Ajax Downs — May 13, 2026 Quick Picks Report

Fast track, cool conditions, and a full eight-race sprint card heavily favoring early speed and clean gate breaks. Middle posts preferred; rail and extreme outside posts are minor negatives in larger fields.

Race 1 — 250f

Look Twice (3) is the top selection as the 2-1 morning line co-favorite from a clean central post. Double Dashin Corona (4) and Lady Alice (1) are the primary threats. Perryokie (5) is a minor saver given the barn entry dynamic with Double Dashin Corona (4).

Race 2 — 330f

Nadir (3) gets the nod from the prime 3-hole with the best jockey-trainer combination in the field. A Shades Of Cold (2) is the top secondary choice among the co-favorites. Chasing Butterflies (5) offers slight overlay value at 3-1 as the lone non-co-favorite with a competitive single-horse trainer entry.

Race 3 — 220f

Relentless Betty (2) is the clear key horse from a clean post with the meet's top jockey aboard. The Fire Witch (6) and Rr Illbeurhucklebery (5) are the primary place and show threats. All Outta Sugar (4) at 15-1 is a superfecta-only inclusion given the barn's overall quality.

Race 4 — 110f

Had To Be Ivory (3) is the top selection, combining the meet's leading jockey with a prime central post in the card's richest race. Spy For The Senate (2) and Snow Moose (5) round out the key exacta and trifecta structure. Bodhi (4) at 2-1 demands respect and belongs on all multi-race tickets.

Race 5 — 220f

Favorite Interest (5) is the single 2-1 morning line choice and the recommended win key for this leg. Hesmagicalydelicious (2) is the primary threat from a clean 2-hole for an active and competitive barn. Gin Xpress (3) at 4-1 offers value with a top jockey, while Leanintoimperialhint (6) at 15-1 is a deep superfecta inclusion.

Race 6 — 250f

ALABAMA MOONSHINE (1) tops the field as the morning line favorite despite the rail post concern. Money Mouf (7) at 4-1 and Keep Them In Corona (2) are the strongest secondary choices. Fire Hot Stuff (3) at 15-1 is the day's most compelling longshot given the elite jockey assignment and prime post for a trainer who has sent competitive runners all afternoon.

Race 7 — 220f

Shake Em Alice (5) is the top selection from the ideal center post in an eight-horse field. Fly Fishn (3) at 3-1 is the day's best value play — prime post, top jockey, and perfectly positioned if either co-favorite stumbles at the gate. Agent Ice (8) is the co-favorite to respect despite the extreme outside draw, with Twice The Rush (4) as the key secondary value option at 4-1.
