Remington Park Picks & Predictions — October 15, 2026

9 racesAll Remington Park picks

It's a wet Thursday at Remington Park — rain is falling and temps are sitting at 65°F, which means that Oklahoma dirt is going to be playing a different game than it does on a sunny afternoon. Nine races are on the docket, and the track condition story is going to run through every single one of them.

Wet-fast or sloppy? Either way, pace dynamics shift, closers can get a boost, and horses with prior experience on an off track become real factors. TrackWiz analysis has been filtered through that lens for the full card — and a few of our ratings reflect some notable upsets in the making.

Three races are free to all readers today, covering the early part of the card. The remaining six are unlocked for subscribers, including a turf allowance in Race 8 that you'll want to watch closely — assuming the turf course stays open with all this rain.

Best Bets

Race 1

Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

A wide-open claiming sprint with two clear TrackWiz standouts separated from the pack, but a competitive mid-tier makes this one tricky beneath the top two.

win8Bron and BrowML 5/1

Bron and Brow owns the field's highest TrackWiz rating at 84.17 — a significant edge over the next-closest rival — and the Steven M. Asmussen barn is never to be taken lightly at Remington. Erik Asmussen gets the call in the irons, keeping this a tight connections situation. With a 21% career win rate and a rating gap that speaks for itself, Bron and Brow looks like the horse to beat at a workable 5/1 morning line.

place9Vietnam VictoryML 9/2

Vietnam Victory brings a 26% career win rate — tied for the highest in the field alongside Sixhoofsevenhoof — and a TrackWiz rating of 73.43 that puts this one firmly in the second tier of contenders. Trainer Danny Pish has the horse positioned well at 9/2 on the morning line, and if anything disrupts Bron and Brow, Vietnam Victory is the most logical beneficiary.

show3Martini BluML 7/2

Martini Blu holds the field's top TrackWiz rating at 61.21, edging out the other mid-tier runners, and trainer Ron Moquett with David Cabrera up is a solid combination at Remington. The 7/2 morning line makes Martini Blu one of the shorter-priced horses in the race, suggesting the market also sees a place in the exotics here.

Race 2

Maiden Special Weight · 6 fur · Dirt

A first-time maiden field where TrackWiz analysis points to a significant longshot overlay — the top-rated horse opens at 15/1, setting up a potential value bonanza in the exacta.

win1Minnie's PearlsML 15/1

Minnie's Pearls is the top-rated horse in this maiden special weight by a clear margin at 64.43, yet the morning line has her pegged at 15/1 — that's a disconnect worth exploiting. Trainer Francisco Bravo and jockey Floyd Wethey Jr. team up on a horse whose TrackWiz rating meaningfully outpaces the field's next-best runners. In a wide-open maiden sprint where no one has won before, the horse with the biggest analytical edge deserves a serious look at double-digit odds.

place10Midnight TapperML 3/1

Midnight Tapper comes out of the powerful Steven M. Asmussen barn and is installed as the 3/1 morning line favorite, reflecting the market's respect for that operation. The TrackWiz rating of 56.67 places Midnight Tapper in solid contention even without a published speed figure, and first-out runners from this barn at Remington frequently run well fresh.

show6Golden HollyML 4/1

Golden Holly shows the field's top average speed figure at 55 among horses with published numbers, and Stewart Elliott is a reliable pilot who knows this oval. At 4/1, trainer Mindy J. Willis has this filly positioned as a logical exacta/trifecta piece if the top two meet expectations.

Race 3

Maiden Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

The Asmussen barn sends out two live entrants in this maiden claimer, but the top-rated horse carries a dominant edge over a field that otherwise lacks a true standout.

win1More CoffeeML 3/1

More Coffee tops this maiden claiming field with a commanding TrackWiz rating of 87.08 — nearly 17 points clear of the second-best horse — and trainer Steven M. Asmussen pairs with Stewart Elliott, a jockey who knows exactly how to get a horse home at Remington. The 3/1 morning line reflects the public's confidence, but a rating edge this large in a maiden claimer is not easy to dismiss. More Coffee's average speed of 54 is right in line with the competitive range of the field.

place6Melly's BirkinML 9/2

Melly's Birkin sits second in the TrackWiz ratings at 70.24 and posts a solid average speed figure of 54, giving trainer J. Alan Williams a legitimate contender at a generous 9/2 morning line. Jockey Lindsey Hebert gets the mount, and this filly's profile as a closer type could complement the pace scenario nicely if More Coffee draws out the early speed.

show7Cowgirl BuckarooML 7/2

Cowgirl Buckaroo carries a TrackWiz rating of 65.95 and the backing of the Asmussen barn with Erik Asmussen in the irons — that's a powerful one-two punch even in a maiden claimer. Listed at 7/2, this horse figures as a natural exacta partner with stablemate More Coffee, and the barn's willingness to run two in the same race usually signals confidence in both.

The first three races give us a nice cross-section of the card. In Race 1 — a 6½-furlong claiming sprint on dirt — Bron and Brow sits at 5/1 on the morning line and earns our top rating of 84.17 for the field. That's a horse we like as a value play before the crowd gets involved. Over in Race 3, More Coffee rates as the most confident free-race selection of the day at 87.08 — a maiden claimer at 3/1 who sets up nicely given the wet conditions favoring early pace control at this distance.

The wildcard is Race 2, where Minnie's Pearls catches the eye at 15/1 in a maiden special weight field. Her rating of 64.43 isn't the highest, but in a wide-open maiden sprint on a rain-affected track, longshots with the right pedigree for soft ground are worth a serious look. We'll get into the specifics in the race card — but don't dismiss her outright just because the morning line looks long.
