Race Day Overview — Remington Park, August 28, 2026

Remington Park closes out its summer meet with a full ten-race card on Friday evening, highlighted by a pair of $50,000 Oklahoma-bred restricted stakes races anchoring the back half of the card. The Oklahoma Stallion Filly and Mare Handicap in Race 8 and the Oklahoma Stallion Handicap in Race 9 provide the marquee action of the night, while the card also features a pair of maiden special weight events, a first-level allowance on the turf, and a ten-furlong turf claimer rounding out the evening. The conditions range from a bottom-level $5,000 claiming race to open the night all the way up to the stakes pairs, giving bettors a full spectrum of class levels to navigate.

Trainer Arturo Chavez has been handed a two-year ban by HISA following the recent weekly national rulings roundup, a development worth noting for any bettors who follow connections closely. No Chavez-trained horses appear on today's Remington card, so the ruling has no direct impact on this program.

The national racing spotlight this weekend is firmly on Saratoga and the 157th running of the Grade I Travers Stakes on Saturday, with Napoleon Solo drawing heavy attention as the horse to beat. That action will draw some handle away from regional tracks, but Remington's Oklahoma-bred stakes races and the Friday night timing of the card should keep local bettors engaged.

Weather and Track Conditions — Remington Park, August 28, 2026

Remington Park sits in the heart of Oklahoma City, and late August in central Oklahoma typically brings brutal heat with afternoon temperatures in the upper 90s to low 100s before cooling slightly into the evening racing hours. Post time temperatures for the first race at 7:30 PM CDT are expected to be in the low-to-mid 90s, with humidity making conditions feel warmer. Scattered thunderstorm activity is possible across the region in the late afternoon hours, which could affect track conditions by post time.

The main track at Remington is a fast-draining synthetic-surfaced oval — though standard dirt conditions apply here — and if any precipitation does arrive, the track could be listed as good to sloppy depending on timing and intensity. The turf course in Races 6 and 10 should be monitored closely, as any significant rain in the hours preceding the card could result in those races being taken off the turf and moved to the main track. Bettors with interest in Race 6 and Race 10 should watch for official track condition updates from Remington Park closer to first post.

The evening card's first races on the main track are expected to be run under fast conditions barring significant storm activity, and the dirt surface at Remington has been playing fairly consistent in recent weeks of the meet.

Track Bias and Post Position Analysis — Remington Park

Remington Park's one-mile oval has traditionally favored horses with early speed, particularly in sprints. The track plays with a slight speed bias on the main dirt surface, and horses that can get to the front or press the pace from the inside posts tend to outperform their odds in the shorter distance sprints. In races at seven furlongs and shorter, the inside posts — particularly posts one through four — have historically carried a meaningful advantage at Remington.

In route races, the bias moderates considerably. Horses breaking from the middle posts in routes can travel efficiently without being funneled into traffic, and there is no dramatic penalty for outside posts in longer dirt races. In the 1830-foot route in Race 3 and the 1540-foot route races in the stakes events, post position is less determinative than overall class and pace configuration.

On the turf course at Remington, inside posts carry a premium. The turf oval is tight, and horses that can secure rail-running positions early avoid the wide sweeping trips that cost ground and energy. In the two turf events today — Race 6 at 1650 feet and Race 10 at 1650 feet — inside posts are a clear edge, and turf form should be weighted heavily over dirt form given that Remington's turf can play quite differently depending on moisture content and firmness.

For the sprint races tonight, any horse with demonstrated gate speed and an inside-to-middle post deserves a bump in projection, while speed horses stuck on the extreme outside will face a tougher task overcoming the additional ground lost in the turn.

RACE 1 — Post 7:30 — 1100f | D | C | Clm 5000b | BUN | Purse $12,500

This is a bottom-level $5,000 claiming race for 3-year-olds and up on the dirt at six and a half furlongs. With nine horses entered and a modest purse of $12,500, the quality here is predictably thin, but there is enough pace and class separation to find a logical outcome. The field includes a mix of veterans who have been grinding at this level and horses looking for a spot that fits their class ceiling.

Pace Analysis

The pace scenario in this race sets up as contested. Blame Da Stoops (5), the morning line favorite at 3-1, figures to be the pace-controlling type from the middle of the pack, and Norway Beach (6) at 4-1 should also be pressing near the front. Whip (4) at 8-1 has the look of a horse that wants to be in the mix early. With multiple speed horses drawn together in the middle posts, the pace should be honest enough to allow a stalker to close into a potentially contested finish. The rail and inside posts are not as loaded with speed as the mid-field, giving post 1 and 2 horses a chance to settle and make late runs if the fractions get pressured.

Key Contenders

Blame Da Stoops (5) is the morning line choice at 3-1 and is in the care of trainer Tristan Ashford, who has been active at Remington this meet. The 3-1 quote is reflective of this horse's consistency at or near this claiming level, and with jockey I.V. Diego in the irons, connections are clearly taking this spot seriously. Diego is one of the more capable riders on the Remington circuit and his presence on the favorite signals the barn wants a good effort. The mid-draw at post 5 is workable in a sprint of this nature.

Norway Beach (6) at 4-1 is the other logical top-of-the-market selection. Trainer Scott E. Young has been a consistent presence at Remington, and this horse draws a workable post on the outside of the speed cluster. Young has a solid strike rate at this level, and Floyd Wethey Jr. riding is notable — Wethey has been one of the busier jockeys on the card and knows the track well. If Norway Beach (6) can get a clean trip just off the pace, the 4-1 morning line may undervalue what this horse brings.

Secondary Choices

John (8) at 5-1 for trainer Mark W. Buehrer represents decent value. Buehrer saddles two horses in this race — both John (8) and Charming Oakie (9) — suggesting the barn is confident in the spot. Splitting mounts between two starters with jockeys B. Quinonez and David Cabrera respectively gives the barn options, and Quinonez on John (8) is the more experienced of the two riders here. When a trainer enters two horses at the same level and puts his top jockey on one of them, that is the one to follow.

Ooey Gooey Chewy (3) at 6-1 under Mario Fuentes for trainer Ronnie Cravens III is another to consider. Fuentes has been picking his spots well at Remington, and a 6-1 morning line at a $5,000 claiming level suggests there is some positional risk here but also meaningful upside if this horse fires its best effort.

Longshots

He's A Rock (1) at 12-1 opens from the rail with jockey A.O. Stanley for trainer Steve F. Williams. Williams runs multiple horses tonight and has experience placing horses at appropriate levels, but the 12-1 morning line is a fair reflection of a horse that has likely struggled at higher tags. The rail post is a slight plus in the sprint, but without demonstrated ability to compete at this price, He's A Rock (1) is a throwout for most wagers.

