Remington Park is open for business this Thursday afternoon, serving up a 9-race card under cloudy skies and a comfortable 78°F — the kind of fall weather that keeps the track playing fair and the speed figures honest. No rain in the mix means the dirt should be consistent all day, which is good news for pace handicappers looking to project splits with confidence.

Today's card is a nice mix of conditions — claiming races anchor the program, but we've also got a pair of Maiden Special Weight routes and an Allowance sprint in Race 8 that gives us a chance to spot some horses on the way up. The turf gets action in Races 4 and 7, and with no moisture around, the grass should be playing firm and true. That matters for pace and positioning on the turn.

Three races are fully unlocked for every TrackWiz reader, with our top picks in Races 1, 2, and 3 all carrying strong TrackWiz ratings in the mid-to-upper 80s. The full card — including a promising longshot angle in Race 6 and a pace-centric breakdown of the turf mile in Race 7 — is available to subscribers.

Best Bets

Race 1

7:30 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

A clear top-three separation emerges in this 6.5-furlong dirt claimer, with the morning line favorite backed by the meet's marquee barn — but the pace scenario could shuffle the order late.

win3GonnabeagooddayML 2/1

Gonnabeagoodday earns the top TrackWiz rating in the field at 88.54 and comes out of the powerful Steven M. Asmussen barn, one of the most consistently profitable outfits at Remington Park. Erik Asmussen climbs aboard, keeping the connections tight — always a positive sign when a trainer trusts family in the irons. At 2/1 on the morning line, the market agrees with our model, though the average speed figure of 54 is competitive enough for this class. If Gonnabeagoodday breaks cleanly and settles into a good stalking position, this race looks like hers to lose.

place2Uptono BuenaML 3/1

Uptono Buena posts the second-highest TrackWiz rating in the field at 81.3 despite a modest 5% career win rate — suggesting this horse has run well without always sealing the deal, a classic place horse profile. At 3/1, Ramon A. Vazquez takes the reins for trainer Abel Ramirez-Rodriguez, and the combination of a competitive average speed figure and solid rating makes Uptono Buena a strong candidate to fill the exacta.

show5Brody's ChromeML 9/2

Brody's Chrome rates third in the field at 79.94 and shares the top average speed figure in the race at 55, matching Gonnabeagoodday's best number. Jesse Oberlander sends this one out at 9/2, which represents a touch of value if the top two battle it out on the front end. A solid show option to anchor exacta and trifecta coverage.

Race 2

7:58 PM EDT

Maiden Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt

Wide-open maiden claiming sprint on the dirt where the morning-line favorite is also the TrackWiz top-rated runner — in a field of winless horses, the spread at the top of the ratings could mean a short-priced winner.

win8Shotgun SallyML 9/5

Shotgun Sally dominates this maiden field with a TrackWiz rating of 88.83 — comfortably ahead of the next closest runner — and draws the 9/5 morning line to reflect that standing. Jose L. Alvarez, a dependable hand in the Remington Park jockey colony, picks up the mount for trainer Mark W. Buehrer. Her average speed figure of 53 is in line with the top of this field, and in a maiden claimer where form is hard to read, having the highest model rating by a wide margin is a meaningful edge.

place2R J CodeML 5/1

R J Code checks in with a TrackWiz rating of 61.44, easily the second-best in this field, and gets Javier Padron-Barcenas in the irons for trainer Juan Padilla. The average speed figure of 52 is right in the pack, but the rating gap between R J Code and the horses below suggests this one has the form to secure a piece without needing to win outright.

show3BirchdaleML 4/1

Birchdale draws the 4/1 morning line and posts a 55.00 TrackWiz rating, slotting in as the third-ranked runner in our model. Trainer Victor Hanson sends this one out with Iram Vargas Diego aboard, and at a 7-furlong distance, a closet with stamina could pick up a check if the pace gets hot up front.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 8 runners

The first three races on the card form a solid foundation for the afternoon, and our free picks are about as well-supported as you'll find on a Thursday card. Gonnabeagoodday leads off in the 6½-furlong dirt opener (TrackWiz rating: 88.54) and projects as the class of a claiming field that figures to set up well for a presser. In Race 2, Shotgun Sally draws our top line in the 7-furlong maiden claimer at a morning line of 9/5 — she's the kind of figure-backed filly who fits the class level snugly. And in Race 3, Youramystyle stretches out to a mile and 70 yards, where our pace modeling gives her a clear edge in a field that looks a step slow up front.

The connecting thread across all three free picks: each horse projects to run to a pace scenario that suits their running style on a consistent, dry Remington dirt surface. If you're building a win parlay or a Pick 3 to kick things off, these are your anchors.

