$100K Mardi Gras Stakes at the Fair Grounds, Tues., Feb. 17, 2026

The Track-IQ framework had the winner this afternoon in the $100K Mardi Gras stakes at 5 1/2f on the turf for fillies and mares four-years-old and up with its Primary selection of #6 Shining Star (GB) at 1-2. The horse was a heavy underlay at that price versus his theoretical odds of 2.7-1 and M/L of 5-2 but was also undefeated at the track in one start and was 2-2 at the distance coming in. The Brad Cox trained horse paid $3.00 for the win.

For the rest of the card, the framework performed very well, having the winner with its Primary, Secondary or Tertiary selections in all seven races covered (100%). It also had the exacta order correct with P/S/T horses in four out of the seven race (57%). Here’s the full report, results and audit.