In Bond We Trust (2) at 8-1 for trainer M. Brent Davidson with Weston Hamilton is a fringe player. Davidson is another multi-horse trainer tonight, and In Bond We Trust (2) at post 2 has a clean gate break opportunity. The 8-1 price makes this a possible ticket addition in exotics but not a primary investment.

Whip (4) at 8-1 under Leandro R. Goncalves for James Victor Hale has early speed potential that could complicate matters for the favorites. If Whip (4) gets loose on the front end, the 8-1 price could become very attractive late. Goncalves is a capable and aggressive rider.

You'reobadboy (7) at 10-1 for Spencer Don Leddy with Emanuel Castillo Zabala is a deep longshot that is difficult to trust in a nine-horse field at this level.

Charming Oakie (9) at 8-1 is the second Buehrer horse, ridden by David Cabrera, and while Buehrer clearly believes he has a live stable here, Charming Oakie (9) from the extreme outside post at 1100 feet is the tougher tactical spot compared to stablemate John (8).

Betting Strategy

This is a difficult race to invest heavily in given the thin talent pool. Using Blame Da Stoops (5) on top in exactas with Norway Beach (6) and John (8) underneath is the most logical approach. A small win investment on Norway Beach (6) at 4-1 represents the best value play in this opener. Avoid large win bets on longshots at this price point and class level.

Selections

Win: Norway Beach (6) Place: Blame Da Stoops (5) Show: John (8)

RACE 2 — Post 7:58 — 1210f | D | C | Clm 7500n2l | BUN | Purse $11,500

This is a $7,500 claiming race restricted to horses that have not won two lifetime races, run at seven and a half furlongs on the dirt. The n2l condition means the field should be relatively inexperienced, and identifying horses that are improving or horses with tactical advantages is key.

Pace Analysis

Gonnabeagoodday (6) is the morning line favorite at 2-1 under Fernando Jara for trainer Francisco Bravo, and based on the name and the morning line, this horse likely has demonstrated enough ability to be the controlling force in this race. The Kween's King (3) at 4-1 and Gospel War Cry (7) at 4-1 are both morning line co-second choices, suggesting a three-horse competitive scenario at the top. At seven and a half furlongs, pace tends to be more of a factor than in shorter sprints, and the horse that can control the front end without being pressured through excessive fractions will have a significant advantage. With the favorite at 2-1 drawing post 6 and the co-favorites at posts 3 and 7, the pace is likely to be controlled from the outside half of the gate.

Key Contenders

Gonnabeagoodday (6) at 2-1 is the clear top choice. Trainer Francisco Bravo has demonstrated strong form at Remington, and Fernando Jara is one of the most effective riders on the circuit. The 2-1 morning line is tight for a field of nine, but this horse clearly merits favorite status. At seven and a half furlongs, a horse with natural gate speed and a capable handler can control its own destiny, and everything about this entry says Bravo and Jara want to win this race.

The Kween's King (3) at 4-1 for trainer Scott Corderman with David Cabrera is the logical second choice. Corderman is active and competent at Remington, and Cabrera is a reliable jockey who knows how to rate horses on the front end or just off it. Post 3 is a strong draw in a seven-and-a-half-furlong race, giving this horse a clean trip into the first turn.

Secondary Choices

Gospel War Cry (7) at 4-1 is the second Williams-trained horse tonight, with A.O. Stanley in the saddle. Williams has multiple horses on the card and clearly knows this circuit. Gospel War Cry (7) at co-second-choice odds from post 7 has some outside draw concerns at this distance, but a 4-1 price in a field where the favorite is at 2-1 represents legitimate secondary value.

Fully Funded (5) at 6-1 for trainer Shon M. Dunlap with Rene Diaz is a mid-field pace player that could find a comfortable spot just behind the speed and close late. Dunlap is a lower-profile trainer on this circuit but has shown the ability to place horses appropriately.

Longshots

Max's Lucky Bling (2) at 10-1 for Jody M. Pruitt with Weston Hamilton and stablemate Double R Cat (4) at 8-1 with Erik McNeil both represent the Pruitt barn's dual entry. Double R Cat (4) at the better price is the more interesting of the two, and McNeil is a competent professional. At 8-1 in a seven-horse exotic ticket, Double R Cat (4) belongs on the bottom of exactas.

Njustlikethat (8) at 8-1 for Steve F. Williams with Obed Sanchez is the third Williams runner in this race, which is an unusual stable dynamic. Williams clearly has multiple live horses tonight, but three horses in one race spreads connections thin. Njustlikethat (8) from post 8 at 8-1 is a marginal selection at best.

Smiling Time (1) at 15-1 for trainer Marti Rodriguez with Emanuel Castillo Zabala is the longest shot in the field and tough to recommend in any capacity.

Lucky Kingbird (9) at 10-1 for Steve D. Davis with Cassidy D.B. Fletcher rounds out the field from the outside post. Davis has some runners tonight and Fletcher is capable, but the outside post at 10-1 is not an attractive spot in a race with a 2-1 favorite.

Betting Strategy

Gonnabeagoodday (6) at 2-1 is too short to play win alone. Structure exactas with Gonnabeagoodday (6) on top and The Kween's King (3) and Gospel War Cry (7) underneath. A reverse exacta using The Kween's King (3) on top of Gonnabeagoodday (6) at a reduced investment acknowledges the possibility that the favorite gets a tough trip from post 6.

Selections

Win: Gonnabeagoodday (6) Place: The Kween's King (3) Show: Gospel War Cry (7)

RACE 3 — Post 8:26 — 1830f | D | C | Clm 10000b | BUN | Purse $18,000

This is the most ambitious race on the early portion of the card — a mile and an eighth on the dirt, a genuine route race, for $10,000 claimers. Route races at the claiming level often produce clear logical favorites, and this six-horse field is compact enough to analyze thoroughly. The $18,000 purse reflects a step up in quality from the first two races.

Pace Analysis

With a co-morning-line scenario featuring Hedge The Risk (1) and Mr Oklahoma (3) both listed at 2-1, the pace in this route is likely to be competitive. Rail-drawn Hedge The Risk (1) under jockey S. Elliott for trainer Isaiah Ortiz should be a factor from the front, while Mr Oklahoma (3) for Scott Young with Floyd Wethey Jr. will press or stalk depending on how the race develops. At nine furlongs, horses that overextend early pay the price in the stretch, and the logical scenario is a pace battle in the first five furlongs that sets up a potential closer. Sixhoofsevenhoof (5) at 4-1 for M. Brent Davidson with Fernando Jara is the most likely beneficiary if the pace collapses.

