Albuquerque Picks & Predictions — June 27, 2026

D Amor (No. 9) rates just a whisker behind at 84.74 and carries an eye-catching 66% career win rate — the highest of any horse in this race. Trainer Jason L. Olmstead has Gonzalo Gutierrez in the irons, and with numbers this strong, D Amor is as likely to win as place. At 3/1, there's real exacta interest pairing this one underneath Hes Rustless.

Tell a Scout (No. 7) is the morning-line chalk at 9/5 and owns a 50% career win rate, which is hard to dismiss in a trial format where experience counts. Trainer S. Trey Wood has Ricky Ramirez up, one of the more active riders on this card. The 73.36 rating slots third, making Tell a Scout a solid show-ticket anchor and a key to any trifecta play.

Favorite Famous Lady (No. 3) is the 5/2 morning-line favorite, which means the market is giving this horse more respect than the 57.50 TrackWiz rating strictly warrants — there may be a workout angle or local form factor baked into that line. Trainer Dee Keener and jockey Roman Cruz connect here, and the combination is worth noting. A horse the market respects at 5/2 in a trial is worth including on the board.

Locked In (No. 2) checks in with a 54.17 rating and Jose Luis Enriquez takes the mount for trainer Jaime Dominguez. The 9/2 morning line makes this horse a reasonable show ticket in what projects to be a three-horse top layer, and an inside post draw in a 400-yard dash means Locked In will have every opportunity to break cleanly and hold position.

Kissin Lane Lo (No. 1) is a fascinating place-bet angle — a 79.79 TrackWiz rating that is second-best in this field, yet the morning line has this horse at 8/1. That kind of ratings-to-odds discrepancy is exactly the value spot TrackWiz analysis is designed to identify. Trainer Jason L. Olmstead has Ramiro Haro Garcia aboard, and the inside post in a 400-yard sprint is a legitimate edge.

Chief Keef 123 (No. 2) carries a 50% career win rate and a 3/1 morning line, suggesting the market has genuine respect for this runner despite a TrackWiz rating of 56.67 that slots fifth in the field. Trainer Daniel R. Ruiz Amaya and jockey Luis Martinez are a consistent pairing on this card. As a show hedge, the established win percentage provides some confidence that this horse knows how to compete.

Flight History (No. 7) is the most intriguing horse in this race — a 100% career win rate means this runner has never been beaten. Trainer Kash Reed has Francisco Calderon up, and even though the 56.67 TrackWiz rating is just a tick below the win pick, an undefeated horse at 3/1 deserves serious respect. If you're building an exacta, pairing Rc One Eye Cat over Flight History — or reversing them — is the play.

Bp Gaither (No. 9) owns a 50% career win rate and a 54.17 TrackWiz rating, slotting third in a field where the ratings are genuinely close from third through fifth. Sergio Becerra, Jr. has been active on this card today and brings experience in the short sprint format. At 9/2, Bp Gaither is a fair show price with a win record that backs up the number.

Flying Cowboys Candy (No. 4) checks in at 84.16 — second best in the field and very close to the top pick — yet the morning line comes in at 3/1, making this a live place contender at a competitive price. Trainer Tony E. Sedillo sends out Luis Martinez, and the narrow ratings gap between this runner and Bp Good Policy means Flying Cowboys Candy could easily flip the result if the top pick has any issues at the start.

Flower Moone (No. 1) rates at 58.55 — a noticeable step below the top two but well clear of the rest — and draws the rail in a sprint where getting clean air early is paramount. Trainer S. Trey Wood puts Ricky Ramirez on the mount, and Ramirez has been one of the busier riders on this card. At 9/2, Flower Moone is a reasonable show anchor and trifecta key for players who want coverage behind the top pair.

Mounte Rushmore (No. 7) is separated from the win pick by less than a full rating point at 55.83, and crucially, this horse also carries a 50% career win rate — matching Revenantly exactly in that department. Jesus Rios Ayala gets the call for trainer Juan L. Vazquez, and at 7/2, there's genuine value to reversing this horse over the top pick in your exactas.

Relentless Delight (No. 2) rounds out a tightly-compressed trifecta with a 54.17 rating and the 9/2 morning line. Trainer Daniel R. Ruiz Amaya and jockey Luis Martinez are one of the most active pairings on today's card, which suggests a barn with horses ready to run. As the third wheel in what looks like a three-horse race at the top, Relentless Delight is a sound show bet and trifecta inclusion.

Jess a Bad Lil Cat (No. 8) brings the most compelling angle of any place pick on the card — a 100% career win rate that demands respect regardless of the 56.67 TrackWiz rating. Trainer David M. Gomez-Barraza sends Oscar Andrade, Jr. to the post, and at 3/1, a horse who has never lost is worth pairing underneath Herqlez. The form doesn't lie on an unbeaten runner.

