Latest Los Alamitos Thoroughbred Free Picks
Los Alamitos Thoroughbred hasn't raced since July 5, 2026. We publish free picks for every Los Alamitos Thoroughbred card — below are the picks from that last card.
Race 1
Starter Optional Claiming · 5 1/2 fur · Dirt
A clear class standout tops this Starter Optional Claiming sprint, but a pair of live longshots at juicy prices could make the exotics very interesting.
Pocket Venus is the one to beat in this 5 1/2-furlong dirt sprint, and it's not particularly close on the TrackWiz ratings — an 88.54 figure towers over the field. Trainer Mark Glatt is one of the sharpest conditioners in Southern California, and with Abel Lezcano in the irons, this horse has all the pieces. A 28% career win rate underscores the consistency, and the 2/1 morning line is short but fair given the dominance of the numbers.
Lady Gregory is the natural backup here at 5/2, sporting a field-best 35% career win rate and a solid 77.01 TrackWiz rating. Trainer Steve Knapp keeps his runners sharp, and Armando Ayuso knows this track well. At fair odds, she's a comfortable fill in exactas beneath the top pick.
Blessed Angel is the value play of the race at 12/1 morning line despite owning a 73.06 TrackWiz rating — third-best in the field. That 34% career win rate is no fluke, and trainer Vann Belvoir has the horse ready. The morning line feels generous for a horse with these underlying numbers, making her a strong show anchor and a sneaky exacta partner.
Race 2
Claiming · 1 mi · Dirt
A deep claiming mile shapes up as a wide-open affair with the morning-line favorite nowhere near the top of the TrackWiz ratings — value seekers, pay attention.
Perfect Life is the TrackWiz top-rated horse in this field at 69.58 despite going off at 15/1 on the morning line — that's a significant disconnect worth exploiting. The 15% career win rate is modest, but the underlying speed and class profile outpace what the odds suggest. Trainer Jose Valdez has this runner pointing here, and Armando Aguilar is a capable hand around the Los Alamitos oval. This is the definition of a value play on a card where the public may overlook her.
Love Our Family checks in with a 64.18 TrackWiz rating and a 21% career win rate, making her a solid place contender from the eight hole. Trainer Gary Stute knows how to place horses, and the one-mile trip suits a closer profile. At 5/1, she's a fair price in the exotics.
Catalina Cocktail brings John Sadler's barn credentials to the table — always worth noting at any level — and posts a 63.46 TrackWiz rating with Emisael Jaramillo up. The 3/1 morning line makes her the public's second choice, and while our analysis rates her third, she's absolutely a legitimate show option in a field where the top two are at double-digit prices.
Race 3
Starter Allowance · 7 fur · Dirt
Bartholdy looks like a near-mortal lock in this Starter Allowance at seven furlongs, but Mr. Disrespectful offers a live alternative if the favorite gets beat on pace.
Bartholdy's 89.42 TrackWiz rating is the highest mark on this entire seven-race stretch tonight, and the 7/5 morning line reflects what the connections already know. Trainer Steve Knapp has been excellent at placing horses in spots they can dominate, and Antonio Fresu is the right rider to control or stalk the pace at seven furlongs. A 17% career win rate may seem modest, but in the context of a Starter Allowance field, these numbers are head and shoulders above the competition.
Mr. Disrespectful brings a 30% career win rate to this race — tops in the field — and posts a 51.58 TrackWiz rating with Kazushi Kimura, one of the meet's elite pilots. Trainer Craig Dollase is sharp with this horse type, and if Bartholdy gets shuffled back or faces any trouble, this one is right there to capitalize. The 3/1 price is fair for a horse who figures to be in the thick of things late.
Whiskyginandbrandy is a sneaky show option at 8/1 under trainer Steve Knapp, who saddles two horses in this race — suggesting he has confidence in both. The 45.29 TrackWiz rating and 21% career win rate aren't glamorous, but the pace setup at seven furlongs could set up for a closer, and Tiago Pereira is a capable handler. At 8/1, there's enough upside to include in trifectas.