Key Contenders

Hedge The Risk (1) at 2-1 from the rail is the co-morning-line favorite and a logical choice. Trainer Isaiah Ortiz has been placing horses competently at Remington, and jockey S. Elliott is a reliable route rider. The rail post at nine furlongs is advantageous — this horse can control pace from the inside and save ground throughout. If Hedge The Risk (1) can dictate a comfortable pace, it should prove very difficult to run down.

Mr Oklahoma (3) at 2-1 is the other co-favorite and perhaps the more evocative selection given the obvious Oklahoma-themed naming on a Remington card. Scott Young is having a productive meet, and Wethey is reliable in longer routes. Post 3 gives Mr Oklahoma (3) a clean break without outside pressure immediately. In a six-horse field, post 3 is nearly ideal.

Secondary Choices

Hollywood Icon (2) at 4-1 for Jesse Sauceda with B. Quinonez is drawn directly between the two co-favorites. Quinonez is a capable jockey and has a chance to slot in a perfect stalking trip between the two speed horses. If both co-favorites press each other and tire in the stretch, Hollywood Icon (2) at 4-1 is the logical play to sweep them up.

Sixhoofsevenhoof (5) at 4-1 for M. Brent Davidson with Fernando Jara profiles as the closer in this field. Jara is an aggressive and skilled jockey who knows when to make his move in a route, and Davidson's horses have been running competitively throughout the card tonight. If the pace collapses as anticipated with two co-favorites fighting for the lead, Sixhoofsevenhoof (5) has the pace scenario to close.

Longshots

Send The Boss (4) at 5-1 for Danny Pish with D.L. Parker is mid-field in both price and post position. Pish runs multiple horses tonight, and Parker is an experienced hand, but 5-1 in a race where the top two choices are both at 2-1 leaves Send The Boss (4) in awkward positioning. Worth including on the bottom of exacta and trifecta tickets.

Code Eleven (6) at 10-1 for Steve D. Davis with Cassidy D.B. Fletcher rounds out the field from the outside post. At nine furlongs from post 6 in a six-horse field, the outside draw is not the disadvantage it would be in a sprint, and Fletcher riding a Davis horse at 10-1 in a small field makes Code Eleven (6) a superfecta safety valve but not a primary investment.

Betting Strategy

With two co-favorites at 2-1 in a six-horse field, the exacta box between Hedge The Risk (1) and Mr Oklahoma (3) is obvious but thin. The better play is a trifecta using Hedge The Risk (1) and Mr Oklahoma (3) on top with Hollywood Icon (2) and Sixhoofsevenhoof (5) filling in the third spot. A win bet on Hollywood Icon (2) at 4-1 if you believe the co-favorites will press each other to defeat is the value play.

Selections

Win: Hedge The Risk (1) Place: Mr Oklahoma (3) Show: Sixhoofsevenhoof (5)

RACE 4 — Post 8:54 — 1320f | D | C | Clm 10000n3l | BUM | Purse $17,500

A mile on the dirt for $10,000 claimers restricted to horses that have not won three lifetime races. Seven horses entered with a $17,500 purse. The n3l restriction means these are horses still developing their records, and trainer and jockey angles carry more weight in this type of condition.

Pace Analysis

Scribble (2) at 2-1 for trainer Steven M. Asmussen with Erik Asmussen draws the most attention in this race. The Asmussen stable is the dominant force in this region of the country, and when Steve Asmussen sends out a horse at 2-1 morning line with his son Erik in the irons, the barn has made a clear statement. Dig Baby Dig (4) at 3-1 for M. Brent Davidson with D.L. Parker is the other primary challenger. The pace in this race likely develops as a dual-speed scenario with Scribble (2) and Edge Chaser (1) both having front-running tendencies and Dig Baby Dig (4) pressing or stalking. At one mile, the fractions will tell the story — a contested early pace benefits the closers.

Key Contenders

Scribble (2) at 2-1 is the clear top choice. Steven M. Asmussen is the winningest trainer in North American racing history by career wins, and his operation knows how to place horses precisely. Erik Asmussen has been developing his own career at Remington under the family banner, and when father-son connections combine at a low morning line, the win percentage is significant. From post 2 in a mile race, Scribble (2) gets a clean break and should settle in a comfortable position to make its move entering the stretch.

Dig Baby Dig (4) at 3-1 for Davidson and Parker is a legitimate threat. Davidson has been very active throughout this card, and the 3-1 morning line suggests this horse has demonstrated the ability to compete at this level. Parker is an experienced rider on this circuit.

Secondary Choices

Lonely Woman (6) at 5-1 for Oscar Flores with Tyler W. Bacon is a filly in an open company race, which is worth noting at this claiming level. Fillies taking on males at $10,000 claiming level do sometimes score at generous prices, and the 5-1 morning line is fair if this horse can handle the gender step-up. Bacon is a lesser-ridden jockey at this level.

Edge Chaser (1) at 4-1 for J.R. Caldwell with Rene Diaz profiles as early speed from the rail. Caldwell is a competent conditioner at Remington, and Diaz is a capable jockey. If Edge Chaser (1) can clear to the front without being harassed, the 4-1 price makes this a compelling pace play — but if Scribble (2) presses from post 2, the pace could get contested quickly.

Longshots

Scattered Mischief (3) at 8-1 for Gwendolyn K. Crosser with Javier Padron-Barcenas is a mid-range price horse with a tricky name and an outside trainer profile. Crosser is not among the most prominent conditioners on this card, and 8-1 in a seven-horse field is not compelling.

Rockbar (5) at 6-1 for Steve F. Williams with A.O. Stanley fills out the Williams barn's continued presence across the card. Williams clearly has a productive stable at Remington, and Rockbar (5) at 6-1 has some value as a price horse in exotics. Williams' runners have shown up throughout the card and deserve respect.

Beverly Diner (7) at 8-1 for Frederico Villafranco with Mario Fuentes rounds out the field from the outside post. Fuentes is a capable jockey, but the outside post in a mile race and the 8-1 price make Beverly Diner (7) a minor exotic consideration only.

Betting Strategy

Scribble (2) at 2-1 is the play. The Asmussen angle is too strong to fade at this level, particularly with Erik Asmussen in the irons. An exacta with Scribble (2) on top and Dig Baby Dig (4) underneath at 3-1 is the primary wager. Include Edge Chaser (1) and Lonely Woman (6) in trifectas underneath the top two.

