Pick Pony Track Condition Report — Fort Erie, October 13, 2026

Weather Forecast

Warm conditions are expected, with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s °F. Showers and a possible thunderstorm risk are forecast, with southerly winds around 10 mph and gusts near 20 mph; precipitation chances may vary through the day.

Track Surface & Bias

Recent rain and the possibility of additional showers should leave the dirt (D) track damp to good, with a chance of sealing or becoming slightly tiring if heavier precipitation arrives. Early speed and tactical stalkers should hold an advantage, particularly from inside-to-middle posts; closers may improve if the surface becomes wet and tiring. The turf (T) course could start good but soften with rain, favoring runners comfortable handling yielding ground and posts that avoid excessive ground loss.

Handicapper’s Edge

Give extra weight to proven wet-track form and horses with tactical speed, while treating deep closers cautiously unless the dirt becomes visibly tiring. Reassess turf runners after observing the first race, as changing moisture could quickly shift the preferred running style.
