Remington Park Picks & Predictions — October 10, 2026

October 10, 20269 racesAll Remington Park picks

It's a gorgeous — and hot — Saturday at Remington Park. Clear skies and 86°F temperatures greet a nine-race card that leans heavily on the grass, with turf routes and sprints woven throughout the afternoon. That kind of firm, fast turf can be a great equalizer, rewarding horses with natural grass ability over raw speed figures alone.

Today's card is a nice blend of maiden claiming action to kick things off, a couple of allowance spots where class matters, and claiming races across both surfaces that should generate some real wagering heat. Three of today's nine races are available free to all TrackWiz users — a solid starting point for casual players before diving deeper.

Best Bets

Race 1

11:30 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

A maiden claiming field on the turf where zero career wins across the board creates a true question mark, but the ratings gap between the top three and the rest of the field is sharp enough to narrow it down fast.

win9SwiftliketaylorML 8/5

Swiftliketaylor draws the 9 post but owns the field's top TrackWiz rating at 89.12 — a meaningful separation from the next-best runners — and her average speed figure of 55 ties for the field's highest. Trainer Ronnie E. Cravens III sends her out as the 8/5 morning line chalk, which tells you the connections are confident. The 1 1/16-mile turf trip suits horses who can relax early and finish, and with no one else in this group showing a dominant pace profile, she should get a clean trip from the outside post. Jockey Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez climbs aboard a live favorite here.

place6Iona McKinzieML 4/1

Iona McKinzie posts a 79.95 rating — second best in the field — and trainer W. Bret Calhoun is one of the sharper conditioners on the Remington circuit. At 4/1 on the morning line, there's real value here if the favorite hits any trouble in a maiden field where unpredictable moves are the norm. She also carries a 53 average speed figure, right in the pack, meaning she won't be spotted much early.

show2AkkadeviML 6/1

Akkadevi checks in third on our ratings at 70.91, a solid step above the mid-pack and trained by Robertino Diodoro, who handles turf routes with confidence. Her 54 average speed figure is the second-highest in the field, giving her a legitimate speed edge to complement her rating. At 6/1, she's a reasonable exotics anchor who could easily hit the board in this wide-open maiden group.

Race 2

11:58 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi · Dirt

A dirt-mile claiming race with a genuine ratings cluster at the top, where Barbies Fury, Mrazek's Old Dream, and Tate Batz are separated by less than eight points — this one figures to be contested all the way to the wire.

win3Barbies FuryML 9/2

Barbies Fury tops our ratings at 84.90 for trainer Wade Rarick and carries a career win rate of 16% — sturdy for a claiming runner at this level. Her 53 average speed figure is respectable around one turn on the dirt, and jockey Richard E. Eramia gives Rarick a capable pilot who knows how to position on this strip. At 9/2 on the morning line, there's genuine value for a horse sitting at the top of the TrackWiz ratings in a field this competitive.

place8Mrazek's Old DreamML 7/2

Mrazek's Old Dream rates just a tick below the top pick at 82.87 and gets Geovanni Franco — the go-to rider for the powerful Robertino Diodoro barn — in the irons. The 3% career win rate is the one flag, but the rating and the trainer-jockey connection are hard to ignore; Diodoro doesn't waste Franco on soft spots. At 7/2, she could easily be odds-on by post time, making her a must-use in place exotics.

show2Tate BatzML 5/2

Tate Batz at 5/2 morning line sports an 11% career win rate and a 77.69 rating, putting him solidly in the third tier of this field. Trainer Justin R. Evans saddles two horses today — always worth noting as a sign of barn confidence — and Ronnie Huckaby gets the call, a rider who grinds out solid results at Remington. At the likely short price he'll go, he's best used as a show safety net in a potentially chalky tri.

Race 3

12:26 AM EDT

Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Turf

Expo City stands out as a clear class figure in this turf claiming sprint, but the rest of the field is bunched tightly enough on ratings that the exacta and trifecta underneath could go several ways.

win3Expo CityML 5/2

Expo City owns the field's highest TrackWiz rating by a wide margin at 87.81 — more than 37 points clear of the third-place horse — and Floyd Wethey Jr. gets the mount for trainer Dick Cappellucci, who also runs C.P.A. Jim in the same race. A 7% career win rate might give pause, but on the turf at 7 1/2 furlongs, speed figures and pace profile matter more than raw win percentage in claiming company. At 5/2 on the morning line, this is our top play with confidence.

place5RemittanceML 9/2

Remittance comes in with a 50.93 rating and an 11% career win rate, occupying the second tier of this field along with a couple of others. Trainer Mindy J. Willis keeps the horse in a similar spot she's competed at before, and Stewart Elliott is a experienced hand who can navigate traffic in turf sprints. At 9/2, she represents fair value as a place play behind the standout figure.

show7C. P. A. JimML 4/1

C.P.A. Jim rates at 48.85 — essentially a coin flip with Remittance for second-best — and the Cappellucci barn has two shots at the trifecta today, which can sometimes signal the trainer knows which horse fits the race best. Rene Diaz takes the mount, and at 4/1 morning line, Jim offers solid show value in trifecta construction. His 8% career win rate is modest but the class level and surface fit work.