Full Card Analysis

Race 3

8:26 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi 70 yd · Dirt

A distance test at a mile and 70 yards favors horses with stamina and a clean trip — Youramystyle's standout win percentage and top rating make this feel like a race with a genuine class separator, but there's enough pace intrigue to keep the exotics interesting.

win4YouramystyleML 5/2

Youramystyle tops the TrackWiz ratings at 87.81 and backs it up with a career win percentage of 26% — best in the field by a comfortable margin and one of the better numbers you'll see in a claiming route. Ramon A. Vazquez is aboard for trainer Abel Ramirez-Rodriguez, who clearly knows how to get this horse to the wire. The 5/2 morning line is fair for a horse this dominant in our model, and the route distance at 1 mile and 70 yards should suit a runner with a high win rate built on grinding out results.

place5Justice DepartmentML 9/2

Justice Department is the Asmussen barn's representative in this race, rated 69.34 by TrackWiz with Erik Asmussen up. The 9/2 morning line offers a small overlay if Youramystyle dominates the market, and an 11% career win rate at route distances suggests this horse knows how to finish — making the place spot a realistic outcome.

show6Tres SolesML 4/1

Tres Soles rates third in our model at 68.40 and owns a 16% career win rate, matching Bender for the second-best win percentage in the field among the contenders. Lane J. Luzzi rides for trainer Tristan Ashford, and the average speed figure of 54 ties for tops alongside Parkway. At 4/1, Tres Soles makes a sensible show play and a trifecta inclusion.

Race 4

8:54 PM EDT

Claiming · 7 1/2 fur · Turf

This 7.5-furlong turf claimer is a premium race requiring a TrackWiz subscription — two closely matched horses at the top of the ratings make the exacta worth building around, while a pair of double-digit longshots add chaos potential on the lawn.

win4BelmiraML 3/1

Belmira tops the TrackWiz ratings at 86.96 and posts a 10% career win rate that's respectable for a claiming turf runner. Stewart Elliott, a seasoned hand on the grass, picks up the mount for trainer Mindy J. Willis. The 3/1 morning line is fair, and Belmira's average speed figure of 54 is tied for best in the field — on a surface where ground-saving trips and class can overcome pace shortcomings, the top-rated runner is worth siding with.

place7Runaway OkieML 4/1

Runaway Okie is just 1.34 rating points behind the top pick at 85.62, and the 18% career win rate leads all horses in this race — that's a strong angle suggesting this horse regularly runs competitive and knows how to find the winner's circle. Scott E. Young sends out Leandro D. Goncalves at 4/1, and the combination of near-top model numbers and the best win percentage in the field makes Runaway Okie a serious place contender.

show6Jalapena LenaML 9/2

Jalapena Lena slots in as our show selection with a TrackWiz rating of 73.60, clearly third in the field, and also posts a 15% career win rate — tied with Rockbar for third-best in the field but with far superior model numbers. Ramon A. Vazquez rides for trainer Sarah Nicole Davidson at 9/2 on the morning line, offering real value if the top two run each other into the ground.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 7 runners

Race 5

9:22 PM EDT

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

This six-furlong dirt claimer features a split between the top-rated runner and the odds-on morning line standout — Vaedra at 9/2 is actually the TrackWiz top pick, making her a potential overlay in a race where the betting public may line up behind the shorter-priced horses.

win1VaedraML 9/2

Vaedra leads the TrackWiz ratings at 84.90 and carries an 11% career win rate for trainer Michael E. Biehler with Weston Hamilton in the irons. The average speed figure of 55 is tied for tops in this field alongside Sleepy Rose — in a six-furlong dirt sprint, raw speed matters, and Vaedra has it. At 9/2 on the morning line, this is the definition of a model overlay, and she's the TrackWiz best bet in Race 5.

place6Paynter's PaletteML 5/2

Paynter's Palette draws the 5/2 morning line — shortest price in the field — but checks in second in our ratings at 78.74 with a 12% career win rate. Lane J. Luzzi rides for Scott E. Young, who's had his share of action on this card. The public money figures to make Paynter's Palette shorter than 5/2 at post time, but at a solid rating and with good tactical speed (avg figure of 53), the place spot is a likely outcome.

show4Lasko LadyML 7/2

Lasko Lady rates third at 68.74 for trainer Allen C. Dupuy, who also saddles Say as I Say in this race — a stable that clearly has a read on this class level. Jose L. Alvarez is up at 7/2, and a 5% career win rate means this horse often runs close without winning — which is exactly the show profile you want in a trifecta. A useful key in the third spot of your tickets.

Race 6

9:50 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 mi · Dirt

A maiden special weight mile on the dirt where no horse has won a race yet, the ratings are bunched tightly at the top, and the TrackWiz win pick is a double-digit morning-line price — this is the kind of race where the longshot play is built right into our top selection.

win1Sound of LuteML 10/1

Sound of Lute is our top pick despite a 10/1 morning line — the TrackWiz model gives this one the highest rating in the field at 58.12, a meaningful edge in a tightly clustered maiden field. Stetson Rushton sends out Ronnie Huckaby aboard, and the average speed figure of 52 puts Sound of Lute squarely in the mix. In maiden special weight fields where past performance is thin, model ratings carry extra weight, and Sound of Lute's edge at the top is worth backing at double-digit odds.

place7Fate of WarML 5/2

Fate of War draws the 5/2 morning line — shortest in the race after Desert Glass at 3/1 — and posts a TrackWiz rating of 57.50, just 0.62 points behind our win pick. The average speed figure of 55 is the best in the entire field, suggesting this horse has the raw ability to compete at the top. Rene Diaz rides for trainer Danny Pish, and the public will likely make Fate of War the favorite, so the place spot is a reasonable floor.

show6Desert GlassML 3/1

Desert Glass is the 3/1 morning-line choice and carries the Asmussen barn's colors with Erik Asmussen up — a combination that brings automatic market support. The TrackWiz rating of 56.67 ranks third in our model, but we note no average speed figure is available for Desert Glass, so we're going on rating alone. In a maiden field this uncertain, the third position in exotics for an Asmussen trainee is defensible coverage.

