Latest Retama Park Free Picks
Retama Park hasn't raced since August 22, 2026. We publish free picks for every Retama Park card — below are the picks from that last card.
Race 1
Claiming · 300 yd · Dirt
A wide-open 10-horse claiming sprint at 300 yards where the TrackWiz ratings reveal a massive gap between the top tier and the bottom half — expect the numbers to sort this one out quickly.
Volcom Tac draws our top rating in this field at 84.9 — a significant edge over everyone else on the board. Trainer Brittany N. Tellez keeps this one sharp, and jockey Froylan Tellez Ramirez knows this horse well, which is a partnership angle we always respect at a regional oval. The morning line of 9/2 offers real value given how far ahead of the field the TrackWiz model has this horse — don't let the 20% career win rate fool you in a race this short.
Dorlena grades out second in the field with a 69.78 rating and earns the morning-line favoritism at 3/1, which tells you the market agrees she belongs near the top. Jockey Leonardo V. Reyes picks up the mount for trainer Arnold Lewis, and at the short 300-yard distance there's very little margin for error — Dorlena's overall profile suggests she'll fire cleanly. A solid place horse even if Volcom Tac gets rolling.
Poppin Pursuit carries a 55.83 rating and an impressive 50% career win rate, which stands out in a field where several runners are well below that mark. Trainer Ben Olaveson sends this one out with Luis L. Vivanco aboard, and at 7/2 on the morning line there's legitimate upside here. Use this one underneath in your exotics — the win percentage alone makes the show spot very defensible.
Race 2
Maiden · 440 yd · Dirt
A maiden sprint at 440 yards where none of these horses have broken their maiden yet, but the TrackWiz ratings show a clear three-horse tier pulling away from the rest of the field — this one may not be as mysterious as maiden races usually are.
Political Assasin (No. 10) tops this maiden field with an 84.9 TrackWiz rating — matching the ceiling of what we typically see at this level. Trainer Elida Bustamante sends this one out with Francisco Calderon in the irons, and the 9/2 morning line represents fair value for a horse that grades out significantly ahead of most of this field. In maiden sprints, raw ability tends to shine through, and our model sees this one as the class of the group.
Shes Team Wild (No. 1) checks in at 78.48 on our ratings scale — second-best in the field — and gets the favorable rail draw to work with. Trainer Aracely Mejia sends this one out with Noe Villatoro up, and at 7/2 on the morning line she's right where the market expects her. If Political Assasin stumbles at the gate, this one has the profile to steal the win, making her a must-use in exactas.
Ym Flyin (No. 7) rates at 75.27 and draws the public's attention as the morning-line favorite at 3/1 — which means the show spot here could pay very little if she runs her race. Trainer Enrique Alvarado and jockey Ali Rivera represent a capable combination, and at 440 yards there's enough ground to sort out any early traffic issues. She's the logical third wheel in your tri plays.
Race 3
Maiden · 350 yd · Dirt
Another maiden sprint, this time at 350 yards, where Cyber Intelligence has posted a standout rating that separates the top two from the rest of a competitive middle pack — a potential chalk race with a solid secondary tier to fill out your tickets.
Cyber Intelligence (No. 10) tops this field with an 87.81 TrackWiz rating — the highest number on today's maiden card — and draws the morning-line favoritism at 5/2, which means the public is already on board. Trainer Gilberto Gonzalez hands Jose R. Herbert the reins, and at 350 yards the race will be decided in a blink — this horse's dominant rating suggests it gets out of the gate cleanest and fastest. Back this one with confidence as the win pick.
Back Check (No. 5) rates at 61.55 — a clear step ahead of the mid-pack — and Raul Ramirez, Jr. gets the call for trainer Marc E. Jungers, a combination that carries some credibility. At 9/2 on the morning line there's reasonable value here for the place slot, and in a maiden race where anything can happen at the break, having a solid second option is key. This one profiles as your best exacta partner with Cyber Intelligence.
Hock Ajet (No. 1) earns a 59.41 rating and draws the rail — a neutral-to-slight advantage in a short sprint — with Rosendo E. Pina Garcia aboard for trainer Rene Talamantes. The 7/2 morning line puts this one right in the mix as a legitimate contender, and the rating gap between Hock Ajet and the rest of the field below is meaningful. Use in your trifecta as the third leg.