Selections

Win: Scribble (2) Place: Dig Baby Dig (4) Show: Edge Chaser (1)

RACE 5 — Post 9:22 — 1320f | D | S | Md Sp Wt | AOF | Purse $38,000

The first maiden special weight race of the evening is on the dirt at one mile for fillies and mares of all ages and origins. Twelve horses entered with a $38,000 purse represents a significant field, and the morning line is spread across multiple horses, suggesting genuine uncertainty. This is an interesting race with two Asmussen entrants and two Diodoro entrants, plus a Pish two-pack.

Pace Analysis

With twelve horses entered, the pace scenario is complex. Express Street (6) at 6-1 for Asmussen with S. Elliott may have early speed. Volden (8) at 4-1 for Danny Pish with Lane J. Luzzi is one of two Pish entrants, the other being Connie'scalculator (1). Ryvitetta (11) at 4-1 for Asmussen with Erik Asmussen represents the barn's top choice based on odds positioning. I'm A Ten (12) at 5-1 for Diodoro with Geovanni Franko-Angeles and Chocolate Praline (4) at 8-1 for Diodoro with R.A. Vazquez give the Diodoro barn two shots at this prize. In a twelve-horse maiden field, pace usually develops in clusters and the middle portion of the race often determines the outcome. Late-running types have more opportunity in a large maiden field due to traffic and uneven fractions.

Key Contenders

Ryvitetta (11) at 4-1 is the co-morning-line favorite and likely the Asmussen barn's top choice in this race. Erik Asmussen riding at 4-1 for a barn that entered two horses strongly suggests this is the horse the operation prefers. In a twelve-horse maiden field at a mile, post 11 is a concern due to ground lost in the run to the first turn, but the Asmussen stable's ability to place horses correctly is not to be dismissed lightly. If Ryvitetta (11) has the ability, the barn will find a way.

Volden (8) at 4-1 for Danny Pish with Lane J. Luzzi is the co-favorite. Pish also enters Connie'scalculator (1), and when a trainer enters two, the one with the lower morning line is typically the trainer's preference. Both are at 8-1 and 4-1 respectively, making Volden (8) the Pish barn's choice. Post 8 in a twelve-horse field at a mile is a workable spot. Luzzi is an experienced jockey who can handle the tactical demands of a mile maiden race.

Secondary Choices

I'm A Ten (12) at 5-1 for Robertino Diodoro with Geovanni Franko-Angeles is the most price-accessible of the Diodoro entries and comes from the outside post. Diodoro is a well-respected trainer, particularly in the Oklahoma-Kansas circuit, and his stable has produced consistent results. The outside post 12 is a concern, but Diodoro horses tend to be fit and forward.

Express Street (6) at 6-1 for Asmussen with S. Elliott is the barn's second entry and provides a secondary option. Elliott is a competent jockey, and post 6 in a twelve-horse field is a decent draw. The question is whether the barn is splitting focus with Ryvitetta (11) as the intended winner — but at 6-1, Express Street (6) is live enough to include on tickets.

Chocolate Praline (4) at 8-1 for Diodoro with R.A. Vazquez rounds out the Diodoro two-pack. Vazquez is a capable jockey, and the inside post 4 draw is attractive for a Diodoro-trained horse in a mile maiden. The 8-1 price offers legitimate value if this horse is the barn's intended runner.

Longshots

Connie'scalculator (1) at 8-1 for Pish with Weston Hamilton has the rail and a competent jockey, making it a minor consideration even as the second of two Pish entries.

Passenger Princess (3) at 8-1 for Austin Gustafson with David Cabrera is a fair-odds runner who could benefit from a clean trip in the middle of the pack.

Burglarized (2) at 20-1 for Wade Rarick with Jose L. Alvarez, Saver's Joy (5) at 20-1 for Eduardo Cruz with L.S. Quinonez, Little Mary (7) at 20-1 for Matt Hebert with Floyd Wethey Jr., Vinnyattaville (9) at 20-1 for Allen Dupuy with Ernesto Valdez-Jiminez, and Mogold Forme (10) at 20-1 for Sarah Nicole Davidson with Mario Fuentes are all deep longshots in a twelve-horse maiden field and can be safely eliminated from primary wagering considerations. In a large maiden field, 20-1 shots occasionally hit, but the odds are not compelling given the stronger primary choices.

Betting Strategy

Ryvitetta (11) and Volden (8) are the top two at co-4-1 morning lines. An exacta box between the two is the primary play. Add I'm A Ten (12) as a third leg in a trifecta for a three-horse wheel. Including Chocolate Praline (4) at 8-1 for Diodoro in exactas underneath is a low-cost value addition. In a twelve-horse maiden, trifectas can pay significantly, and widening the bottom of tickets with some of the 8-1 shots is sound strategy.

Selections

Win: Ryvitetta (11) Place: Volden (8) Show: I'm A Ten (12)

RACE 6 — Post 9:50 — 1650f | T | A | Alw 39000n1x | BUM | Purse $39,000

The first turf race of the evening is a first-level allowance for fillies and mares that have never won a race other than maiden or claiming, going a mile on the turf. Seven horses entered with a $39,000 purse. This is a significant step up in quality from the claiming races that opened the card. Weather conditions and turf firmness should be monitored closely.

Pace Analysis

Penny Powers (7) at 2-1 for Scott Young with Floyd Wethey Jr. is the heavy morning line favorite. Young saddles two horses in this race — also Runaway Okie (3) at 4-1 — which is an interesting dynamic. Penny Powers (7) from the outside post in a seven-horse field on the turf is a tactical concern, as turf races reward inside trips. However, the 2-1 morning line suggests this horse has clearly demonstrated superior ability at this level. Girls Got Game (2) at 4-1 for Karen E. Jacks with S. Elliott and Runaway Okie (3) at 4-1 for Young with Leandro R. Goncalves are the co-second choices.

At one mile on the turf, pace typically settles through the opening six furlongs before the stretch battle begins. The inside posts — Whiskey Drinker (1) and Girls Got Game (2) — have a tactical advantage if their horses have sufficient class.

Key Contenders

Penny Powers (7) at 2-1 is the class of the field despite the outside post. When a trainer enters two horses in the same race, they typically have a preference, and with Young putting Wethey on Penny Powers (7) and Goncalves on Runaway Okie (3), the jockey assignment suggests Penny Powers (7) is the barn's top choice. Wethey has been the more prominent rider for Young throughout the card. The 2-1 morning line is a lot to lay on a turf race with an outside post, but the class edge is real.

