Free Los Alamitos Quarter Horse Picks & Predictions

Don't let Ninia's 3/1 morning line fool you — a 75% career win rate is genuinely elite at this level, and that kind of record doesn't happen by accident. Trainer Sam Wilensky keeps Austin B. Solis in the irons, and the 85.48 TrackWiz rating is only a tick below Willow Cove. If anything breaks the favorite's way imperfectly, Ninia has the profile to pounce.

Blessed Angel gives trainer Vann Belvoir a second bullet in the race alongside morning line favorite Misty Heart, and that stable confidence matters. A 74.73 rating and 33% career win rate make this one a legitimate show contender in a five-horse field. At 7/2 on the morning line, Blessed Angel offers decent value in the exotics as a hedge behind the top two.

Run Auntie T Run is the second Uranga runner in the race, and that trainer doubling up in a short field is always a note worth making. The 80.10 TrackWiz rating is the second-best in the field, and at 3/1 on the morning line there's genuine place value here. A 14% career win rate suggests this horse hits the board more often than it wins, which is exactly what you want from a place pick.

Crypto Craze at 8/1 is listed as our show pick and doubles as the value angle on the ticket. The 78.24 TrackWiz rating is third-best in the field — solidly competitive — and a 28% career win rate matches the top pick's. The wide price is somewhat puzzling given those numbers, which is exactly the kind of overlay that makes sense to include underneath.

Jb Kool Idea is the morning line favorite at 6/5 and carries a 75.15 TrackWiz rating — second-best in the field. Trainer Felix L. Gonzalez also trains our win pick Faith Eagle, meaning he's got two horses in contention, and he likely wouldn't run two unless he thought both were live. Jb Kool Idea is clearly respected, and a place bet at short odds still makes sense in a race where the form is genuinely thin.

Kool Monday opens at 5/2 on the morning line, which suggests the market has some respect for this one even if the 54.72 TrackWiz rating is mid-pack. In a six-horse maiden field where everyone is still looking for their first win, the 5/2 pricing implies a connection that believes this horse is ready to fire. As a show play in the exotics, Kool Monday gives your tickets a third-place safety net at a workable price.
