Woodbine Picks & Predictions — June 14, 2026

Sunday, June 14, 202610 racesWoodbine

Rain is falling at Woodbine this Sunday, June 14th, and that changes everything. With temperatures sitting at 64°F and the dirt surfaces absorbing steady precipitation, expect the main track to come up sloppy or muddy by post time — a factor that can flip a race result faster than any speed figure adjustment.

We've got a 10-race card to work through today, mixing claiming races, maiden events, and a pair of turf routes that'll be worth watching closely as track officials monitor the going. Wet-weather racing at Woodbine has its own rhythm, and TrackWiz analysis has flagged several horses whose form profiles scream mud pedigree.

Three races are open to everyone today, and our top-rated free pick — Waheela in Race 1 — checks in with an 87.81 TrackWiz rating. Later in the card, the day's highest-rated horse, William T (88.54), is lining up in Race 9 at 2/1 on the morning line. Keep that one circled.

Best Bets

Race 1

5:00 PM EDT

Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Dirt

Two TrackWiz standouts separate themselves from the field in this 1 1/16-mile claiming opener, but the morning line favorite and the top-rated horse aren't the same animal — creating a genuine debate at the top.

win6WaheelaML 5/2

Waheela earns the top TrackWiz rating in this field at 87.81, and at 5/2 on the morning line, that's a number we're happy to back. The 12% career win rate is solid for a claiming runner, and jockey Fraser Aebly gives this horse a competent hand around two turns on the Woodbine dirt. The pace scenario here looks manageable — Waheela figures to get a clean trip and fire late when it matters.

place4Rachael's WagonML 9/5

Rachael's Wagon is the morning-line chalk at 9/5 and carries a strong TrackWiz rating of 80.12, making her a logical place banker. Jockey Pietro Moran is a trusted hand in these spots, and while the 7% career win rate is modest, this filly profiles as the type to be there at the end even if she doesn't win outright. Solid underneath play in exactas.

show1You're So LuckyML 9/2

You're So Lucky (No. 1) is the sneaky third wheel here — a 16% career win rate that leads this entire field, paired with a TrackWiz rating of 55.14 and Emma-Jayne Wilson in the irons. The 9/2 morning line offers fair value for show purposes, and Wilson's familiarity with the Woodbine circuit makes this a reliable exotic inclusion.

Race 2

5:29 PM EDT

Maiden Optional Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

A wide-open maiden optional claiming sprint at 6½ furlongs with a full field of first-time or lightly raced runners — speed figures and trainer profiles will do the heavy lifting when form lines are thin.

win9Audi's WorldML 5/2

Audi's World tops the TrackWiz ratings at 57.81 and draws the outside post in a nine-horse field, which could actually work in her favor if the early pace gets hot. Trainer Kelly L. Callaghan teams with her son Slade in the irons — a tight family combo that can be sharp when pointed for a specific spot. The 5/2 morning line reflects public confidence, and our model backs it up.

place8RapporteurML 7/2

Rapporteur (No. 8) is right behind at a 55.83 rating and ships in at 7/2 under Sofia Vives. The average speed figure of 54 matches the top of the field, and in a maiden race where experience gaps are minimal, raw speed numbers carry extra weight. She's the prime exacta partner with Audi's World.

show2Go Go AlexanderML 5/1

Go Go Alexander (No. 2) checks in at 53.33 on the TrackWiz scale with a 53 average speed figure and gets trainer Tino Attard, a Woodbine mainstay who knows how to spot horses in the right spots. The 5/1 morning line offers show value, and in a field where no one has a win, this colt's underlying numbers make him a legitimate third-place threat.

