Delta Downs Picks & Predictions — July 24, 2026

Patriot Forty Seven checks in with a 73.68 TrackWiz rating and a matching 33% career win rate — this horse wins races at a legitimate clip. Trainer Ray Robbins teams with Donell Blake, the same jockey-trainer duo that's active throughout today's card. The 3/1 morning line is fair given the profile, and in a race where the favorite is vulnerable to pace pressure from multiple 33%-win-rate rivals, Patriot Forty Seven is the most logical horse to fill the exacta underneath.

Jess a Native Rogue brings a 55.94 TrackWiz rating and — notably — a 33% career win rate that matches the two horses ranked above it. Trainer David Bustamante puts Rolando Cabrera up at 4/1, which is honest value. The rating gap between this horse and the top pick is real, but in a 300-yard dash where anything can happen out of the gate, a horse with that win rate is never far from the money.

Blazin Hot Perry has a 54.17 TrackWiz rating and opens at 5/1 — a reasonable price for a horse that rates second-best among the midrange contenders. Trainer Erica Arteaga puts Rene Hernandez in the irons, and this horse's rating positions it as the most likely beneficiary if the top pick doesn't fire at its best. In maiden sprints, the second-best horse on paper hits the board far more often than it gets credit for.

Jtf Mulita rates at 51.67 from trainer Jesus Huitron Lira, who also enters Baylors Fast Prize in the same race — when a barn double-dips, it's worth noting which horse the model prefers, and it's clearly this one. Pedro Chavarria Espinosa gets the call at 6/1, and while the rating isn't flashy, it's good enough for third in this field. A reliable trifecta anchor at a price that won't murder your payout.

Love That Ash has a 65.65 TrackWiz rating and opens at 7/2, drawing trainer Trey Ellis and jockey Ubaldo Luna. This horse rates second in the field by a meaningful gap over the rest of the pack, and in a 250-yard sprint with a chaotic ten-horse field, the second-best horse on paper has a strong likelihood of finding the board. A natural place horse that fits underneath Kj Keep Coming in all exotic wagers.

Jtf Fast Dulce is the 5/2 morning line second choice despite checking in with a 63.96 TrackWiz rating — third in the field but with the book overweighting this horse relative to our model. Trainer Jesus Huitron Lira and Pedro Chavarria Espinosa team up here, and while we prefer the top pick at better value, this horse's market support means it can't be ignored on trifecta tickets. A logical show play even if you're fading it as a win bet.

One Dashin Esperanza rates at 70.31 — five points below the top pick but well clear of the third cluster — and trainer Gilberto Rosales sends Rolando Cabrera up at 4/1. In a maiden race where every horse is looking for its first win, the horses with the two best ratings tend to land on the board together far more often than not. This is a clean place horse that fits naturally in exactas and trifectas.

Jrs Pop a Top is an interesting angle at 10/1 on the morning line despite posting a 67.3 TrackWiz rating — third in the field. Trainer Trey Ellis puts Leonardo Rodriguez up, and while the morning line suggests the public isn't sold, our model sees a horse that belongs in the mix. At that price, even a show finish turns a trifecta ticket into a nice little score — this is exactly the kind of horse you want as your third leg.

Gold Hearted Eagle brings a 69.99 TrackWiz rating and a 21% career win rate — solid credentials in a field this competitive. Trainer Jose D. Barron puts Noe Castaneda in the irons at 8/1, which is where the value angle comes in: this horse's win rate suggests it's been a consistent performer, yet the morning line is treating it like a longshot. In a ten-horse allowance field where the top pick is a strong favorite, the second-best-rated horse at 8/1 is exactly the kind of overlay you build exactas around.

Bar the Saint comes in at 15/1 on the morning line — a price that looks steep until you notice the 69.58 TrackWiz rating and a 20% career win rate. Trainer Phillip Calais Jr., one of the more active barns at Delta Downs this meet, puts Leonardo Rodriguez up, and a one-in-five win rate in a 330-yard allowance sprint means this horse knows how to find the wire. A speculative but defensible trifecta piece at a price that could turn a small ticket into a real payout.

Puroo Venenoo is a fascinating angle: a 75.7 TrackWiz rating — second-best in the field — yet opens at 7/2 on the morning line, which is fair value. Trainer Martin Trejo sends Ubaldo Luna up, and Luna has been one of the more active and effective jockeys throughout tonight's card. If Royal Rogue breaks poorly or gets shuffled in traffic, this is the horse with the rating to pounce and secure at minimum a strong place finish.

Pop a Rockz opens at 15/1 despite a 54.78 TrackWiz rating that sneaks into the top half of this field. Trainer Bradley C. Bolen puts Francisco Giles up, and while the morning line implies the public is cold on this horse, the underlying rating sits above several horses drawing far shorter prices. In a ten-horse maiden sprint where chaos at the gate is always a factor, a horse with a quietly competitive rating at 15/1 makes a compelling trifecta piece — the payout on a hit would be substantial.
