Delta Downs Picks & Predictions — June 19, 2026

Shes Hot Blooded is the most intriguing underneath play in the race — a perfect 100% career win rate, however small the sample, combined with a 55.83 TrackWiz rating puts this one firmly in the mix. Leonardo Rodriguez gets the mount for trainer Viviane Hill, and at 7/2 on the morning line, the place ticket offers legitimate value behind the favorite.

Illegal Lady opens at 9/2 with a 54.17 rating and draws the rail in post one. Trainer David Bustamante and jockey Randy Edison Jr. team up here, and this horse's rating puts her in a tier with the second and third picks — making her a reasonable show-ticket inclusion in a race where the top two are clearly established.

San Lorenzo Cash is the clear second choice here at 7/2, carrying a 79.35 rating and a 33% career win rate that gives it legitimate credentials in this field. Leonardo Rodriguez, a busy and effective jockey on today's card, handles the riding chores for trainer Juan C. Garcia — a combination that looks well-prepared for this trial format.

Only Ruse at 6/1 holds a 51.67 TrackWiz rating, which places this horse in a reasonable third tier — ahead of the bulk of the field but clearly behind the top two. Trainer Gregorio Davila and jockey Claudio Ponce Aguilar give this one professional handling, and in a trial where only the top finishers advance, show-ticket coverage on a mid-priced horse makes sense.

Jess Louisiana Bee is the logical place pick at 5/2, posting an 81.59 rating that sits just behind the top pick — these two are functionally in the same tier. Adrian X. Morales takes the mount for trainer Eduardo L. Morales, and the horse's 50% career win rate underscores that it knows how to find the winner's circle. If Red Runnin Train has any trouble at the break, Jess Louisiana Bee is right there to pounce.

Thunderrrstruck opens at 7/2 with a 55.83 rating and draws post six — a mid-field position in a 350-yard sprint that doesn't hurt or help dramatically. Trainer Kenneth L. Roberts, Sr. places runners throughout today's card, and while this horse's rating falls short of the top two, a morning line of 7/2 suggests the connections believe it can be competitive.

Lollito opens at 8/1 and carries a 56.12 TrackWiz rating with a 25% career win rate — not flashy numbers, but enough to earn a place ticket in a field where only two horses grade out with meaningful experience. Trainer Gregorio Davila sends this one out with Leonardo Palomo aboard, and at 8/1, there's clear place-exotic value if Lollito can hold together for second behind the dominant favorite.

Whoozthatlady at 4/1 brings a 55.0 rating and a 50% career win rate, which makes it arguably the more experienced runner in this race behind Vigilanty. Trainer Kenneth L. Roberts, Sr. has multiple horses entered today and consistently places competitive runners, and Pedro Chavarria Espinosa handles the mount — this horse looks like a reasonable show-ticket anchor in the exotics.

Epyphany at 6/1 on the morning line carries a 59.69 TrackWiz rating — the third-best figure in the field — and while it lacks a career win percentage on record, the rating puts it solidly in the second tier. Jorge Javier Garcia rides for trainer Luis R. Martinez, Jr., a capable combination, and at 6/1 the place ticket offers solid overlay value in a race where only one horse grades out substantially above the rest.

Jess Salty Crystal is the fascinating show inclusion here — a perfect 100% career win rate matched with a 57.5 rating makes this one of the most proven horses in the field by strike rate. Leonardo Palomo takes the mount for trainer Kenneth L. Roberts, Sr., and at 5/2 on the morning line, the connections clearly have confidence. The rating gap behind the top pick is what drops this one to show, but the horse absolutely belongs in the ticket.

Cosimabadmammajamma — yes, that's the name on the program — opens as the morning-line favorite at 9/5 with a 50% career win rate, which immediately earns attention. The TrackWiz rating of 58.67 sits well below our top pick's 81.61, but the proven win rate and low morning-line price tell you the market sees something here. Trainer Jose U. Lopez and jockey Noe Castaneda are a sharp combination, and place coverage on this horse makes sense as a hedge.

Mr La at 5/2 on the morning line carries a 57.5 rating and a 100% career win rate — perfect record through its starts, which is worth noting. Trainer Santiago Villaseca and jockey Jorge Javier Garcia are a capable combination, and the raw win percentage suggests this horse can run. Show coverage provides a reasonable safety net in a race with a legitimate rating mismatch at the top.

Lm Jess a Lady is the most compelling place pick on the card at 10/1 on the morning line with a 76.88 TrackWiz rating — a figure that would make this horse a favorite in most other races on today's program. The morning line looks soft for a horse with that level of rating, and trainer Levi Mays sends it out with Randy Edison Jr. in the irons. At double-digit odds, place coverage here is a legitimate overlay play.

Purple N Gold Blood opens at 2/1 as the morning-line favorite with a 67.43 TrackWiz rating, but our analysis puts two horses above it — which creates an interesting dynamic. Trainer Jose U. Lopez and Noe Castaneda are a well-worn partnership on today's card, and the horse's low price suggests public confidence. Show coverage at 2/1 is modest value, but it rounds out the ticket if the top two prove hard to separate.

Mp Coco Pilot at 6/1 is a genuine value inclusion — a 82.71 rating and a 66% career win rate make this one of the most productive horses in today's entire card by strike rate. Jorge Javier Garcia takes the mount for trainer Josue Ponce, a combination that has shown up in multiple races today with live runners. The 6/1 morning line looks soft for a horse with those credentials, making the place ticket an overlay worth playing.

Mucho Man Shortstop rounds out our selections at 9/2 with a strong 80.57 TrackWiz rating and a 25% career win rate — the third-best rating in this very competitive field. Trainer Gregorio Davila and jockey Claudio Ponce Aguilar handle this one, and the horse's rating puts it in a genuine three-way battle at the top. Show coverage at 9/2 is a smart hedge in what could be the most tightly contested trial of the night.

Luziana Women at 5/2 holds a 57.5 TrackWiz rating — the second-best figure in the field — and draws the service of Noe Castaneda for trainer Jose U. Lopez, another Lopez entry in what has been a productive day for that barn. The morning-line price of 5/2 suggests the market respects this horse, and with the top pick carrying a significant rating edge, place coverage here is a natural fit in the exotic tickets.

Hold On Tight opens at 9/2 with a 54.17 rating, making it the third-best-rated horse in the field by TrackWiz metrics. Trainer Jose Luis Sanchez III sends this one out with Luis L. Vivanco in the irons — a quieter combination compared to the headline names on today's card, but the rating justifies inclusion. In a closing race where a handful of horses have similar enough profiles to fill the show spot, Hold On Tight's rating edge over the remaining field is the differentiator.