Race 3

6:00 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 1/16 mi · Dirt

The morning-line favorite and the TrackWiz top choice diverge sharply in this maiden special weight route — Gelato carries the highest rating but goes off at 6/1, setting up a genuine value play against the heavily backed morning-line chalk.

win1GelatoML 6/1

Gelato leads all runners with a TrackWiz rating of 65.46 and yet gets dismissed at 6/1 on the morning line — that gap between public opinion and our model is exactly where value lives. Trainer Stuart C. Simon sends him out with Keveh Nicholls, a Woodbine regular who handles routes well. An average speed figure of 52 is respectable in this maiden company, and at a mile and a sixteenth, the extra ground could help him find his best stride.

place5Willful WarriorML 2/1

Willful Warrior (No. 5) is the morning-line favorite at 2/1 and has the Mark E. Casse/Pietro Moran combination — arguably the most dangerous trainer-jockey partnership on the Woodbine circuit. A TrackWiz rating of 58.33 is second-best in the field, and while our model likes Gelato more, Willful Warrior has the connections to outperform expectations. He's the place pillar in any exotic structure.

show6Powell RiverML 3/1

Powell River (No. 6) comes in at 3/1 with a 56.67 rating and the highest average speed figure in the race at 54. Trainer Katerina Vassilieva keeps the horse sharp, and Ryan Munger is an underrated rider who can steal a trip in a big field. If the pace sets up favorably, Powell River has the raw quickness to hit the board.

Today's three free races give you a solid cross-section of the card. Race 1 is a 1 1/16-mile dirt claiming route where Waheela (5/2 ML, 87.81 rating) enters as our top selection — a strong score for a claiming field, and the added moisture on the track could play right into her profile. Race 2 is a 6 1/2-furlong maiden optional claiming sprint on dirt, where Audi's World (5/2 ML) gets the nod in a wide-open field. Then Race 3 stretches the maiden special weight crowd back out to 1 1/16 miles, and we like Gelato at a juicy 6/1 morning line — that's the kind of price that makes the exotic tickets tick.

The common thread across these free picks? All three run on a dirt surface that figures to be playing differently than what most of these horses have seen recently. Trip handicapping — tracking how cleanly each horse gets into stride and avoids trouble — becomes especially important when the footing is compromised. Keep your eyes on early positioning out of the gate today.

Full Card Analysis

Race 4

6:30 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt

A five-and-a-half furlong maiden sprint loaded with first-time starters and lightly raced prospects — trainer power and workout intent will matter more than form lines here, and our model turns up a significant value overlay at 8/1.

win3American PopeML 8/1

American Pope (No. 3) is our top pick despite going off at 8/1 on the morning line, and that disconnect is the whole point — our TrackWiz rating of 60.41 leads the field by a meaningful margin. Emma-Jayne Wilson takes the call for trainer Paul McEntee, and the 54 average speed figure is the best posted mark among horses with any recorded figures. In a first-time starter sprint, horses that have already flashed speed in the gate have a clear edge.

place8Logan's ThunderML 5/2

Logan's Thunder (No. 8) is the Mark E. Casse entry at 5/2 and earns a 57.5 TrackWiz rating — the second-best in the field. Pietro Moran is aboard, giving this horse a pilot with serious closing ability in short sprints. Without a recorded average speed figure, there's some mystery here, but Casse doesn't send horses out without bullet works, and the market clearly respects this one.

show6PatriotwaveML 3/1

Patriotwave (No. 6) lands at 56.67 in the TrackWiz model with Rafael Manuel Hernandez for trainer Kevin Attard, another top-tier Woodbine barn. The 3/1 morning line suggests the public already likes this one, and without a recorded speed figure it's a projection play — but Attard's record with debut sprinters gives it credibility as a show anchor in exotics.

Race 5

7:00 PM EDT

Maiden Special Weight · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

The card's first turf test is a maiden special weight at 1 1/16 miles, and our model produces a strong overlay — the top-rated horse is 22 points clear of the morning-line favorite but goes off at three times the odds.

win5Lover Boy MoML 6/1

Lover Boy Mo (No. 5) is the standout in our model at 72.21, a number that sits well above the rest of the turf field, and yet the morning line has him listed at 6/1. Trainer Harold Ladouceur and rider Christoff Douglas are a quietly effective team when pointed at grass routes. An average speed figure of 54 — tied for best in the race — adds to the case, and the longer turf trip should suit a horse with his profile. This is the TrackWiz value play of the race.