Our three free races cover the first half of the card and offer a little something for everyone. Swiftliketaylor opens the day on the turf in Race 1 at an 8/5 morning line — she's our top-rated horse of the free set with an 89.12 TrackWiz rating and looks the part in this maiden claiming field. In Race 2, Barbies Fury shifts things over to the dirt for a one-mile test, a value spot at 9/2 on the morning line. And in Race 3, Expo City gets the nod on the turf sprint at 5/2 — a pace scenario we like given the expected early speed from the outside.

The throughline across all three free races: track conditions today favor closers on the turf (firm footing rewards ground-saving runs) and front-runners on the dirt where the track has been playing fast. Keep that bias in mind as you build your tickets early in the card.

Full Card Analysis

Race 4

12:54 AM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

A six-furlong dirt claiming sprint with a clear top-rated runner, but two other horses post win percentages north of 20% that could make this a tricky betting race if the chalk gets shuffled at the break.

win5Curlin's Lil GalML 5/2

Curlin's Lil Gal sits atop the TrackWiz ratings at 87.81 — equal to our Race 3 winner and a full 22 points above the next competitor — with a 22% career win rate that signals she knows how to finish the job. Rene Diaz gets the call, and at 5/2 on the morning line, this is a case where the numbers and the odds roughly align. The six-furlong dirt format plays right into her 55 average speed figure, which leads the field.

place6Shelley's MoneyML 3/1

Shelley's Money rates second at 65.88 with a 17% career win rate, and Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez gives trainer Oscar Flores a reliable partner in the saddle. She sits at 3/1 on the morning line — just a notch below the favorite — and her 54 average speed figure means she won't get buried in the early pace scenario. She's a natural place contender who should be prominent throughout.

show2Running CommentaryML 10/1

Running Commentary is the value piece here at 10/1 morning line, posting a 63.89 rating and an eye-catching 23% career win rate — the highest among the top three picks. Trainer Stetson Rushton saddles both Running Commentary and Lady Admiral, suggesting dual confidence in this barn's readiness today. The double-digit morning line price means the trifecta pays nicely if she sneaks into the top three.

Race 5

1:22 AM EDT

Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Turf

Saline River brings a standout 34% career win rate to a loaded turf field, but Goldbrick isn't far behind on ratings, setting up what could be a genuine stretch duel between two well-connected barns.

win1Saline RiverML 3/1

Saline River leads our ratings at 86.15 and sports an exceptional 34% career win rate — the highest of any top pick across today's entire card. Trainer Robertino Diodoro deploys Geovanni Franco, a combination that shows up consistently at Remington when the barn is serious. The 3/1 morning line is fair, possibly even a touch of value given the win percentage, and the 7 1/2-furlong turf distance suits a runner with Franco's ability to find the right spot early.

place10GoldbrickML 9/2

Goldbrick rates at 84.90 for trainer W. Bret Calhoun with Jose L. Alvarez in the irons — two names that consistently show up in the Remington turf money. A 15% career win rate and a 54 average speed figure keep her well within striking range, and at 9/2 she's a strong place play in what figures to be a close finish at the top. Calhoun's horses on turf routes deserve respect, especially paired with Alvarez.

show5Imua KaiML 8/1

Imua Kai checks in third among our picks at 76.51 with a 23% career win rate — genuinely competitive numbers in a 10-horse turf field. David Cabrera gets the mount for Matt Hebert, and her 55 average speed figure is among the better marks in the race. At 8/1 morning line, she's a juicy show component and a live ticket in exacta wheels if the top two hold form.

Race 6

1:50 AM EDT

Allowance · 6 fur · Dirt

An allowance sprint where the morning line favorite Rational Theory gets upended on our ratings by Lottery Ticket at 6/1 — fade the chalk and look for real value in this short but intriguing field.

win5Lottery TicketML 6/1

Lottery Ticket is our top-rated horse at 82.71 despite sitting at 6/1 on the morning line — a meaningful disconnect that creates genuine betting value. Her 22% career win rate holds up well in allowance company, and jockey Leandro D. Goncalves gets the mount for trainer Gwendolyn K. Crosser. The six-furlong dirt format suits her 55 average speed figure, which matches the best in the field. When TrackWiz ratings and morning line odds diverge this sharply, it's worth leaning into.

place1Rational TheoryML 6/5

Rational Theory is the 6/5 morning line choice and rates second on our board at 68.9, with trainer Steven M. Asmussen — one of the best in the game — pairing with son Erik Asmussen in the irons. A 14% career win rate is modest for an allowance horse at short odds, which is exactly why we're using him for place rather than win. At the short price he'll command, he's much better value to place than to win.

show2IntangibleML 5/2

Intangible slots into third on ratings at 55.19 for trainer Ron Moquett and David Cabrera, a combination with quiet competence. The 12% career win rate and 54 average speed figure are workmanlike, but in a five-horse field, the show pool can be thin and the price often inflated. At 5/2 morning line, she's a natural safety net for trifecta coverage in what looks like a compact race.

