Century Mile — Friday, August 7, 2026 | Fast Track | First Post 8:15 AM

Race 1 — 400f | Alw 14000n2l

Wagon Burner 109 (3) is the top selection at 2-1 from a favorable middle post in this five-horse quarter horse sprint where gate speed is everything. Giggette (1) at 4-1 from the rail offers the best value as a saver. The Greek Freek (5) is a legitimate threat but the outside post adds risk at this distance.

Race 2 — 1430f | Md 10000

Seattle Sting (5) is the dominant 1-1 choice with the preferred jockey assignment from the double-entered Nicholson barn. Devas Charm (1) at 2-1 from the rail is the primary threat, with She's A Rowski (2) at 2-1 from Post 2 completing the logical trifecta. Taylorjoy (3) at 6-1 is worth a small trifecta saver.

Race 3 — 1430f | Md 10000

Three co-favorites at 2-1 make this a trifecta race — Swift Kahuna (2) is the top selection from the best inside draw among the three. Redneck Rebel (5) and Blue Granite (3) complete the likely trifecta. Dale's Magic (1) at 5-1 from the rail is the key overlay and deserves strong consideration if the pace between the three co-favorites becomes contentious.

Race 4 — 1430f | Alw 21500n2l

Appreciate Today (3) at 1-1 is the dominant selection backed by a strong morning line vote in a five-horse allowance field. River Seven (1) at 3-1 from the rail is the best value play and the most likely upset horse. Genie's Ride (5) at 2-1 is the secondary choice, though the outside post in a short field is a mild concern.

Race 5 — 1210f | Md Sp Wt

Iwannabearockstar (9) at 2-1 is the clear top selection in this ten-horse, $35,000 maiden special weight — the strongest market signal on the card. Justaskinfortruble (1) at 4-1 from the coveted rail and Stole The Lute (4) at 4-1 from the ideal middle draw are the co-second choices. Asiniy's Storm (5) at 8-1 and Leroy's Prospect (3) at 10-1 are the best-value exotics components, with Crypto Fire (2) at 12-1 and Queen Astrid (8) at 15-1 worth including in superfectas.

Race 6 — 1540f | OClm 12500

Sparklet (4) at 2-1 is the morning line choice in this seven-horse route, but Glava (1) at 4-1 from the rail is the best value play on the entire card given the active barn and ground-saving post in the longest race of the day. Space (3) at 3-1 stalks the pace from a workable draw and rounds out the trifecta. Gucci Boy (5) at 5-1 is worth exacta consideration.

Race 7 — 1430f | Clm 4000b

Saxon Saga (2) at 1-1 is a dominant favorite at this claiming level and is the straightforward top selection. Barney Google (5) at 5-1 and Chickasaw (1) at 6-1 from the rail are the logical exacta partners underneath. Sportscarr (3) at 6-1 and Squalotoro (6) at 6-1 fill out trifecta coverage.

Race 8 — 1430f | Clm 6500b

Indio Mara (5) at 2-1 is the top selection, but the four co-choices at 4-1 make this the best trifecta race on the card. Quinto Sol (1) at 5-1 from the rail is the standout value play and the recommended Win/Place single. Northern Force (2) at 4-1 and Pump The Brakes (4) at 4-1 complete the trifecta structure, with Legal Assassin (3) at 4-1 as the fourth wheel.

Race 9 — 1430f | OClm 17500n3l

Drinking Again (3) at 3-1 is the consensus morning line selection in this nine-horse card closer. Chambers (5) at 4-1 is a strong alternative backed by the card's most active barn. Ticket To The Top (2) at 6-1 from Post 2 and Prime Directive (8) at 6-1 are the best secondary options, with Gunfighter (6) at 6-1 rounding out a competitive exacta and trifecta field.
