Belterra Park Picks & Predictions — July 19, 2026

Ahumado rates second in the field at 74.33 and comes in at 2/1 on the morning line for trainer Jamie L. Grubbs and jockey Luis A. Hernandez. A 12% career win rate at the claiming level is respectable, and the average speed figure of 55 ties him with Free America and Imtakinittothebank at the top of the speed column. He's a natural fit in the exacta underneath Alter Boy and worth singling on top in multi-race sequences if you want to separate yourself.

Imtakinittothebank — say that three times fast — draws post 5 with Santiago Gonzalez up and rates 71.90 for trainer James Dimmett. The 11% career win rate and matching 55 average speed figure suggest this is a horse that runs competitively without always finishing first, making show and trifecta inclusion a logical play at 5/2. If the pace gets honest between Ahumado and Free America, Imtakinittothebank could be sitting pretty late.

Upscuttled is an interesting angle here — trainer Richard Estvanko also saddles M'Lady Sansa in this race, giving him two bites at the apple, but it's Upscuttled who rates higher at 82.12 with the better average speed figure of 55. Orlando Mojica, Jr. picks up the mount at a morning line of 6/1, which looks like potential overlay territory given the rating. If the barn is truly trying to win this race, it's likely with Upscuttled.

M'Lady Sansa draws the rail for the Estvanko barn with Yarmarie L. Correa aboard, and at a 75.88 rating and 5/1 morning line, she's a legitimate price play in the show spot. The 7% career win rate is modest but she's showing up in an allowance field, which speaks to the trainer's confidence. A clean break from post 1 on the turf is the key — if she gets out without trouble, she's definitely a horse to include in your trifectas.

Gone Wild is the other side of the Robert C. Cline coin, rating 86.35 with Yarmarie L. Correa up at 7/2. A 13% career win rate and 53 average speed figure match up well against this field, and Cline's barns have been active across this entire card — the trainer clearly knows how to place horses. If My Trooper gets the better of the pace scenario, Gone Wild figures to be right there at the wire for second.

Runaway Power completes the Cline trifecta of top contenders, rating 81.65 with Santiago Gonzalez riding at 5/2 — a morning line that actually makes him one of the co-favorites. A 15% career win rate and matching 53 average speed figure means he's live on his own merits, not just as a stablemate. If the two Cline runners set up the race for each other, Runaway Power could be the one who benefits most from a ground-saving trip.

Onyx Outlaw rates second at 80.18 for trainer John Alexander Ortiz, with H. Luke Hoskins picking up the mount at a morning line of 5/1 — that's value worth noting in exacta construction. A 10% career win rate keeps him honest, and at a mile on the turf, horses who can rate off the pace and come running tend to have edges over pure speed types. At over 2-1 longer than the favorite on the morning line, Onyx Outlaw is the logical place horse to stack on top of.

Glacial Power is the one stat anomaly in this field — a 56 average speed figure that is a full point better than anyone else in the race. Oscar Villarreal gets the mount for trainer Jose M. Camejo at 3/1, and while the 5% career win rate is on the lower end, raw speed figures don't lie on turf. If the pace collapses in front and the closers are all tangled up, Glacial Power's ability to run fast early could make him a factor at a playable morning line.

Desert Dusk is interesting as the second choice on the morning line at 5/2, carrying a 57.50 rating with trainer Eddie Kenneally — a name worth noting — and Jane Elliott in the saddle. The listed average speed figure of 47 is the lowest among horses who have figures, which is a flag, but Kenneally has a track record of developing young horses who improve significantly off a debut effort. Use her underneath for the place while acknowledging there's a question mark about how that early speed translates at 6½ furlongs.

Terrysontilt draws 7/2 on the morning line with Rafael Mojica, Jr. up for trainer Juan A. Lopez, and rates 55.83 — just a shade behind the top two. Like Timely Agenda, no average speed figure is on record, which makes this horse something of a projection play, but the rating and price combination is worth a look in trifectas. In a field where nobody has a dominant edge, getting 7/2 on a horse rated inside the top three represents solid value.

Geraldraydaplegray — program number 2 — brings a 80.02 TrackWiz rating and a strong 19% career win rate to the table for trainer Sergio Donjuan, with Kevin J. Jimenez picking up the mount at 5/1. Donjuan also has Garden Leave in this race, giving the barn two shots at the money — and the higher-rated Geraldraydaplegray looks like the primary weapon. The 54 average speed figure, tied with Personal Creed for best among the top picks, reinforces why this horse belongs in your exacta beneath the top selection.

Just Like Rambo might be the most intriguing résumé in the race — a 33% career win rate is simply exceptional, and trainer Larry E. Smith has him priced at 5/2 with Perry Wayne Ouzts aboard. The 73.98 rating ranks him third in the field, and while that's behind the top two picks, a horse that wins one of every three starts doesn't typically find himself in spots where he can't compete. In a turf mile where trip and pace scenario carry enormous weight, his ability to convert when things set up right makes him a strong show anchor.
