Pick Pony Track Condition Report — SunRay Park, April 18, 2026

Weather Forecast

Partly cloudy conditions are expected with temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s. Southwest winds of 10–18 mph with gusts to 25 mph may affect racing.

Track Surface & Bias

SunRay Park will race on a dirt surface today. Under the forecasted fast track conditions with moderate to gusty winds, dirt surfaces typically favor horses with early speed and consistent pace. Front-runners and stalkers tend to benefit when track conditions are firm, as they can establish position without fighting heavy footing. Wind gusts of 25 mph may create subtle variations in surface consistency across different parts of the track, potentially favoring horses that can adapt to slight changes in going while maintaining their running style. Closers may face additional challenges if required to make up ground on a fast, firm surface with inconsistent wind patterns.
