Remington Park Picks & Predictions — October 14, 2026

October 14, 20269 racesAll Remington Park picks

Remington Park is open for business on Wednesday, October 14, and Mother Nature is making her presence felt. Rain is falling at 77°F, which means that dirt surface is going to play wet — and at Remington, a wet track almost always tells a story. Whether it turns muddy or sloppy, expect pace scenarios to shift and pace-pressers who can handle the going to get a serious leg up.

Nine races are on the menu today, stretching from 5-furlong sprints all the way out to a 1 1/16-mile turf closer in Race 9 — and yes, that grass race bears watching, because a wet rail can change everything out there. The card mixes maiden claimers, open claimers, maiden special weights, and an allowance feature in Race 8, giving bettors plenty of angles to work across multiple betting formats.

TrackWiz has broken down all nine races. The first three are on us — free to every reader. Races 4 through 9 are available to subscribers, and given the exotic opportunities this card presents, the full-card breakdown is well worth the look.

Best Bets

Race 1

11:30 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 5 fur · Dirt

A wide-open maiden claimer at five furlongs where the TrackWiz ratings reveal a clear top three, but every horse is winless — chaos is always in the air when debut runners and maiden veterans collide.

win4Satawa's EchoML 8/5

Satawa's Echo is the standout on our numbers, posting a rating of 59 that is a full six points clear of the next rival. Trained by Steven M. Asmussen, one of the most respected names in the game anywhere, this filly carries an 8/5 morning line that reflects the market's respect. Her average speed figure of 52 leads the field alongside Walk That Walk, and in a short five-furlong dash, that combination of class training and top-end numbers is a strong foundation for a first win.

place6Walk That WalkML 5/1

Walk That Walk (6) is right there on raw speed — matching Satawa's Echo with an avg figure of 52 — and her TrackWiz rating of 53.33 puts her solidly in the second tier. Trainer Mark W. Buehrer sends her out at a workable 5/1 morning line, which makes her attractive for exacta construction underneath or alongside the favorite.

show9Out Dance EmML 6/1

Out Dance Em (9) rounds out the TrackWiz top three with a rating of 51.67 and an avg speed of 52, putting her in the same speed cluster as the top two choices. At 6/1 on the morning line, she offers some value as the third wheel in a trifecta, and trainer Scott E. Young gives her a legitimate chance to hit the board in this maiden field.

Race 2

11:58 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi · Dirt

Two horses — Grace Given and Boltoro — are separated from the field by a massive ratings gap, setting up what looks like a two-horse battle for supremacy at a mile on the dirt.

win3Grace GivenML 7/2

Grace Given (3) carries the highest TrackWiz rating in this race at 85.01, a number that stands well above the rest of this claiming field. Jockey Tyler W. Bacon gets the call for trainer Oscar Flores, and while Grace Given's 8% career win rate is modest, the raw rating suggests she may have been running against tougher company previously. A mile on dirt suits horses who can relax early and finish, and at 7/2 on the morning line, there's still a fair price on what our numbers identify as the class of the field.

place6BoltoroML 5/1

Boltoro (6) is the other legitimate contender here, posting an 84.17 rating that keeps her right in the conversation. Rene Diaz picks up the mount for trainer J.R. Caldwell, and a 9% career win rate in claiming company hints at a horse who hits the board with regularity without always closing the deal — making her a natural place target. At 5/1 morning line, she offers solid value in exactas with Grace Given.

show8DonitaML 9/2

Donita (8) is the eye-catcher in the supporting cast, boasting a 25% career win rate — the best in the field — alongside an avg speed of 53. Mario Fuentes rides for trainer Miguel Angel Silva, and at 9/2 she's not a throwaway price. Her win percentage suggests a horse who consistently performs, and a show finish in this three-horse battle looks like a realistic outcome.

