Free Retama Park Picks & Predictions

La Pandemia rates second in the field at 80.03 and is sitting at a juicy 7/2 morning line, which suggests the market might be sleeping on this one a touch. Luis F. Palacios takes the mount for trainer Jose Marcial Garcia, and the overall profile fits the place spot in what shapes up as a tightly contested maiden sprint. If Monster Cartel draws all the early money, La Pandemia could offer a sneaky bit of value in the exotics.

Flyn Honey Senator checks in at a 73.53 rating — third best in the field — and hits the board at a 4/1 morning line. Trainer Brittany N. Tellez sends out Froylan Tellez Ramirez, a family barn that tends to show up ready to run. In a maiden sprint this short, reaction time and early punch matter more than anything, and the rating suggests this one has the profile to hit the board.

Fabulous Dashtiny rates 60.81 and also sports a 22% career win percentage — matching Instagram Diva in that category — which is a meaningful data point when separating the contenders. Luis L. Vivanco gets the mount for trainer Viridiana Duran Villegas, and the 7/2 morning line makes this a solid each-way play. She has the profile of a consistent performer who finds the board more often than not.

Jvm Cardi B might carry the most intriguing win percentage in the field at 28% — highest among all runners — and that pops at a 9/2 morning line. Trainer Wendy Alejandra Garcia is a name that appears throughout today's card, suggesting an active and well-prepared barn. The 59.86 rating is modest, but that 28% career clip says she knows how to close out a race.

Jess a Snowy Monday rates 78.76 — a strong second in this field — and is lined at 7/2, which means the market agrees with our model's view of the top two. Luis F. Palacios picks up the mount for trainer Jose Marcial Garcia, the same jockey-trainer combo we like in Race 1. Consecutive appearances on the same card from the same connections is often a sign of a well-managed, confident outfit.

Valiant Lil Marfa slots in as our third-ranked horse at 73.81 and catches a 4/1 morning line in a spot where TrackWiz sees genuine merit. Miguel R. Vallejo takes the reins for trainer Raul E. Galvan, and the rating gap between third and fourth in this field is significant enough that this horse warrants inclusion in trifecta tickets. At 4/1, it's a fair price for a horse we genuinely like.
