3 Free Races Today at Prairie Meadows

Race 1

Stakes · 350 yd · Dirt

A short-field quarter-horse dash at 350 yards where TrackWiz ratings separate three legitimate contenders from the rest — the top three rated horses span just six points, setting up a tight finish.

win5Prize FlyterML 9/5

Prize Flyter draws the morning-line favoritism at 9/5 for good reason — a TrackWiz rating of 87.07 leads this field and trainer Lane D. Johnston has form with short-format sprinters. A career win rate of 36% is solid in stakes company at this trip, and Miguel Josue Ramirez gets the call in the irons. In a 350-yard dash, every gate break matters, and this horse profiles as the one most likely to dictate terms from the gun.

place4Foxy CowgirlML 4/1

Foxy Cowgirl (4) sits just behind the top rating at 85.62 and shares a 45% career win rate — the best in this field — under trainer Edward Ross Hardy. At 4/1 on the morning line, Angel O. Ramirez has a live mount that could easily beat the favorite if Prize Flyter has even a fractional stumble. Don't let the slightly lower rating fool you; this filly is a genuine win threat and a strong place-ticket anchor.

show2Kwik Fast PrizeML 5/2

Kwik Fast Prize (2) checks in with an 80.75 rating and a sparkling 40% career win rate for trainer Lane D. Johnston, who already saddles the top pick. Cristian R. Esqueda has a well-rated mount at 5/2, and having the same barn behind two horses in a six-horse field is a meaningful stable edge. Include this one in your exotics — the Johnston one-two punch makes both horses worth covering.

Race 2

Stakes · 400 yd · Dirt

Eight horses line up at 400 yards in a stakes sprint where the Lane D. Johnston barn fields three runners — a barn-bias angle that can't be ignored when handicapping this race.

win2Ajs Favorite IaML 3/1

Ajs Favorite Ia (2) is the standout on paper with a 87.08 TrackWiz rating, and that 53% career win rate is frankly elite at any level. Cristian R. Esqueda picks up the mount for Johnston, and pairing the barn's top jockey option with their highest-rated horse is a clear signal. At 3/1, this isn't a price play, but confidence in the selection is high.

place8Cowboy 123ML 4/1

Cowboy 123 (8) is a fellow Johnston trainee with a 79.46 rating and a productive 38% career win rate — he's live enough to land in the exacta beneath the barn's top horse. Miguel Josue Ramirez is aboard, and the fact that Johnston sends three horses here suggests he feels this one has a legitimate shot at the board. At 4/1, the place ticket on Cowboy 123 offers solid value in an eight-horse sprint.

show6Ab BoogieML 5/2

Ab Boogie (6) holds a 77.95 rating with a 33% win rate and morning-line odds of 5/2 for trainer Manuel Mojica Campos with Giovany Estrada up. The Campos barn is active on this card and Ab Boogie is their best-positioned runner in this race. As a show hedge or a key in trifectas, this one belongs in the ticket.

Race 3

Stakes · 350 yd · Dirt

A wide-open 350-yard stakes with a ten-horse field that includes several horses with no career wins on their record — the TrackWiz model finds a massive value gap, identifying a 10/1 shot as the top-rated runner.

win5AwagonformyladyML 10/1

Awagonformylady (5) is one of the most interesting plays on the card: the top TrackWiz rating in this race at 76.88, yet priced at 10/1 on the morning line. Trainer Lane D. Johnston saddles this runner with Armando Alvidrez up, and while the horse shows no career wins yet, the rating model sees something the oddsmakers are undervaluing. In a short sprint where the field is largely inexperienced, a high-rated horse breaking clean can steal this.

place3Kan I Get an AmenML 5/2

Kan I Get an Amen (3) carries a 72.40 rating and draws the second-best morning-line price in the field at 5/2 for Tony Dean Jones. Angel O. Ramirez is one of the more active jockeys on this card and keeps a live mount here. With a rating meaningfully ahead of most rivals, this one should be sniffing the front end of the finish at 350 yards.

show1Ts Seven Dollar BeerML 5/1

Ts Seven Dollar Beer (1) is the lone horse in the top three picks with an actual double-digit career win percentage (12%), and that experience edge could matter in a chaotic field of mostly win-less runners. Fernando Ivan Manriquez sends this one with Gonzalo R. Valles Jr. up at 5/1. The 62.59 rating trails the top two picks, but board position and race experience give this one a real shot at hitting the show spot.