Race 3

12:26 AM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 mi · Dirt

A maiden special weight mile where Dan Golden and He's So Handsome are separated by less than a point on the TrackWiz scale, promising a genuine stretch duel between the two co-favorites.

win4Dan GoldenML 5/2

Dan Golden (4) tops our ratings in this MSW field with a 57.5 score, and critically he leads all horses with a 54 average speed figure — tied with Brother Benny but carrying a meaningfully higher overall rating. Trainer Kari Craddock puts Erik Asmussen in the irons, a rider who knows this circuit well, and the 5/2 morning line makes Dan Golden the public's choice for good reason. In a maiden special weight where breeding and works often dictate outcomes, the combination of top speed figures and a strong rating is the most reliable signal we have.

place9He's So HandsomeML 3/1

He's So Handsome (9) is right at Dan Golden's heels with a 56.67 rating, and despite a slightly lower avg speed of 52, he opens as the 3/1 second choice on the morning line — suggesting the clockers and insiders share our confidence. Ramon A. Vazquez gets the mount for trainer Austin Gustafson, and if Dan Golden gets pressured early, He's So Handsome's potentially more relaxed trip could position him for a strong late bid.

show3Breakin PassedML 9/2

Breakin Passed (3) sits third in our ratings at 54.17 and is the speed figure co-leader among the non-top-two horses with an avg of 53. Richard E. Eramia rides for trainer Joe S. Offolter, and at 9/2 on the morning line there's real show value here — especially in a maiden field where form can be unpredictable and the third spot in the trifecta is up for grabs.

Our three free races cover the first two legs of the card plus the opening maiden special weight at a mile. Satawa's Echo opens the day at 8/5 on the morning line in the maiden claimer over 5 furlongs — a short sprint where early speed can be pivotal, and a wet track that favors horses who break sharp and get to the front. In Race 2, Grace Given catches our eye in a one-mile claiming route, earning an 85 TrackWiz rating that stands out in this field — she's the kind of horse who can rate just off a soft pace and pounce in the stretch, which is exactly the pace scenario we're projecting today. Dan Golden rounds out the free trio in the Race 3 maiden special weight at a mile, sitting as the 5/2 morning line choice on a card where we want to be on horses with some class ceiling.

The connecting thread through these three free picks? Each figures to benefit from a pace meltdown if the rain continues to soften the surface. Horses that can settle, save ground, and fire late are built for days like this. Keep that angle in mind as you work the card.

Race 4

12:54 AM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 mi · Dirt

Volden dominates the TrackWiz ratings in this MSW mile, but a wide-open second tier — led by the Asmussen barn's Devilish Delight — keeps the trifecta wide open.

win10VoldenML 7/2

Volden (10) is the most dominant number in this race, posting a TrackWiz rating of 74.53 that sits nearly 18 points above the next-closest horse, Devilish Delight. Danny Pish sends her out with Lane J. Luzzi aboard at a 7/2 morning line, and an average speed figure of 54 ties for the field lead. In a maiden special weight field full of unknown quantities, a horse with a rating this far ahead of the competition is exactly the kind of angle TrackWiz analysis is built to surface.

place4Devilish DelightML 3/1

Devilish Delight (4) is the logical second choice — Erik Asmussen aboard for the powerful Steven M. Asmussen barn, and a 56.67 rating that places her clearly in the second tier. The 3/1 morning line reflects the barn's firepower, and while Volden looks hard to beat on numbers, the Asmussen operation at Remington is always dangerous. She's the natural place horse in exactas underneath.

show3SkylyftML 5/1

Skylyft (3) makes the show slot with a 53.33 rating and, notably, the highest average speed figure in the race at 55 — a number that could matter if this shapes up as a pace-influenced contest. David Cabrera guides her for trainer Austin Gustafson at a fair 5/1 morning line, and that raw speed figure is the kind of hidden edge that shows up in the TrackWiz numbers even when overall ratings don't scream top choice.