place7Hello StrangerML 8/1

Hello Stranger (No. 7) is the longshot-to-place option at 8/1 with a 60.79 TrackWiz rating and Romero Ramsay Maragh in the saddle. Trainer Krista Cole is no stranger to spotting horses in favorable spots, and a 53 average speed figure is competitive on the Woodbine turf. At those odds, Hello Stranger offers outstanding place and exacta value.

show2SilversteinML 2/1

Silverstein (No. 2) is the morning-line favorite at 2/1 for trainer Josie Carroll and jockey Pietro Moran — one of the elite combinations on this circuit. The 58.33 TrackWiz rating and a field-best 55 average speed figure mean this horse won't be far back, even if our model prefers others. As a show anchor, Silverstein is the safest ticket in the race.

Race 6

7:30 PM EDT

Maiden Optional Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Dirt

This maiden optional claiming route at 1 1/16 miles features a field-dominating TrackWiz rating for one horse, but a live longshot lurks underneath at 8/1 with intriguing underlying numbers.

win6Maker's FlatterML 3/1

Maker's Flatter (No. 6) has a TrackWiz rating of 87.08 that towers over this maiden field — the next-closest rated horse is nearly 26 points back. Trainer Michael P. De Paulo sends out Eswan Flores, and while an average speed figure of 51 isn't flashy, the model's confidence in this horse is hard to ignore. At 3/1 on the morning line, Maker's Flatter is the most supported horse in the race and our clear top choice.

place8Toronto CityML 8/1

Toronto City (No. 8) earns a 61.46 TrackWiz rating — second-best in the field — and gets Kemarie Blackett for trainer Cleveland A. Gordon. The 53 average speed figure matches the field average, and in a maiden race at this distance, consistency and stamina matter more than peak speed. At 8/1 on the morning line, Toronto City has legitimate place upside if Maker's Flatter handles all the pressure.

show4Tiz the PowerML 10/1

Tiz the Power (No. 4) checks in at 56.32 in our model and gets a double-digit morning line at 10/1, which makes the show price attractive in multi-race wagers. Rider Xarel Forde works for trainer Michael Mattine, and while the 50 average speed figure is the lowest among our top picks here, the TrackWiz rating keeps this horse in play as a third-call option in exactas and trifectas.

Race 7

8:00 PM EDT

Optional Claiming · 7 fur · Dirt

A compelling optional claiming sprint at seven furlongs features two horses with strong TrackWiz ratings — but our model also uncovers a massive value play at 10/1 with a career win percentage that jumps off the page.

win1Lean Music MachineML 5/2

Lean Music Machine (No. 1) leads our model at 79.25 and goes off at a reasonable 5/2 morning line with Eswan Flores for trainer Devon Gittens. The 54 average speed figure is tied for tops in the race, and in a seven-furlong sprint, speed from the one hole can be a weapon if the pace unfolds cleanly. A 5% career win rate is modest, but our composite rating says this horse is at the top of his game right now.

place6Call Me BondML 10/1

Call Me Bond (No. 6) is the value standout in this race — a 76.88 TrackWiz rating paired with an eye-popping 33% career win rate at 10/1 on the morning line. Trainer Marjorie A. Paterson and jockey Jodeien Anderson aren't household names, but that 33% win rate for Call Me Bond is the kind of stat that demands attention. If this horse fires his best, 10-1 is a gift.

show4Paradise PerfectML 3/1

Paradise Perfect (No. 4) sits at 65.92 in the TrackWiz model with Romero Ramsay Maragh taking over for trainer Krista Cole. The 53 average speed figure is competitive in this spot, and Maragh is one of the top jockeys at Woodbine who consistently gets the most out of horses in optional claiming company. The 3/1 morning line makes Paradise Perfect the show pillar of any trifecta.