Girls Got Game (2) at 4-1 for Karen Jacks with S. Elliott is a strong second choice. Post 2 on the turf is a significant advantage, and Elliott is a capable turf rider. Jacks is a trainer who specializes in fillies and mares, and this is an ideal conditions match. If Girls Got Game (2) can get into a comfortable stalking position from the inside, the 4-1 price is outstanding value against the 2-1 favorite.

Secondary Choices

Runaway Okie (3) at 4-1 is the second Young entrant and gets Goncalves, who is a capable rider on this circuit. Post 3 is also a solid turf draw. While this horse is likely second in the barn's preference, it is far from a throw-in and could complicate the finish if Penny Powers (7) encounters traffic from the outside.

Code Of The South (6) at 5-1 for Joe S. Offolter with Jose L. Alvarez is a mid-range price horse that could find a stalking trip and close ground late. Offolter has multiple horses on tonight's card and is an active trainer at Remington.

Longshots

Whiskey Drinker (1) at 6-1 for Scott Corderman with I.V. Diego has the rail, which is the prime post on the turf. The 6-1 morning line is somewhat surprising given the inside post advantage, and this horse may offer value if Corderman has found a spot that suits its best running. Diego is a capable jockey who could take advantage of the rail trip.

Chicks Night Out (4) at 6-1 for Spencer Don Leddy with Emanuel Castillo Zabala is mid-field in price and post. Leddy is a mid-level trainer at Remington, and while the 6-1 is fair, the post 4 draw is workable on the turf.

United Sister (5) at 8-1 for Marti Rodriguez with Erik McNeil is the longest shot in this competitive seven-horse field. Rodriguez has struggled to find winners at this allowance level tonight, and 8-1 against a 2-1 favorite in an allowance race is not compelling.

Betting Strategy

Girls Got Game (2) at 4-1 is the value play in this race. The inside turf post combined with a capable jockey and a trainer who specializes in this type of horse makes the 4-1 an excellent price against the 2-1 favorite. A win bet on Girls Got Game (2) is the primary recommendation. Exactas using Girls Got Game (2) over Penny Powers (7) and Penny Powers (7) over Girls Got Game (2) in a back-and-forth structure covers both directions. Add Whiskey Drinker (1) at 6-1 with the rail post as a minor ticket addition.

Selections

Win: Girls Got Game (2) Place: Penny Powers (7) Show: Runaway Okie (3)

RACE 7 — Post 10:18 — 1100f | D | S | Md Sp Wt | BON | Purse $38,000

The second maiden special weight race is a six and a half furlong sprint on the dirt for males — Oklahoma-bred or nominated. Seven horses entered with a $38,000 purse. Threesocks (2) is a clear morning line standout at 1-1, making this one of the most lopsided pricing scenarios on the card.

Pace Analysis

With Threesocks (2) going off at 1-1 for trainer C.R. Trout with David Cabrera, the pace scenario almost doesn't matter — everything revolves around whether the heavy favorite lives up to its billing. Metric Man (5) at 4-1 for Francisco Bravo with Floyd Wethey Jr. is the second choice and the most likely pace rival. It's Not Unusual (7) at 5-1 for Joe Offolter with Richard E. Eramia rounds out the primary contenders. In a six and a half furlong sprint, the pace typically goes out quickly and the horse with the most natural ability often prevails. If Threesocks (2) is as talented as the morning line suggests, it should clear the field and win impressively.

Key Contenders

Threesocks (2) at 1-1 is the overwhelming choice. When a horse goes to post at even money in a maiden special weight, the connections are making a very strong statement. C.R. Trout with Cabrera in the irons is a solid combination, and post 2 is an excellent draw in a six and a half furlong sprint. At even money, the question for bettors is not whether to pick this horse to win but how to use it profitably in exotics.

Metric Man (5) at 4-1 for Francisco Bravo with Wethey is the logical place horse. Bravo has shown up multiple times on this card with well-prepared horses, and Metric Man (5) at 4-1 with Wethey — who has been busy and effective tonight — deserves respect as the most likely horse to run second behind the favorite.

Secondary Choices

It's Not Unusual (7) at 5-1 for Offolter with Eramia is the third choice and carries some intrigue given the Tom Jones song reference embedded in its name. Post 7 in a sprint is a slight disadvantage, but Eramia is experienced and the 5-1 price makes this a legitimate secondary inclusion.

Buy Me Another (4) at 6-1 for Vic Hanson with B. Quinonez is a mid-priced alternative. Hanson has a presence in the Oklahoma-bred stakes races later on the card, which suggests a competent operation. The 6-1 price on Buy Me Another (4) with a capable jockey in a seven-horse field is worth noting.

Longshots

Docket (1) at 10-1 for Jaime Castellanos with Rene Diaz has the rail in a sprint — a plus — but at 10-1 against a 1-1 favorite in a maiden sprint, the case for investing significantly is thin. Diaz is a good jockey but is fighting a talent gap.

R P M Revved (3) at 8-1 for Francisco Bravo with Fernando Jara is the second Bravo entrant. The barn has two horses in this race, and Metric Man (5) at the lower odds is the barn's apparent preference, but having Jara on R P M Revved (3) means the horse has a competent rider. At 8-1 in exotics, R P M Revved (3) belongs on superfecta tickets.

Engine Ninety Nine (6) at 10-1 for Cindy Monroy with L.S. Quinonez is the other double-digit longshot in the field. Monroy is a lower-profile trainer and 10-1 is a fair reflection of the current status.

Betting Strategy

Threesocks (2) at 1-1 makes win betting unattractive from a return standpoint. The play here is to use Threesocks (2) as the single in exacta and trifecta wagers. An exacta wheel with Threesocks (2) on top and the entire field underneath will return better than a win bet and covers all possible second-place finishers. Trifectas of Threesocks (2) with Metric Man (5) and It's Not Unusual (7) in the second and third spots are the primary structure. A small win bet on Threesocks (2) is acceptable for bettors who want action on the obvious horse.

Selections

Win: Threesocks (2) Place: Metric Man (5) Show: It's Not Unusual (7)

RACE 8 — Post 10:46 — 1540f | D | N | OkStlnFilH50k | BOF | Purse $50,000

The Oklahoma Stallion Filly and Mare Handicap at nine and a half furlongs is the first of two $50,000 restricted stakes races. Six horses entered, with trainer Mark W. Buehrer entering a remarkable three horses — Giveitaspin (1), Momacya (2), and Den's Dazzler (3). The morning line favorite is Cyndi Loper (5) at 2-1 for trainer Francisco Bravo with Floyd Wethey Jr. Inca Code (6) at 3-1 for Joe Offolter with Richard E. Eramia is the second choice.