Race 5

1:22 AM EDT

Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

Jarvis Junction leads a deep, competitive claiming field at six and a half furlongs where three horses are clustered in the high 70s to low 80s on the TrackWiz scale — expect a battle from gate to wire.

win3Jarvis JunctionML 6/1

Jarvis Junction (3) leads our ratings at 82.71 and pairs that with the highest average speed figure in the field at 56, a combination that stands out in a distance where pure speed often dictates the result. A 25% career win rate is elite in claiming company — one in four starts ends in victory — and trainer Salvador Arceo gives Rene Diaz a live mount at 6/1, which represents solid overlay value given the ratings edge. If Jarvis Junction can get a clean trip from post 3, she looks like the one to beat.

place2Saint BenjiML 4/1

Saint Benji (2) is right behind on our ratings at 77.65, and the 20% career win rate matches the overall quality of the top portion of this field. Trainer Justin R. Evans puts Ronnie Huckaby on board at 4/1, and an average speed of 55 keeps Saint Benji firmly in the pace conversation at this sprint distance. With two horses from the same barn in the race (Saint Benji and Flashy Fritz), the Evans operation clearly likes their chances here.

show9Jalapena LenaML 9/2

Jalapena Lena (9) rounds out the top three on our ratings with a 76.35 score, and while her average speed figure of 53 trails the top two choices, she's proven she can compete at this level with a 16% career win rate. Stewart Elliott takes the mount at 9/2, and the show position in a three-way battle at the top of the ratings is a comfortable spot for trifecta inclusion and a sneaky hedge bet.

Race 6

1:50 AM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 6 fur · Dirt

Express Success towers over this eleven-horse maiden special weight field with a rating nearly 33 points clear of the next-best horse — one of the biggest single-race advantages we've seen all card.

win7Express SuccessML 5/2

Express Success (7) carries an 87.81 TrackWiz rating that is genuinely in a class by itself here — the next closest horse, Alma's Grace, checks in at 55.00. The Steven M. Asmussen barn sends her out with Erik Asmussen riding, a jockey-trainer duo that knows how to get the job done, and she opens at 5/2 on the morning line. An average speed figure of 55 is among the best posted in this field, and when a horse's numbers are this far ahead, backing her with confidence is simply good handicapping.

place9Alma's GraceML 4/1

Alma's Grace (9) is our place selection on the strength of a 55.0 rating — second-best in the field — and the backing of trainer Robertino Diodoro, who runs a sharp operation. Geovanni Franco takes the mount at 4/1, offering fair value for a horse who looks like the logical second-best on our numbers. She's a natural play underneath Express Success in exactas.

show11ShespendsmyluteML 5/1

Shespendsmylute (11) rounds out the top three with a 53.33 rating and draws Ramon A. Vazquez for trainer Robertino Diodoro — the same barn sending out place pick Alma's Grace, which suggests the stable is stacking live runners in this race. Without a posted average speed figure, her upside is harder to quantify, but in a wide-open race for the minor spots, Diodoro doubling up with two horses at 5/1 or better is a meaningful angle.

Race 7

2:18 AM EDT

Claiming · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

Music Mistress is a short-priced favorite but faces legitimate pressure from Woman's Intuition and Filly Crystal — three horses rated in the 74-81 range make this one of the most competitive races on the card.

win6Music MistressML 2/1

Music Mistress (6) tops our ratings at 80.76 and draws the Steven M. Asmussen barn with Stewart Elliott in the irons — a trainer-jockey pairing built for exacta-burning performance. She opens as the 2/1 morning line favorite in a field where several horses are closely rated, so the market respects her edge. An average speed figure of 55 is right in the mix for a five-and-a-half-furlong sprint, and a 16% career win rate, while modest, is backed up by a rating that says she's been running well against tougher horses.

