Albuquerque Picks & Predictions — June 19, 2026

Cyber Tex has a 54.17 rating that's essentially a dead heat with Trenchtown in terms of figure class, and the 9/2 morning line reflects that near-parity. Jockey Jordy Soto Muniz rides for trainer Juan Esquivel in what shapes up as the most logical exacta partner with the top selection. In maiden races this short, post position and breaking ability matter enormously — Cyber Tex in the 6-hole has a workable trip to get into this.

Cyber Daddy grades out at 45.0 on the TrackWiz scale, a meaningful step below the top two but still well clear of the field's bottom half. Trainer Marco A. Flores deploys Sergio Becerra, Jr. — a jockey with multiple mounts on today's card — which suggests the connections are active and engaged. At 10/1, this is a legitimate exotic play that rounds out the trifecta at a price that could boost payouts nicely.

My Chocolate Martini checks in at 73.59 — a clear second-best in the field — and is priced at 6/1, which represents a touch of value given that rating. Oscar Andrade, Jr. gets the mount for trainer Jorge Luis Sanchez, Jr., a pairing that's active throughout today's card at Albuquerque. If the top choice runs into any trouble in the gates or off the break, My Chocolate Martini has the raw talent to capitalize.

Billbo Bagins sits at 56.67 on the TrackWiz scale and opens at 3/1 — the second-shortest price on the board — suggesting the betting public may be higher on this one than the ratings alone imply. Trainer James J. Gonzales III uses Jesse James Gonzales in the saddle, and this horse is the third-best rated in the field by a clear margin over the remaining nine runners. Worth including in all exotic combinations as a hedge.

Triple 7 opens at 5/2 and posts a 75.37 rating alongside a 22% career win rate — one of the better win conversion numbers in this field. Trainer James J. Gonzales III uses Joseph Belloc, Jr. in the irons, the same stable that fields Mw Heart of a Hero in the same race. The barn clearly has a strong presence in this one, and Triple 7's proven ability to win makes it a natural place horse even if Ivorys Patriot gets the better of it.

Mw Heart of a Hero carries a 67.33 rating but the eye-popping number here is the 50% career win rate — the highest of any horse on today's 10-race card. Trainer James J. Gonzales III has double representation in this race, and Christian Cardenas pilots this one at a juicy 7/2 morning line. That win rate suggests a horse that's been in top form at some point in its career; at 7/2, it's too interesting to leave off the ticket.

Hockalishous grades out at 81.92 — a strong second in the field — and opens at 6/1, which is a touch long given how close the figures are to the top selection. Trainer Juan Esquivel uses Jordy Soto Muniz, a jockey with a busy book today across multiple races. In a maiden claiming race at this distance, the top two or three rated horses nearly always hit the board, and Hockalishous is squarely in that group.

Ladies Kiss My Hocks posts a 78.47 rating and is priced at 7/2 — shorter than Hockalishous despite a slightly lower figure, which suggests trainer Jose Ignacio DeHerrera's barn carries weight with the local market. Jorge Nieto-Saenz gets the mount in what is one of multiple calls today for this jockey. At 7/2, this horse is a cornerstone of the exotic ticket and represents solid value as the third element in a trifecta.

Fly High Sammy checks in at 68.44 on the TrackWiz scale, which rates as a legitimate contender in this field, but the 15/1 morning line is a significant overlay if the figure is accurate. Trainer Jorge A. Morales-Flores deploys Jesse Lee Levario — a go-to jockey today — and this horse's zero career win rate shouldn't overshadow what the ratings suggest about its underlying ability. In the place pool, 15/1 on a horse rated this high is a genuine value opportunity.

Rowdy Moon sits at 68.43 — essentially identical in rating to Fly High Sammy — and opens at a much more modest 7/2 on the morning line. Trainer Jason L. Driver puts Jose Alonzo Lopez up in this allowance spot. A 10% career win rate shows this horse has been competitive before, and the near-perfect ratings match with the place pick suggests the show pool could offer a reasonable consolation if both trail Prime Time Eagle home.

Tempting Chad rates at 75.81 — a clear second in the field — and opens at 7/2 on the morning line. Trainer Mario Dominguez-Garcia puts Jacob Enriquez up, and a 16% career win rate is consistent with a horse that competes hard without always getting to the wire first. In a race where the win pick looks solid, the place pool on Tempting Chad at this price is a logical extension of the ticket.

Kj Wildthang posts a 67.94 rating and opens at 6/1 with a 19% career win rate — one of the better conversion figures in this competitive allowance field. Trainer Wesley T. Giles uses Noe Garcia, Jr., who also rides Haughty Vaquero in the same race, though Kj Wildthang is clearly the stronger figure. At 6/1, this is a legitimate show bet and a solid third element in exacta and trifecta combinations.

Woody Rocks rates at 73.45 and opens at 7/2 — and the 41% career win rate is the second-highest in this loaded field. Trainer Tony E. Sedillo sends Luis Martinez to post, and a horse with a 41% career win rate at any level is simply difficult to leave off the ticket. If Hm Bigdad Relentless gets the best of it, Woody Rocks has the historical pattern of competing at the wire.

Who U Daddy checks in at 70.34 on the TrackWiz scale and opens at 8/1, making this a mild overlay given a rating that slots third in the field. Trainer Michelle Salazar uses Jacob Enriquez, and while the 13% career win rate is the most modest of the three picks here, the figure is strong enough to expect a competitive effort. In a race with multiple horses carrying 30-plus percent win rates, the exotics could pay well if the chalk runs through — and Who U Daddy provides legitimate show coverage at a price.

Alstarr rates at 57.68 — the second-best figure in the race — and comes in at 7/2 on the morning line, suggesting the barn draws respect from the local betting market. Trainer Marco A. Flores uses Sergio Becerra, Jr., a jockey with multiple high-profile mounts across today's program. In maiden races, the second-best figure almost always finds the board, and Alstarr's slight ratings edge over the other mid-field horses makes it the cleaner place play.

Je King of Hearts posts a 57.04 rating — fractionally behind Alstarr — and opens at 8/1 on the morning line, which is a genuine overlay for a horse rated this competitively in a maiden finale. Trainer Albert Valles sends Eugenio Alberto Navarrete, Jr. to the gate, and in a wide-open mid-tier that includes Brown Eyed Daddy and Wild Tymes, Je King of Hearts has the ratings to distinguish itself as the third element worth backing in the exotics.