Pace Analysis

The Buehrer three-pack will present tactical complexity. With three entries from one barn holding the first three posts, the pace scenario could develop in any number of ways. Cyndi Loper (5) and Inca Code (6) from the outside posts will need to navigate around the Buehrer trio. At nine and a half furlongs on the dirt in a stakes race, pace management is critical, and the Buehrer barn's three-horse entry effectively controls the pace scenario depending on which horse goes to the front. Jara — notably not named on any Buehrer horse here — is absent, which means this barn is splitting its riding assignments among Cabrera, Goncalves, and L.S. Quinonez for Giveitaspin (1), Momacya (2), and Den's Dazzler (3) respectively.

Key Contenders

Cyndi Loper (5) at 2-1 is the morning line favorite and the most defensible single in this field. Bravo has been sharp throughout the card, and Wethey has been exceptional tonight, having ridden winners across multiple races. When a trainer and jockey both come in at the top of their games for a $50,000 stakes race, the combination is powerful. The 2-1 is a fair price for a horse that figures to be the class of this field and can run its own race without the tactical complexity facing the Buehrer trio.

Inca Code (6) at 3-1 for Offolter with Eramia is the other clear contender. Offolter has multiple stakes-level runners tonight across both the filly and stallion handicaps, and Inca Code (6) at 3-1 from the outside post in a six-horse field is a logical choice to chase down the favorite late. Eramia is a capable stakes rider on this circuit, and the 3-1 price offers genuine value if Cyndi Loper (5) encounters any trouble from the Buehrer horses.

Secondary Choices

Among the Buehrer trio, Momacya (2) at 4-1 with Goncalves in the irons appears to be the barn's top runner based on odds. Giveitaspin (1) and Den's Dazzler (3) are both at 4-1 and 5-1 respectively. Goncalves has been active and effective tonight, and Momacya (2) from post 2 with a capable jockey may be positioned best to take advantage of any pace collapse from the outside horses. When a trainer enters multiple horses, small differences in morning line and jockey assignment reveal preferences — here, the Goncalves-Momacya (2) combination is the Buehrer barn's most likely choice for the winner.

Giveitaspin (1) at 4-1 with Cabrera from the rail is a legitimate stakes threat. Cabrera is the most accomplished rider among the three Buehrer jockeys on this race, and the rail post at nine and a half furlongs gives Giveitaspin (1) every chance to control the inside ground throughout.

Longshots

Den's Dazzler (3) at 5-1 for Buehrer with L.S. Quinonez completes the three-pack. At 5-1, this is the longest of the Buehrer trio and the barn's apparent third choice, but in a six-horse stakes field, nothing can be entirely dismissed. Quinonez is a capable professional who will find a spot.

Six Gun Sally (4) at 8-1 for Vic Hanson with Isaiah Wiseman is the other non-Buehrer, non-Bravo, non-Offolter entry. Hanson has horses in both stakes races tonight and clearly believes he has competitive Oklahoma-breds. At 8-1, Six Gun Sally (4) is a superfecta inclusion but not a primary investment.

Betting Strategy

Cyndi Loper (5) at 2-1 is the top choice in this stakes race. The Buehrer three-pack creates noise but also creates pace complexity that could benefit the outside horses running their own races. Exactas of Cyndi Loper (5) over Inca Code (6) and Cyndi Loper (5) over Momacya (2) are the primary structures. A trifecta using Cyndi Loper (5) over Inca Code (6) with the Buehrer horses filling third is a reasonable structure. The Buehrer horse Giveitaspin (1) at 4-1 from the rail with Cabrera is an interesting exacta play over Cyndi Loper (5) at upset prices.

Selections

Win: Cyndi Loper (5) Place: Inca Code (6) Show: Momacya (2)

RACE 9 — Post 11:14 — 1540f | D | N | OkStallnH50k | BOC | Purse $50,000

The Oklahoma Stallion Handicap is the companion stakes to Race 8 and runs at the same nine and a half furlong distance with a $50,000 purse. Six horses entered. How About Bob (2) and I Am What I Am (4) share co-favorite status at 2-1 each, making this the most evenly priced stakes race on the card.

Pace Analysis

With two co-favorites at 2-1 in a six-horse field, the pace in this stakes route figures to be competitive. How About Bob (2) for trainer Patrick E. Swan with David Cabrera is drawn at post 2, and I Am What I Am (4) for trainer Robbin Caldwell with Weston Hamilton draws post 4. The inner posts for both co-favorites give them positional advantages. C W Dazzle (6) at 5-1 for Joe Offolter with Richard E. Eramia — a back-to-back Offolter stakes entry — will be running from the outside. Sandthefloor (1) at 6-1 for Scott Young with Wethey Jr. gets the rail.

The pace scenario will likely see one of the co-favorites pressing the other, with the horses on the outside having to find ground. At nine and a half furlongs in a competitive stakes, the horse that saves ground and conserves energy in the early going has the advantage.

Key Contenders

How About Bob (2) at 2-1 for Patrick E. Swan with Cabrera has several advantages. Post 2 in a route is ideal — inside trip, clean break, conserves ground. Cabrera is arguably the most experienced jockey in this race and has been effective throughout the night. Swan is a trainer who has placed horses appropriately at the Oklahoma-bred stakes level, and the 2-1 co-favorite status is well-earned.

I Am What I Am (4) at 2-1 for Robbin Caldwell with Weston Hamilton is equally compelling. Hamilton has been active and capable throughout the card, and Caldwell's operation clearly has a live horse here. At post 4 in a six-horse field, I Am What I Am (4) has a workable trip into the first turn.

Secondary Choices

C W Dazzle (6) at 5-1 for Offolter with Eramia follows the trainer's double-stakes strategy tonight. With Inca Code (6) in the filly stakes and C W Dazzle (6) in the stallion stakes, Offolter is clearly confident in his Oklahoma-bred horses. At 5-1 in a race with two 2-1 co-favorites, C W Dazzle (6) represents genuine value as the third price if the co-favorites press each other to fatigue.

Flashout (5) at 8-1 for J.R. Caldwell with Rene Diaz is a mid-range longshot from post 5. Caldwell is an active trainer tonight, and Diaz is a capable jockey, but 8-1 in a competitive stakes race is a reach.