Race 8

8:30 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 1 1/16 mi · Turf

A loaded allowance optional claiming field on the Woodbine turf, headlined by two horses within a razor-thin margin at the top of the TrackWiz model — this one could come down to a photo at the wire.

win5RomanticaML 5/2

Romantica (No. 5) tops the field with a 87.81 TrackWiz rating and gets the powerful Casse/Maragh combination — Mark E. Casse and Romero Ramsay Maragh are as dangerous as it gets on this circuit. A 33% career win rate and an average speed figure of 54 round out a profile that's hard to argue against at 5/2. On Woodbine's turf course at 1 1/16 miles, Casse horses with grass form are consistently live.

place7Crystal VisionsML 2/1

Crystal Visions (No. 7) is virtually tied with our win pick at 87.26 in the TrackWiz model, and at 2/1 she's actually the morning-line favorite. Trainer Stuart C. Simon and Keveh Nicholls form a capable team, and a 16% career win rate in allowance company shows this filly can compete. The gap between these two horses is minimal — she's the safest place ticket on the card.

show3DesignML 6/1

Design (No. 3) brings a 33% career win rate and a 69.85 TrackWiz rating to the table, backed by Rafael Manuel Hernandez for trainer Michael Wright, Jr. The 54 average speed figure matches the top horses in this field, and at 6/1, Design offers genuine show value while also being dangerous if the two favorites cancel each other out. Don't overlook her in trifecta and superfecta boxes.

Race 9

9:00 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt

The evening's allowance optional claiming sprint at 6½ furlongs features the card's highest single-horse TrackWiz rating, but the most intriguing stat in the race belongs to a horse going off at double-digit odds.

win4William TML 2/1

William T (No. 4) posts a field-best 88.54 TrackWiz rating and goes off at 2/1 for trainer Donald C. MacRae with Fraser Aebly in the irons. A 16% career win rate is solid in allowance sprints, and an average speed figure of 53 keeps pace with the field. The model's confidence here is substantial — this is among the strongest top-pick ratings on the entire card.

place3Golden TruthML 8/1

Golden Truth (No. 3) earns a 68.2 TrackWiz rating and gets Romero Ramsay Maragh for trainer Basil Leon — and the 55 average speed figure is actually the best in the race. At 8/1 on the morning line, the market may be underestimating this horse's raw speed in a sprint format. Maragh will have this one positioned to strike, and the pace scenario could set up nicely for a closer.

show6MarshalML 3/1

Marshal (No. 6) comes in at 58.45 in our model at 3/1 with Ryan Munger for trainer Anthony Adamo. The 12% career win rate and 53 average speed figure are consistent if unspectacular, but in a sprint where the top horses may battle each other early, a stalker like Marshal can benefit from the pace setup. Solid show anchor in your exacta and trifecta plays.

Race 10

9:30 PM EDT

Allowance Optional Claiming · 1 1/8 mi · Dirt

A ten-horse allowance optional claiming route to close out the card, featuring a tight cluster of highly rated horses at the top of our model — and our pick is an 8/1 shot with a 23% career win rate sitting right in the pocket.

win9King d'OroML 8/1

King d'Oro (No. 9) leads our model in this race at 79.79 with a 23% career win rate — the kind of consistency that allowance horses need to carry over a mile and an eighth. Pietro Moran gets the call for trainer Donald C. MacRae, and the 55 average speed figure is tied for best in the field. At 8/1 on the morning line, this is the most significant overlay of the closing stretch — a horse our model loves that the public is sleeping on.

place8Ever DangerousML 9/5

Ever Dangerous (No. 8) is the morning-line choice at 9/5 and earns a 78.45 TrackWiz rating — just a tick behind our top pick. A 20% career win rate and a 54 average speed figure for trainer Audrey Cheung make this a logical place anchor, and Rafael Manuel Hernandez is one of the most trusted jockeys in the closing race of the evening. If King d'Oro fires, Ever Dangerous should be right there.

show2Whiskey N SodaML 5/1

Whiskey N Soda (No. 2) is the show play with the most punch — a 38% career win rate leads all ten horses in this race, and the 77.24 TrackWiz rating is third-best in the field. Trainer Devon Gittens and Eswan Flores team up in a route race where that career strike rate demands respect. At 5/1, this horse is live for more than just show money if things unfold favorably.
