Latest Albuquerque Free Picks
Albuquerque is not racing today. Below are the free picks from the last Albuquerque card, August 9, 2026.
Race 1
Trial · 440 yd · Dirt
A heavy favorite dominates the morning line in this 440-yard dirt trial, but a pair of capable contenders lurk beneath the surface and could make the exotics interesting.
Toby Sis enters as the clear class standout, carrying a TrackWiz rating of 90 — the highest in the field by a comfortable margin — and a jaw-dropping 80% career win rate. At 4/5 on the morning line, Francisco Calderon gets the call for trainer Raymond G. Valerio, and this combo looks like a straight business transaction in a 440-yard sprint. In trials like this, raw ability tends to cut through the noise quickly, and Toby Sis has the profile of a horse that simply doesn't get beat when on her game.
Lookatme Z checks in with the second-highest TrackWiz rating in the race at 76.34, giving Juan Pulido a live runner to work with under trainer Samuel Mendoza. A 12% career win rate suggests this one can run into a wall against elite competition, but a place effort behind Toby Sis is well within reach at 3/1.
Eyedeale is the value inclusion in the show spot, rated 56.05 and posted at 10/1 — solid overlay potential if you're building trifectas. The 20% career win rate under trainer Juan L. Vazquez and jockey James A. Flores gives this runner just enough credibility to sneak a check in a field where the top two have a big gap on the rest.
Race 2
Trial · 440 yd · Dirt
This trial is unusually competitive at the top, with three horses rated above 74 and the morning-line favorite not even the highest-rated horse in the field — value seekers, take note.
Shezdanstyforsure is our top selection despite going off at 6/1, and that's exactly where the value lives. She's the top-rated horse in the field at 82.71 — above even the 3/1 morning-line choice — and backs it up with a robust 42% career win rate. Trainer Adam Archuleta sends her out with James A. Flores in the irons, and in a 440-yard trial where the clock doesn't lie, her profile suggests she's underlaid by the public.
Wera C is the morning-line favorite at 3/1 for good reason — a 77.57 TrackWiz rating and an outstanding 45% career win rate make her a formidable presence under trainer Marco Adair Chavez-Gutierrez. Jonathan Dominguez gets the mount, and while we think Shezdanstyforsure has the edge, Wera C is absolutely a horse you want in your exactas.
Rock Star Martini rounds out the top three at 9/2, rated 74.65 with a 37% career win rate — numbers that hold up well in this company. Trainer Rodolfo G. Valles and jockey Joseph Belloc Jr. represent a reliable barn-and-rider combination, and at that price, Rock Star Martini offers solid value for exotic players looking to cover the third slot.
Race 3
Trial · 440 yd · Dirt
The morning-line order and the TrackWiz ratings diverge sharply here — the 6/1 shot comes out on top of our ratings, which creates a potentially lucrative overlay in the win pool.
Mw Bcause Im First earns the top pick despite 6/1 morning-line odds, because she tops the field with an 82.71 TrackWiz rating and pairs it with a dominant 57% career win rate. Trainer Rodolfo G. Valles teams with jockey Christian Cardenas, a combination that clearly knows how to get horses ready for trials. The raw numbers say she's more horse than the price reflects.
Ruse Ticle Knockout is right there with an 80.55 rating — just a hair off the top — and a 41% career win rate that signals consistent competitiveness. Edwin G. Escobedo rides for trainer Marc E. Jungers, and at 9/2, this horse covers the place ticket nicely while offering some win-pool upside as well.
Apollirevenge is the morning-line second choice at 9/5 and carries an 80% career win rate that screams class in a trial setting. The 77.53 rating lands third in the field, making this the show pick by ratings — and trainer Jed H. Vane with jockey Jesus Rios Ayala is a combination that knows how to place runners in the money.