Candy in My Arms (No. 5) rates at 54.17 and posts the third-best number in a field where positions three through nine are tightly grouped. Trainer John A. Stinebaugh has Gilberto Linares up, and the 9/2 morning line reflects a horse the market considers a legitimate board contender. In a race dominated by a heavy top choice, the show ticket on a fair-priced third has good expected value.

Mr Dragon Rider (No. 9) checks in at 56.67 — second best in the field — and carries a 50% career win rate that adds substance to the TrackWiz number. Trainer Marc E. Jungers has Edwin G. Escobedo in the irons, and the 3/1 morning line reflects solid market confidence in this runner as a board horse. In a race where the win pick looks dominant, Mr Dragon Rider is the most logical target for the place slot.

Runner On the Rise (No. 4) rates at 55.83 — just a fraction behind Mr Dragon Rider — and is priced at 7/2 on the morning line, making this a fair show price. Trainer Daniel R. Ruiz Amaya and jockey James A. Flores team up here, and the Ruiz Amaya barn has been active throughout the card today. The name is appropriate — a horse at this rating level in a field this compressed could absolutely move up.

Leaving London (No. 9) is separated from the win pick by less than a single rating point at 55.83, making this a genuine co-contender rather than a distant runner-up. Trainer Omar Vargas sends Sergio Becerra, Jr. to post, and at 7/2 on the morning line, the odds on Leaving London actually make it a slight value relative to the win pick. An exacta reversing these two top-rated horses is a sound play.

Rings of Power (No. 4) brings a 50% career win rate into this short-format trial and rates at 54.17 — third-best in the field. Trainer Wesley T. Giles has Noe Garcia, Jr. up, and the 9/2 morning line is a reasonable show price for a horse with proven competitive form. The win percentage is the key differentiator that bumps Rings of Power above similarly-rated horses in this race.

Apolitical Vip (No. 7) rates at 55.83 — essentially tied with the win pick in the ratings — and Jesse Lee Levario takes the mount for trainer Justino Tarin Saenz. The 7/2 morning line is within a half-point of the win pick's price, which means the market also sees these two as nearly inseparable. An exacta using both directions of the top two is the smart play in a race this close at the top.

Crossfyre (No. 6) checks in at 54.17 — third in the field — and trainer Jason L. Olmstead sends Ramiro Haro Garcia to the post. Olmstead is one of the busiest trainers on tonight's card with runners in multiple races, and the 9/2 morning line reflects a legitimate board contender. Crossfyre's rating may be modest, but in a compressed field like this, third-best is genuinely competitive.

Relentless Prize Mrb (No. 6) rates at 56.67 — just two points off Heatseeker V — and goes at 3/1 on the morning line, making this the value play in the race. Trainer Manuel Rodolfo Rodriguez has Gabriel Medrano up, and Medrano has been in action throughout the card today. If Heatseeker V gets any trouble at the break, Relentless Prize Mrb has the rating to capitalize immediately.

Jess Found a Dynasty (No. 5) posts a 54.17 TrackWiz rating — third in the field — and is priced at 9/2 on the morning line with Jesse Lee Levario taking the mount for trainer Joel J. Gonzales. This is a fair show price for the third-rated horse in a trial, and the relatively short prices at the top of the board suggest the trifecta could pay reasonably well with this runner underneath.

Cowboy Code 918 (No. 3) is the most intriguing second horse on the card — a 72.31 TrackWiz rating paired with a 66% career win rate, and still going off at 3/1. Trainer Dee Keener sends out Mario Delgado, and this horse's win percentage is actually the best of any pick across the full 15-race card. If Ask Her to Fly has any issues, Cowboy Code 918 has more than enough ability to hit the board.

Cyber River (No. 9) brings a 50% career win rate and a 54.17 TrackWiz rating to the gate at 9/2 on the morning line. Trainer Wesley T. Giles and jockey Noe Garcia, Jr. team up here, and Giles has multiple runners throughout the card today. As the third wheel behind two very live horses, Cyber River is a reasonable show ticket and a trifecta completion play.

Suzes Relentless (No. 3) is the best-priced overlay on the entire card — a 56.48 TrackWiz rating that rates second in the field, yet the morning line lists this horse at 12/1. Trainer Jason L. Olmstead has Ramiro Haro Garcia up, the same combination that won our Race 14 analysis, and Olmstead's barn is clearly in top form tonight. At 12/1, this place pick is screaming value, and an exacta pairing Bett the Limit over Suzes Relentless at those odds could produce a significant payout.

Staggeringcowboy (No. 7) rates at 55.83 — third in the field — and Francisco Calderon takes the mount for trainer Justin W. Joiner. Joiner has been one of the more active trainers throughout tonight's card, and the 7/2 morning line on a third-rated horse in a trial is a fair closing price. As the trifecta anchor under two live top picks, Staggeringcowboy is a natural inclusion.
