Large fields, large number of combinations, large payouts. The 20-cent Pick 4 at Woodbine often plays out that way. The sequence covering races 7 through 10 this Friday, June 13 takes shape this way:

WDB 7th race (4:00 p.m. EST) -- Three of the 10 entrants are eligible for this race, having not won in the last year. But with 16 wins between them, they make the ticket against seven rivals who are a combined 14-for-128 with two wins apiece. STYLISH GENT raced in-hand on the backstretch, set a pressured pace on the turn and stopped in the final furlong against open $7,500 claimers. He can go non-stop off the Adamo claim in his second start in 2025. U S ARMY CORPS is a steady 70 Beyer type with an 18/4-2-2 record on Woodbine’s synthetic track and a useful showing off a five-month layoff. TOLD IT ALL dropped in for the cheapest claiming price of his career but dropped out of the race with a terrible start. He raced erratically most of the way as the favorite but flashed some run when he wasn’t headstrong.

WDB 8th race (4:30 p.m. EST) -- CANYOUHEARMERUNNIN is 5-for-12, has tactical speed and ran second in a stakes race at Assiniboia Downs off a similar layoff. But the layoff after a December claim is a concern for how well he ran last out, making a quick move at the quarter pole, leading briefly in mid-stretch and missing in a photo finish in a longer sprint. MAMBA ON THREE, hard-used dueling inside a pair of rivals, went down fighting as the beaten 5-1/2F favorite but can make amends with a similar effort at 5F. DETERMINED FURY lacked room at the 1/8th pole but got up to beat ‘Mamba’ for his second win in a row and improve to 17/4-2-4 over the surface. GRAINGER COUNTY is an ultra-consistent sprinter, looking to pick up where he left off in 2024 with three photo-finish victories in seven starts. EXECUTIVE SEARCH, a twice-beaten favorite in long sprints to close 2024, will need some pace to rally into in his seasonal debut, but trainer Martin Drexler is hot, so use him on the ticket.

WDB 9th race (5:00 p.m. EST) -- Half the field in this one-mile starter allowance arrives off victories, but only CAUSIN’ MAYHEM has a turf win on his resume. Then there’s MY SEA COTTAGE, who has speed, drops and gets in light-weighted for the red-hot Mark Casse barn. Or HEMLO GOLD, who just missed in a 7F sprint on the synthetic track off a five-month layoff and posted an 81 Beyer in winning his prior start on turf. Go five-deep in Leg C of the Pick 4.

WDB 10th race (5:30 p.m. EST) -- CLIVE CROSS has done little in four starts at this level, but he deserves a second look off a pair of sizzling recent workouts in :46 and :47 flat over the track. I’M NOT LOST, one of three first-time starters in the field for owner Bruno Schickedanz, goes post-ward for trainer Norman McKnight, who is on a 9-for-38 run with maiden claimers with a positive R.O.I. TRUE SHOT found his best stride while 6-wide in the stretch of a shorter comeback sprint dominated by the favorites. BENNYS JETS gave way chasing the 5-2 second favorite through fast fractions but can carry his speed farther from the rail in this spot.