Longshots

Sandthefloor (1) at 6-1 for Young and Wethey has the rail post which is a clear advantage in a nine-and-a-half-furlong race. Young has had a productive card tonight, and Wethey has been one of the night's busiest and most effective riders. The 6-1 price with the inside trip makes Sandthefloor (1) a legitimate value play that deserves attention on tickets.

Buck Pie (3) at 8-1 for Offolter with Jose L. Alvarez gives Offolter a third stake representative on the night. Alvarez is a capable jockey, and Buck Pie (3) at 8-1 with post 3 is a reasonable superfecta inclusion.

Betting Strategy

With two co-favorites at 2-1, the exacta box between How About Bob (2) and I Am What I Am (4) is the most logical play but will return modest money given the prices. The value play is to include Sandthefloor (1) at 6-1 with the rail trip and C W Dazzle (6) at 5-1 as the Offolter pace-beater in exacta and trifecta structures. A trifecta wheel with How About Bob (2) and I Am What I Am (4) on top, all others in the middle, and C W Dazzle (6) and Sandthefloor (1) in third represents a well-constructed ticket.

Selections

Win: How About Bob (2) Place: I Am What I Am (4) Show: Sandthefloor (1)

RACE 10 — Post 11:42 — 1650f | T | C | Clm 30000b | BUM | Purse $31,000

The card closes with a mile-on-the-turf $30,000 claiming race for fillies and mares. Twelve horses are entered, making this the largest field on the card. The morning line ranges from 4-1 down to 20-1, with Ziti (3) at 4-1 and Bingo Baby (12) at 5-1 sharing top billing. As noted earlier, turf conditions should be monitored given the late-evening timing and any pre-race precipitation.

Pace Analysis

In a twelve-horse field on the turf at a mile, pace is typically tactical and controlled through the first six furlongs before the stretch battle begins. Ziti (3) at 4-1 for trainer Dick Cappellucci with Floyd Wethey Jr. has been established as the morning line top choice. Bingo Baby (12) at 5-1 for Robertino Diodoro with Geovanni Franko-Angeles is the other top selection from the far outside post — a concern on the turf where inside trips are precious. With twelve horses, traffic will be a significant factor, and horses that secure position early near the inside rail will have a meaningful advantage.

Key Contenders

Ziti (3) at 4-1 for Cappellucci and Wethey is the morning line favorite and presents a compelling case. Post 3 on the turf in a twelve-horse field is nearly ideal — inside enough to save ground, outside enough to avoid being trapped. Wethey has been the busiest and most effective jockey on the entire card tonight, and having the leading rider on the top choice in the finale is not a coincidence. Cappellucci's turf record in the region is worth noting as a trainer who knows how to prepare horses for turf routes.

Bingo Baby (12) at 5-1 for Diodoro and Franko-Angeles faces the tactical challenge of the outside post in a twelve-horse turf field. Diodoro is one of the top trainers in the region and has placed multiple horses on tonight's card. The question is whether Bingo Baby (12) can overcome the ground loss from post 12 — in a one-mile turf race, that is a significant but not insurmountable challenge for a horse with enough ability.

Secondary Choices

C W Charm (6) at 6-1 for Offolter with D.L. Parker is the trainer's fourth horse on the card tonight, and Offolter has been active in claiming and stakes races alike. Post 6 in a twelve-horse turf field is a solid draw, and Parker is a capable jockey. If Ziti (3) and Bingo Baby (12) set a strong pace, C W Charm (6) from a mid-field tracking position could be the beneficiary.

Timeless Love (1) at 8-1 for Asmussen with Erik Asmussen has the rail, which is always a premium turf post. The 8-1 morning line is notable given the inside post advantage, and with the Asmussen barn — which has been active throughout the card — backing this horse, the value may be better than it appears. An Asmussen horse on the rail in a turf closer is never to be dismissed lightly.

Stone Cold Lover (9) at 8-1 for Corderman with I.V. Diego is a mid-price selection that could find a clean trip from post 9. Corderman has been active with turf horses tonight.

Longshots

Kause I'm Devine (4) at 8-1 for Mary Knox with R.A. Vazquez is a mid-range price from post 4 on the turf. Knox is a lesser-profile trainer, and 8-1 is a fair morning line.

Flyin Withthe Boss (5) at 12-1 for Terry Eoff with Weston Hamilton has Hamilton coming off a busy night. Eoff is a moderate trainer at this level.

Talkin Cadee (8) at 12-1 for Young and Fernando Jara gives Scott Young another turf entrant. Young has been strong throughout the card, and Jara is an effective turf rider, but 12-1 for a Young horse at this level is steep.

Balmorhea (2) at 15-1 for Tristan Ashford with Lane J. Luzzi, Catale Winemixer (10) at 12-1 for Randy E. Swango with Goncalves, Cafezinho (11) at 20-1 for Mindy Willis with S. Elliott, and Wilburnsclassylady (7) at 20-1 for Ronnie Cravens III with Rene Diaz are all deep longshots in a twelve-horse turf field. At a mile on the turf in a competitive claiming race, 15-1 and beyond horses rarely factor without a significant pace collapse.

Betting Strategy

Ziti (3) at 4-1 is the play in the finale. Wethey has been the best jockey on the card all night, and closing on that combination with a top-choice horse in the final race is a strong position. Exactas of Ziti (3) over Bingo Baby (12) and Ziti (3) over C W Charm (6) are the primary structures. The value play is Timeless Love (1) at 8-1 from the rail in exactas over Ziti (3) — if the Asmussen horse gets the rail trip it deserves, the combination could pay well. A trifecta wheel using Ziti (3), Bingo Baby (12), and Timeless Love (1) in rotating positions across the top three spots is a reasonable multi-race investment.

Selections

Win: Ziti (3) Place: Bingo Baby (12) Show: C W Charm (6)

Jockey Notes and Insights

Floyd Wethey Jr. is the jockey to watch on this entire card. He draws mounts in eight of the ten races, including the morning line top choice in Race 10 — Ziti (3) — and the morning line favorite in Race 6 — Penny Powers (7). Wethey is also aboard Mr Oklahoma (3) in Race 3, Little Mary (7) in Race 5, Metric Man (5) in Race 7, Cyndi Loper (5) in Race 8 — the 2-1 favorite in the stakes — Sandthefloor (1) in Race 9, and Ziti (3) in Race 10. A jockey who draws this many live mounts across an entire card is riding in peak form and deserves to be followed as a primary consideration in every race he enters.