Live odds, scratches and ratings for all 8 runners

Race 7

10:18 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 mi · Turf

A full field on the turf mile sets up as one of the trickiest races on the card — the Asmussen runner tops our ratings as expected, but the 10/1 value play behind her carries a 16% career win rate that the morning line seems to be underestimating.

win6Added TouchML 5/2

Added Touch earns a TrackWiz rating of 85.71, best in this ten-horse turf field, and gets Erik Asmussen up for the powerful Steven M. Asmussen stable. A 5/2 morning line is fair, and the average speed figure of 53 is consistent with the competitive set here. On the turf mile, where pace and position are crucial, having the top-rated runner with a live jockey-trainer combo is a straightforward play.

place2I Rest My CaseML 10/1

I Rest My Case is the value angle in this race — a TrackWiz rating of 76.88 (second-best in the field) paired with a 16% career win rate, yet the morning line is a generous 10/1. Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez rides for trainer Lyle D. Johnston, and the average speed figure of 53 keeps this one right in the heart of the pace. A horse this well-rated at this price is exactly the kind of place overlay TrackWiz analysis is built to find.

show10Love That WitchML 3/1

Love That Witch rounds out our top three with a 73.33 rating and a 14% career win rate — useful form for a turf route. Jose L. Alvarez has the call for trainer Wade Rarick at 3/1, and the consistency suggested by that win rate makes this a reliable show candidate. Use Love That Witch underneath in your trifectas to keep a strong exotic ticket.

Race 8

10:46 PM EDT

Allowance · 6 fur · Dirt

This six-furlong allowance is a competitive sprint where win percentages look inflated across the field — several horses carry 50% or even 100% career win marks, likely from limited starts, so the TrackWiz ratings and speed figures do more of the sorting here.

win2Dear AdmiralML 8/1

Dear Admiral tops our picks at a TrackWiz rating of 65.21 and is one of two horses in this race trained by Austin Gustafson — a trainer who clearly knows this runner well enough to enter both stablemates in the same race. Ramon A. Vazquez picks up the mount at 8/1, which is a genuinely appealing price for our top selection in this field. The average speed figure of 55 is tied for best in the field, and if Dear Admiral runs back to form on the front end, this is a real overlay.

place5AirshipML 6/1

Airship rates second on our model at 64.33 and owns a 33% career win rate, which is legitimate production at the allowance level. Lane J. Luzzi rides for trainer Tristan Ashford at 6/1 — another fair price in a race where the public may gravitate toward the shorter-priced horses. An average speed figure of 55 (tied for best) suggests Airship can match strides with the top contenders through the lane.

show1John ElneighML 5/2

John Elneigh draws the 5/2 morning line and carries an eye-catching 50% career win rate for trainer Austin Gustafson — the same barn that runs Dear Admiral, which creates an interesting in-barn dynamic. Rene Diaz rides, and the average speed of 55 is right there with the top runners. The shorter odds mean the show return will be modest, but John Elneigh is a logical anchor in the bottom of any trifecta.

Race 9

11:14 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A twelve-horse maiden special weight sprint at 5.5 furlongs on the dirt is a chaotic closer to the Remington card, but Express Success stands head and shoulders above the field in our ratings — in a deep field of first-time or unproven runners, that kind of separation is meaningful.

win9Express SuccessML 5/2

Express Success tops this twelve-horse field with a TrackWiz rating of 87.81 — by a massive margin over the next-closest runner — and draws Erik Asmussen for the Steven M. Asmussen barn, the dominant training operation on this card. An average speed figure of 55 is the best recorded number in the field among horses with figures, and the 5/2 morning line reflects the market's confidence. In a wide-open maiden sprint, the combination of top model rating, top speed figure, and top connections makes Express Success the most straightforward play on the card.

place12Boulder DashML 4/1

Boulder Dash is our place selection at 4/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 55.00 — second-best in the field — for trainer M. Brent Davidson with Isaiah Wiseman up. No average speed figure is available, which introduces some uncertainty, but in a maiden field this large and this deep, the second-highest rating at a fair price is enough to merit the place spot in your exotics.

show10Wydont'ya WynonnaML 5/1

Wydont'ya Wynonna rates third on our model at 53.33 and gets Ramon A. Vazquez for trainer Austin Gustafson at 5/1 — a live jockey-trainer combo who have been active throughout this card. No average speed figure is available, but Vazquez's presence and the third-best rating in a twelve-horse field make Wydont'ya Wynonna worth including as show insurance and in trifecta construction.
