Latest Arapahoe Free Picks

Arapahoe hasn't raced since August 16, 2026. We publish free picks for every Arapahoe card — below are the picks from that last card.

Race 1

Stakes · 440 yd · Dirt

A short-field quarter-horse stakes at 440 yards where the ratings gap is significant — one runner stands clearly above the rest, but a scratch in the one-hole reshapes the early dynamics.

win3Sheza Fearless EagleML 2/1

Sheza Fearless Eagle is the class of this field by a comfortable margin, posting a TrackWiz rating of 88.54 — a full eight points clear of her nearest rivals. A 47% career win rate is elite at this level; nearly half the time this filly has pointed at a finish line, she's crossed it first. Edwin G. Escobedo gets the mount, and with Manriquez conditioning her, this barn knows how to fire them fresh in sprint conditions. At 2/1 on the morning line, the price is fair for the dominant figure in the race.

place2Hayleys EagleML 5/2

Hayleys Eagle checks in with the second-best rating in the field at 80.19 and owns a solid 33% career win percentage — meaning she's hit the board far more often than she's missed. Adrian F. Morales rides for trainer Jose Lionel Marquez, a stable that keeps horses fit and competitive in stakes company. At 5/2, she's a logical place horse who should be right there at the wire if the top pick hits any trouble.

show4Presido PeteML 3/1

Presido Pete matches Hayleys Eagle's rating of 80.19 and brings a 28% career win clip into this spot. Fernando Fonseca-Soto is in the irons for trainer Haley N. Hobbs, a combination that warrants respect. At 3/1, Pete looks like a reasonable exotics anchor — the rating cluster between the second and fourth horses in this field makes the show spot genuinely competitive.

Race 2

Claiming · 6 fur · Dirt

A six-furlong dirt claimer where one horse separates itself on the ratings sheet, but the Rushton family has a hand in several runners — keep an eye on how the pace scenario unfolds with similar average speeds across the field.

win5Right of RefusalML 2/1

Right of Refusal is the standout here with a TrackWiz rating of 88.54, the highest in this field by more than 21 points over the next closest. Trainer Trevor Rushton sends her out with Adrian B. Ramos in the irons, a sharp combination at this level. A 16% career win rate might look modest, but the rating profile says she's been running against better and is now primed to dominate. At 2/1 on the morning line, she's deservedly the chalk.

place4DodgeballML 5/2

Dodgeball is the second-rated horse in the field at 67.19 and shows a 19% career win percentage — respectable for the claiming ranks. Trainer Trevor Rushton also conditions Dodgeball, giving him two bullets in this race, which suggests the barn is confident in their overall firepower. At 5/2, she's a natural place horse if Right of Refusal clears away and the rest of the field jockeys for second.

show6Sweet HelloML 4/1

Sweet Hello rates third in this field at 63.12 and shares the top average speed figure in the race at 55, alongside Warren's Wild Ride and Screaming Virginia. Mike T. Luark pilots her for trainer Mark Esquibel, and at 4/1 she offers a touch of value for the show spot in exotics. If the pace heats up early among the speed horses, a closer like Sweet Hello could be picking up pieces late.

Race 3

Allowance · 6 fur · Dirt

A wide-open six-furlong allowance where the top two horses in the ratings are separated by less than four points — this one could easily go to a couple of different runners, making the exacta more interesting than a straight win bet.

win8TapperML 3/1

Tapper owns the top TrackWiz rating in this field at 87.08 and lands in the eight-hole, which sets up a potential wide trip but also keeps him out of early pace trouble. Trainer Mark N. Hibdon sends him out with David Cardoso aboard — Hibdon has multiple contenders in today's card, which speaks to his stable's current form. A 15% career win rate is serviceable at the allowance level, and his rating edge over the field is enough to make him the most reliable win play on the card in the free races.

place1Aunt AlexML 4/1

Aunt Alex is right behind Tapper in the ratings at 83.87, and trainer Robert J. Haar puts his own son Nathan in the saddle — that family connection often signals quiet confidence. A 9% career win rate looks low, but in a competitive allowance field, it may reflect tough spots rather than a lack of talent. At 4/1 on the morning line, she offers genuine each-way value and should be on every exacta ticket underneath Tapper.

show3Lady AdmiralML 5/1

Lady Admiral is the show pick here at 75.40 on the TrackWiz scale and brings an impressive 37% career win percentage to the table — easily the highest win rate among the contenders in this race. Trainer Stetson Rushton has Lady Admiral in the three-hole with Larren Delorme riding, a pairing that fires regularly at this meet. At 5/1, her high win percentage relative to her morning line makes her a legitimate show contender and an appealing exotic inclusion.