David Cabrera is another jockey to follow tonight, drawing high-quality assignments throughout the card including the even-money morning line favorite Threesocks (2) in Race 7 and How About Bob (2) in the co-2-1 stakes favorite position in Race 9. Cabrera is clearly the go-to jockey for multiple top barns on this card, and his presence on a horse at any price should elevate that horse's consideration.

Fernando Jara, riding for Francisco Bravo among others, has been effective throughout the meet. Gonnabeagoodday (6) in Race 2 at 2-1 is his top chance on the card, and his presence on that horse makes it the most defensible favorite of the early card.

Erik Asmussen continues to develop his credentials riding for the family stable. He pilots Scribble (2) in Race 4 at 2-1 and Ryvitetta (11) in Race 5 at 4-1. When the Asmussen barn sends out co-favorites with the family jockey, the win percentage on those horses is high.

S. Elliott draws some significant mounts including Hedge The Risk (1) at 2-1 in Race 3 and Express Street (6) at 6-1 in Race 5. Elliott is a reliable jockey at Remington who handles both sprint and route conditions well.

Leandro R. Goncalves draws the co-2-1 shot Momacya (2) for the Buehrer barn in Race 8 as well as Runaway Okie (3) in Race 6 and Whip (4) in Race 1. Goncalves is an aggressive rider who takes advantage of positional opportunities.

Trainer Notes and Insights

Scott E. Young is the most active trainer on the card with horses entered in seven of ten races. Young runs a large string at Remington and consistently places horses at appropriate levels. Tonight he saddles Mr Oklahoma (3) and CODE ELEVEN — wait, Code Eleven (6) is Davis — in Race 3, dual entries Penny Powers (7) and Runaway Okie (3) in Race 6, Sandthefloor (1) in Race 9, and Talkin Cadee (8) and ZITI — wait, Ziti (3) is Cappellucci — in Race 10. Young's dual entries in Race 6 with Penny Powers (7) at 2-1 and Runaway Okie (3) at 4-1 is a clear example of a barn that has genuine confidence in its horses at this level.

Francisco Bravo is the trainer to respect in the stakes division. He saddles Gonnabeagoodday (6) in Race 2, dual entries Metric Man (5) and R P M Revved (3) in Race 7, and Cyndi Loper (5) at 2-1 in the Race 8 Oklahoma Stallion Filly and Mare Handicap. Bravo clearly has a competitive stable and his horses are consistently well-placed.

Joe S. Offolter runs horses in five races tonight — Code Of The South (6) in Race 6, It's Not Unusual (7) in Race 7, Inca Code (6) in Race 8, C W Dazzle (6) and Buck Pie (3) in Race 9, and C W Charm (6) in Race 10. This level of activity on a single card indicates a very active and productive stable that knows the Remington circuit well. His double-stakes entry with Inca Code (6) and C W Dazzle (6) in the two Oklahoma-bred stakes races suggests genuine confidence in his Oklahoma-bred stock.

Mark W. Buehrer's three-horse entry in the Race 8 Oklahoma Stallion Filly and Mare Handicap — Giveitaspin (1), Momacya (2), and Den's Dazzler (3) — is the most unusual barn angle on the card. While this creates tactical complexity, the morning line on Momacya (2) and Giveitaspin (1) being tightest suggests those two are the preferred horses.

Steven M. Asmussen has entries across the card including the co-2-1 favorite Scribble (2) in Race 4, and three-horse representation in Race 5 with Ryvitetta (11) and Express Street (6) as co-4-1 and 6-1 respectively, plus Timeless Love (1) at 8-1 in Race 10. Asmussen's presence at Remington is always notable — his stable wins at a high clip wherever it runs.

Robertino Diodoro has dual entries in Race 5 — Chocolate Praline (4) at 8-1 and I'm A Ten (12) at 5-1 — plus Bingo Baby (12) at 5-1 in Race 10. Diodoro is one of the top trainers in the region and his horses warrant serious consideration at any price.

Danny Pish saddles multiple horses including Send The Boss (4) in Race 3 and co-entries Volden (8) and Connie'scalculator (1) in Race 5. When Pish enters two in the same race, Volden (8) is clearly preferred by morning line.

M. Brent Davidson runs horses in four races tonight — In Bond We Trust (2) in Race 1, Sixhoofsevenhoof (5) in Race 3, Dig Baby Dig (4) in Race 4, and Double R Cat (4) in Race 2. Davidson is an active trainer at Remington and his horses tend to run competitively.

Best Wagering Strategies and Value Plays

The most important overarching angle on this card is the Wethey factor. Floyd Wethey Jr. riding eight horses across ten races on a card where he is clearly the top rider creates a situation where his mounts deserve a credit bump in every race. When he is aboard a morning line favorite — Cyndi Loper (5) in Race 8 and Penny Powers (7) in Race 6 — those horses become near-automatic singles. When he is aboard a 4-1 or 5-1 horse, the price becomes generous given his effectiveness.

The best value play on the card is Girls Got Game (2) at 4-1 in Race 6. The combination of the inside turf post, a trainer who specializes in fillies and mares in their ideal conditions, and a capable jockey against a 2-1 favorite from the outside post in a turf race makes this the most compelling price play of the evening. A win bet on Girls Got Game (2) is the card's top value investment.

The best single on the card is Scribble (2) in Race 4. The Asmussen stable with Erik Asmussen in the irons at 2-1 is as reliable as any combination at a regional track. Use Scribble (2) as the anchor for any multi-race exotic sequences.

For the Pick 4 covering Races 7 through 10, the structure would be built as follows: Threesocks (2) as the single in Race 7 — the 1-1 morning line makes this nearly automatic. Then Cyndi Loper (5) as the single in Race 8, leveraging the Bravo-Wethey combination. In Race 9, use How About Bob (2) and I Am What I Am (4) as a two-horse spread. In Race 10, use Ziti (3) and Bingo Baby (12) and Timeless Love (1) as a three-horse spread. This Threesocks (2) over Cyndi Loper (5) over How About Bob (2)/I Am What I Am (4) over Ziti (3)/Bingo Baby (12)/Timeless Love (1) structure — which translates to a 1x1x2x3 combination totaling six tickets — should produce a meaningful payout if even one of the priced horses (Timeless Love (1) at 8-1 or I Am What I Am (4) at 2-1 as the upset) comes through.

The best exotic play on the entire card is a trifecta in Race 8 using Cyndi Loper (5) on top, Inca Code (6) in second, and a spread
