve Volt is the morning line favorite at 4/1 despite rating second at 81.61 — the crowd clearly likes this one, and with an 18% career win rate alongside a Leandro Goncalves-Juliana Blandi Goncalves husband-wife training stable connection, there's a tight-knit partnership that can sharpen horses quickly. An avg speed of 53 at route distances is workable, and if Dbook hits any trouble, Twelve Volt is right there to swoop in for the top spot.
Daryl's Bolt comes in as the 5/2 morning line choice — the public's pick — but our ratings (78.17) slot this one third, making it a legitimate show candidate even if the win price won't excite. Trainer Robertino Diodoro is a recognized name who knows how to place horses, and a 13% career win rate is steady. At 5/2, the show price won't be much, but Daryl's Bolt landing in the money is a reasonable expectation.
Our three free races cover a nice spread: a maiden special weight sprint on dirt to open the card (Race 1), a maiden claiming route on turf (Race 2), and a claiming mile-plus on dirt in Race 3. TrackWiz analysis points to Clear the Clock as the play in the opener — a 3/1 morning line shot in a spot where debut runners with strong works can outrun their number. On the turf, No Bull Pete earned our top rating (85.62) going 7½ furlongs in the maiden claimer — a figure that suggests he's legitimately better than his competition. And in Race 3, Dbook leads our ratings at 86.35, making him our highest-rated free pick of the day in a 1 1/16-mile dirt claiming field.
The warm, dry weather should keep the dirt consistent through the afternoon — no bias concerns to flag early. Turf racing at Remington in these conditions typically rewards horses that can settle and close, so keep that in mind when framing your early exactas.