place7Woman's IntuitionML 10/1

Woman's Intuition (7) is the standout value angle in this race, posting a 76.88 TrackWiz rating at 10/1 on the morning line — that's a massive overlay if the numbers hold. Trainer Scott Corderman sends out Ronnie Huckaby, and a 19% career win rate gives her legit credentials. A horse rated this closely to the favorite but going off at five times the price is exactly the kind of place bet that builds bankrolls over a season.

show2Filly CrystalML 9/2

Filly Crystal (2) is the third piece of this competitive puzzle with a 74.34 rating and the highest average speed figure in the field at 56, which could be a key advantage in a short sprint where early position matters. Tyler W. Bacon rides for trainer Justin R. Evans, and a 30% career win rate — best in the field — tells you this filly knows how to finish. At 9/2, she's attractively priced for the show spot and trifecta use.

Race 8

2:46 AM EDT

Allowance · 1 mi · Dirt

Kamikaze Cowgirl's top TrackWiz rating contrasts sharply with the 2/1 morning-line favorite Midnight Escapade, setting up a fascinating case where our numbers and the public's money point in different directions.

win1Kamikaze CowgirlML 5/2

Kamikaze Cowgirl (1) sits atop our ratings with an 87.81 score — the same elite number Express Success posted in Race 6 — and couples that with a 25% career win rate and an average speed figure of 55. Trainer Danny Pish puts Weston Hamilton aboard at 5/2, and in an allowance field that is supposed to be the toughest company outside of stakes races, a horse with those credentials deserves to be the selection. The fact that she opens second in the wagering despite leading our ratings by a significant margin makes the case even stronger.

place4IncreaseML 8/1

Increase (4) is the quieter contender at 8/1 on the morning line, but her 60.75 TrackWiz rating is the third-best in the field and pairs with a 25% career win rate. Trainer Tristan Ashford sends out Lane J. Luzzi, and for a horse going off at near-double-digit odds with solid underlying numbers, the place spot is a very appealing price. She's the kind of horse who gets overlooked because she's sandwiched between higher-profile stablemates and a big favorite.

show3Crowning VictoriaML 5/1

Crowning Victoria (3) has a 60.46 rating to go with a 33% career win rate — one of the stronger win percentages in the field — for the Asmussen barn with Stewart Elliott up. At 5/1 on the morning line, she's correctly priced as a legitimate contender, and for trifecta and exacta construction, a trainer of Asmussen's caliber rarely sends an unprepared runner into allowance company. The show spot is a comfortable projection for a horse this well-credentialed.

Race 9

3:14 AM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

Switching to turf for this maiden claimer at a mile and a sixteenth, Mr. J leads a packed twelve-horse field where the top four horses are all bunched between 76 and 86 on the TrackWiz scale — surface matters, and so does trip.

win7Mr. JML 4/1

Mr. J (7) tops our turf ratings at 85.62, the highest mark in a competitive field, with David Cabrera aboard for trainer Ron Moquett. An average speed figure of 53 is in line with the upper tier of this group, and at 4/1 on the morning line, the market is in reasonable agreement with our analysis. Turf maiden claimers can be particularly volatile, but when a horse leads the field by this margin on our ratings, backing the number is the disciplined play.

place11Game RunnerML 5/1

Game Runner (11) runs second on our ratings at 82.39 with Ramon A. Vazquez riding for trainer Abel Ramirez-Rodriguez at 5/1. His average speed of 53 matches the top tier, and in a twelve-horse turf field where pace scenarios can get complicated, a horse with strong ratings and an outside post might actually benefit from a cleaner trip through the first turn. The place spot aligns well with his profile as a horse who could be eyeing a first win in the near future.

show3Curlin's UnionML 6/1

Curlin's Union (3) rounds out the top three on our ratings at 76.49, with Erik Asmussen taking the mount for the Asmussen stable at 6/1. The Asmussen operation on turf is always worth respecting, and a figure that sits comfortably in the second group of this field makes Curlin's Union a natural show anchor for trifecta tickets. First-time turf runners with top barns are a classic hidden-value spot, and this one fits the profile.
