Woodbine Picks & Predictions — June 7, 2026

Stratus is right there at 84.91 on the TrackWiz scale, just three points behind the top pick, and Rafael Manuel Hernandez takes the mount for the experienced Robert P. Tiller barn. The 2/1 morning line makes Stratus the public choice, so the place pool might offer a bit of compression — but this is clearly too talented to leave off your tickets. A legitimate win threat backing up as a place selection.

Silver Raleigh rates at 79.1 with Ryan Munger in the irons for Barbara J. Minshall, and the 3/1 morning line makes this the third choice in a race that could set up as a pace duel between the top two. If Somekinda Mischief and Stratus trade punches on the front end, Silver Raleigh has the rating to be right there at the wire. Solid exotics anchor.

Carnew logs an 80.77 rating and a 12% career win rate, sitting comfortably in second on our numbers for Fraser Aebly and the Stuart C. Simon stable. The average speed figure of 55 equals My Covenant's, which means if the top pick hits any traffic at all, Carnew has the raw speed to be right there. The 3/1 morning line makes this an excellent place play.

Sammysaurus Rex carries a 25% career win rate — tied for best in the field — and gets Emma-Jayne Wilson in the saddle for the Gordon C. Colbourne barn. The TrackWiz rating of 55.43 puts this one mid-pack, but the win percentage is hard to ignore in an optional claimer where proven winners matter. At 5/2, Sammysaurus Rex might be underrated by the raw ratings and worth including in the exotics.

Warhol leads the morning line at 2/1 and rates at 81.94 on our scale, bringing a 10% career win rate to the table. Rafael Manuel Hernandez is one of the sharper pilots on this card, and at five furlongs on turf, a horse with this kind of rating and an experienced jockey can be trusted to hit the board. Solid backing play beneath our top pick.

Cajun Influence rates at 77.53 with Pietro Moran up for Michael P. De Paulo, and the 33% career win rate stands out as legitimately impressive. The 6/1 morning line might underestimate how dangerous this horse is in a short turf sprint where pace can collapse quickly. An excellent show pick and a horse to consider in exacta and trifecta combinations.

War Legend checks in at 62.4 on the TrackWiz scale and draws the 3/1 morning line for Romero Ramsay Maragh and the high-profile Mark E. Casse barn. The average speed figure of 55 matches the top of the field, and Casse horses at this level deserve extra attention — the stable knows how to develop maidens. Good value on the place end if Mister Blue runs as expected.

Aterya rates at 51.67 for Leo Salles and trainer Sharon Ceccato and opens at 6/1 — a price that makes this an interesting exotics component. The average speed figure of 55 ties with the better horses in the field, which suggests Aterya could be closer than the odds indicate. Worth throwing in the bottom of your trifecta at this price.

Lively Up opens at 3/1 and rates at 56.67 with Sofia Vives for Saffie A. Joseph, Jr., another respected conditioner. No speed figure on file, which creates some mystery, but Joseph maidens that have shown enough in the mornings to draw a single-digit morning line deserve serious consideration. A smart play to back this one in the place slot given the trainer's track record.

Meet Me At Midnite draws a 4/1 morning line for Pietro Moran and Kevin Attard, rating at 55 — no speed figure available but the odds suggest the barn likes this one. Attard is a sharp trainer who knows the Woodbine circuit well, and at 4/1, there's enough price here to warrant a show bet or an exotics slot. Interesting third option in a wide-open race.

Thundermaker comes in at 83.2 on our ratings with Pietro Moran up for Kevin Attard and a 33% career win rate that holds up well in stakes company. The 9/2 morning line offers real place value — this horse is close enough to the top on our numbers that a head bob at the wire is entirely plausible. A smart play to pair with Highwaytothemoon in exactas.

Military Time opens as the even-money public choice, which means the market sees something that our ratings (79.85) might be slightly discounting. The 50% career win rate is the best in the field and for Mark E. Casse, that is no small thing. Fraser Aebly in the irons for the top stable in Canada — this horse will not go quietly and belongs in every exotic combination at seven furlongs.

Ever Dangerous rates at 71.82 and opens at 5/1 for Audrey Cheung, carrying a 20% career win rate across a career that suggests regular competitiveness. Note that program number 12 carries the same jockey name as program 1 — Rafael Manuel Hernandez — which could indicate a jockey change scenario worth monitoring before post. The rating and price combination make this a strong place selection in a big field on turf.

Crumlin Lad draws the 3/1 morning line — making him the public choice — and rates at 67.97, which sits just behind our top two picks. Eswan Flores takes the mount for Michael Wright, Jr., and a 19% career win rate at an average speed figure of 55 makes this a steady, professional type. In a twelve-horse field on turf, backing the public choice for show is a sensible anchor to your vertical exotics.

Master Steal rates at 74.52 — a solid 12-plus points behind Eubank but well clear of the rest of the field — and Luis Contreras takes the call for John Mattine. The 5/1 morning line makes this an overlay on our ratings, and in a race where Eubank could handle the win, Master Steal is the logical second choice in every exotic combination. Competitive average speed figure of 54 supports the case.

Up N the Ante rates at 55.83 and draws a 7/2 morning line with Skye Chernetz for Devon Gittens — a reasonable price for a horse that grades out third on our numbers. The average speed figure of 54 puts this one right in the mix with the better runners in the field. At a fair price, this is a logical show candidate and a useful exotics piece to close out the card.