Race 7

2:18 AM EDT

Allowance · 1 mi · Turf

Lady of the Nile brings a 33% career win rate and the field's top rating into a nine-horse turf mile allowance, but at 5/1 she's technically a morning line price — the kind of overlay that makes allowance races worth attacking.

win6Lady of the NileML 5/1

Lady of the Nile tops our ratings at 84.17 with a 33% career win rate that ranks among the best on today's full card. Trainer W. Bret Calhoun teams up with Jose L. Alvarez — their second pairing today — and Calhoun's runners on Remington turf routes have a strong track record of delivering. The one-mile turf trip at 5/1 is the kind of setup where a confirmed winner at a price is exactly what you want, and the rating gap over the field is clear.

place3Killa SallyML 5/2

Killa Sally rates at 70.04 with a 20% career win rate and gets Tyler W. Bacon aboard for trainer Justin R. Evans, who's active on today's card with multiple runners — often a sign of a barn firing on all cylinders. At 5/2 morning line she's going to be a short price, but in a nine-horse turf mile allowance the place pool has room to pay. Her 53 average speed figure is the one mild question mark, but she rates clearly ahead of most of this field.

show5Channel CheckML 6/1

Channel Check checks in at 64.56 on our ratings with Geovanni Franco in the irons for the Robertino Diodoro operation — again, that barn doesn't mess around with filler entries. A 14% career win rate with a 54 average speed figure makes her competitive if she gets a clean trip on the turf, and at 6/1 she adds genuine show value in any multi-leg sequence. The Diodoro-Franco pairing is worth a small bet at any price.

Race 8

2:46 AM EDT

Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt

Get Her Number arrives as a dominant figure in an 11-horse dirt sprint, posting a rating that's 16 points clear of the field — but at 2/1 you're paying for that edge, which means the exacta underneath is where the real money lives.

win5Get Her NumberML 2/1

Get Her Number rates at 88.54 — the field's highest mark by a significant margin — and her 26% career win rate confirms she knows how to convert. Geovanni Franco gets the call for trainer Robertino Diodoro, and this combination has been money at Remington all meet long. At 2/1 morning line, the price is fair for a horse with this kind of rating advantage, and her 56 average speed figure — tied for the top mark in the race — fits the seven-furlong dirt format perfectly.

place7Midnight BossML 6/1

Midnight Boss rates second at 71.79 with a 15% career win rate and Floyd Wethey Jr. in the saddle for Dick Cappellucci's barn. Her 55 average speed figure slots her clearly in the second tier, and in a wide field like this, a horse who can find a clean trip mid-pack has a real shot to hit the board. At 6/1 morning line she's solid place value — especially as an exacta partner underneath the heavy favorite.

show8ParkwayML 10/1

Parkway sits at 58.96 on our ratings with a 14% career win rate and Tyler W. Bacon aboard for trainer Oscar Flores. The 10/1 morning line price makes her attractive as a show bet and a live bomb in the trifecta, where she doesn't need to win — just survive a contentious pace in an 11-horse field. Her 54 average speed figure is respectable, and if the pace up front gets hot between the speed horses, closers like Parkway get a free look at the board.

Race 9

3:14 AM EDT

Allowance · 5 fur · Turf

The final race of the night is a five-furlong turf allowance sprint with two horses nearly deadlocked at the top of the ratings — Penny Powers and Flat Out Kelce are separated by less than a point, making this a genuine pick-'em at the top.

win9Penny PowersML 5/2

Penny Powers gets the nod as our win pick with a 86.99 rating — the thinnest margin over second on the entire card — and she backs it up with an impressive 33% career win rate. Floyd Wethey Jr. takes the mount for trainer Scott E. Young, who also runs From the Top Rope in the race, showing dual confidence in his barn. Her 55 average speed figure is tied for second-best in the field, and at 5/2 morning line the price is workable for a horse with these credentials on the front end of a short turf sprint.

place4Flat Out KelceML 7/2

Flat Out Kelce is barely a step behind at 86.35 with a 28% career win rate — arguably the stronger win record in this field. David Cabrera picks up the mount for trainer Travis Swan Murphy, and her 55 average speed figure matches Penny Powers stride for stride. At 7/2 morning line, she's an ideal place play and could just as easily win this race; the two horses are close enough that we'd box them in exactas without hesitation.

show7Glory OML 6/1

Glory O brings a 66.34 rating and an eye-catching average speed figure of 56 — the best in the entire race — for trainer Mindy J. Willis with Stewart Elliott aboard. Her 8% career win rate is modest, but in a short five-furlong turf sprint, raw speed figures can override a lot of other factors if she gets loose on the lead. At 6/1 morning line, she's an attractive show bet and a legitimate pace factor who could steal this if the top two set each other up.
