Woodbine picks today — the card at a glance
Saturday, November 14, 2026 at Woodbine in Toronto: #3 My Boy Prince (28.3%) heads the only graded stakes in North America today, the Grade 2 bet365 Kennedy Road Stakes, on an 11-race all-synthetic card from 1:05 p.m. Eastern. #3 My Boy Prince is the name to know, and the Kennedy Road is the race the whole day builds toward. Conditions are cloudy and cold — 43°F on the Edge board, with Equibase listing the all-weather surface fast, a north-northwest wind at 15 mph, and — rarest of all on a Saturday — no scratches and no surface changes anywhere on the card. Every field stands exactly as drawn. The percentages below are our Edge V2 model's win probability for each horse — the higher the number, the more likely the model makes that horse to win. Every rating below was read this morning from the individual Edge race pages and scratch-checked against the Equibase changes page, updated at 10:10 a.m. Eastern today.

Woodbine Race 10 pick: #3 My Boy Prince (28.3%)
The finale (5:42 p.m. ET) is the $200,000 Grade 2 bet365 Kennedy Road Stakes over six furlongs on the synthetic, and #3 My Boy Prince tops the read at 28.3%. The why is the strongest figure note on the Woodbine card: a speed figure of 103.0 near the field top, with his figures rising to a current 103, and a closer's profile in a race the pace map calls balanced rather than frantic — he does not need a meltdown, he just needs his run. At 5/2 on the morning line the price matches the model's number almost exactly, which makes this a quality play rather than a value hunt. The dangers are real: #5 Victory Achieved rates 19.8% with a current figure of 108 — actually higher than the pick's — and #4 Nobals, a name known to every Breeders' Cup sprint fan, rates 17.2% at 6/1. Behind them the field falls away to #1 G T Five Hundred at 9.6%. A Grade 2 with three genuine win chances is exactly the race a Saturday card should close with, and the model's edge goes to the horse whose figures are still rising. Our speed figures guide explains how we weigh a rising figure line against a single peak number.
Woodbine Race 7 pick: #6 Essex Serpent (25.9%)
Race 7 (4:06 p.m. ET) is an $80,000 allowance optional claimer over seven furlongs for a $131,500 purse, and Edge marks it as the card's Best Bet race. #6 Essex Serpent rates 25.9% on a speed figure of 100.0 near the field top, as the front-runner in a race the pace map projects as a meltdown — four of the six runners want the early lead. That sounds like a problem for a speed horse until you read it the other way: Essex Serpent is the speed of the speed, and if the others burn each other off chasing him, his 100 figure survives. At 5/2 he is the morning-line favourite. The closer case belongs to #4 Fighter in the Win at 22.8% (6/1) — if the meltdown is total, that is the horse picking up the pieces — with #3 He's Not Joking at 15.6% and #2 Western Whirl at 14.3% behind them. This is the best betting race on the card: a clear top two, opposite running styles, and a pace argument you can take either side of.

Woodbine Race 3 pick: #6 Edey (22.5%)
Race 3 (2:04 p.m. ET) is a $15,000 claiming race over six furlongs for a $41,300 purse, and #6 Edey tops a competitive read at 22.5%. The why is a speed figure of 74.0 near the field top paired with a closer's setup in another projected pace meltdown — three of the eight runners are early-speed types. At 2/1, Edey is the morning-line favourite, though the deeper read actually trims his first-pass number rather than building it up, which is the model being honest about a horse whose recent figures are falling from a high of 80 to a current 59. The chances bunch behind him: #4 Closing Appeal at 15.1%, #8 Scat Humor at 14.6% and #1 Astonesthrowaway at 13.9%. Nobody in this race is a lock, and the post treats it that way — a lean to the closer in a speed-heavy field, at a price that demands the trip works out.
