Prairie Meadows Pick Pony Report — July 25, 2026
Fast track expected throughout; inside posts hold a modest advantage in the 1,210-foot and route events. Early speed dominates the straight-track sprints. Tanner Tracy and Kelli Martinez are the trainers to follow in the route division; O. Mojica and Elvin Gonzalez carry the strongest jockey books on the card.
Race 1 — 300f | Alw | BUN
Top choice is Shesafavoritecowgirl (3) on the strength of rider assignment and clean post within the Jones three-horse entry. Follies Favorite (2) is the main threat at the same 2-1 morning line. Takin Too Long (5) is the preferred longshot at 4-1.
Race 2 — 250f | Md Sp Wt | AON
Why So Political (9) gets the nod based on the strong trainer-family jockey angle from the Olmstead barn. Vf Wheely Foosed (3) is a legitimate co-favorite threat. Jess A Last Chance (5) is the best secondary price at 5-1.
Race 3 — 350f | Stk $40k | BUN
Ajs Favorite Ia (1) is the Wessels barn's clear top choice with the preferred rider from the inside post. Ab Boogie (9) is the co-favorite and primary danger. Chew Bac Cah (2) at 3-1 is the best single-horse value in the race.
Race 4 — 1830f | Clm 10000n2l | BUN
Toms Prospector (1) is the strong morning-line favorite from the rail with the barn's top jockey. Ask Arthur (5) is a genuine win threat from the same stable and rounds out the natural exacta box. Gimme A Chance (4) at 3-1 is the only credible alternative outside the Martinez entry.
Race 5 — 1210f | Alw | CUM
Miss Jeopardy (3) tops the field on trainer form and jockey confidence. My Maybelenne (1) at 3-1 from the rail is a strong secondary choice and the best exacta partner. Miracle Ball (6) is the other co-favorite and belongs in all trifecta combinations.
Race 6 — 1210f | Md Sp Wt | AON
Astro Nine (7) is the morning-line favorite with the card's best-booking jockey, making it the top selection despite the outside draw. Jomist (1) at 3-1 from the rail is the single best value play in the race and is dangerous if it clears cleanly. Sound Of Lute (2) at 4-1 and Selwyn (5) at 4-1 both merit trifecta inclusion.
Race 7 — 1320f | Clm 5000n2l | BUM
Stella Bella (4) tops the field on the strength of the Tracy-Mojica combination that has been dominant all card. Maximum To Excel (2) at 3-1 from a favorable inside post is the best alternative. R N B Baby (6) at 4-1 rounds out the trifecta; Lady Captain (5) at 12-1 is worth a small exotic play given Gonzalez in the irons.
Race 8 — 1320f | Clm 5000n2l | BUM
The Wife Found Out (6) is the morning-line favorite and the top selection. She's A Cyclone (4) at 3-1 continues the Tracy-Mojica pairing that has fired all evening and is the primary danger. Lillabet (1) at 4-1 from the rail is the value play and belongs in trifectas underneath the top two.
Race 9 — 1210f | Stk $70k | AON
Rhyme Away (4) is the top selection at 2-1 from the optimal middle post in the card's feature. Dial It Down (6) is the co-favorite and primary rival, making a two-horse exacta box the core play. Nasty Business (2) at 3-1 is the best trifecta value, with Enticing Hottie (1) at 4-1 a live secondary alternative from the rail in the Tracy double entry.
Race 10 — 1320f | Clm 10000 | BUM
Dreaminonthenile (5) is the 2-1 favorite and top selection to close the card. Miss Mingo (6) at 3-1 is the Martinez barn's top horse and the natural exacta partner. Gotta Love Life (1) at 4-1 from the rail is the single best overlay on the entire card and the recommended straight win bet for value seekers.
