Prairie Meadows Picks & Predictions — June 29, 2026

Ts Thats Famous opens at 7/2 for trainer Tony Dean Jones, who also runs Kan I Get an Amen and Reds Lil Runner in this field — but this is clearly the barn's top gun, posting a 55.83 TrackWiz rating that is second-best in the race. Mauro Jesus Rodriguez gets the call, and at 7/2 there's legitimate place value if the favorite stumbles or breaks poorly. Jones is playing the numbers game with multiple entries, but the odds suggest the market already knows which one matters.

Im Comin in Hott draws 6/1 on the morning line and checks in with a 51.67 TrackWiz rating — third-best in the race and comfortably clear of the lower half of the field. Trainer Edward Ross Hardy pairs this horse with Fernando Fonseca-Soto, and the barn clearly has firepower in this race with two legitimate runners. At 6/1, including Im Comin in Hott in your show parlay or exacta/trifecta box is a reasonable cost-effective play.

Vic Moretti opens at 4/1 with a 64.62 TrackWiz rating that sits well above the mid-field horses and gives him a real shot at placing. Trainer Jason L. Olmstead puts Armando Alvidrez in the irons, and a 33% career win rate shows this horse knows how to finish in the money. At those morning-line odds, the place ticket here offers some cushion while still representing genuine upside.

Ar First Pretty Boy opens at a generous 20/1 morning line despite a respectable 60.49 TrackWiz rating — third-best in the field, which creates an interesting disconnect from his odds. Trainer Haley N. Hobbs sends him out with Fernando Fonseca-Soto, and a 33% career win rate suggests he's competitive when he fires. If you're building trifectas in this race, Ar First Pretty Boy at a potential big price is well worth including as a live longshot show option.

Days in Dublin checks in with the second-best TrackWiz rating at 74.25 and matches the field-average speed figure of 52, giving trainer Pam Schutz and jockey Daniel P. Vergara a legitimate shot at board money at 7/2. In a maiden claiming race, horses at this odds level often represent overlays if the chalk handles the pace cleanly without drawing them into a fight. Days in Dublin looks like the most natural place horse in the race.

Not Sunday opens at 6/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 51.67 — third in the field and meaningfully clear of the bottom half. Trainer Jose Ibarra and jockey Alberto Pusac are a modest pairing, but in a thin maiden claiming field, third-best is often good enough to hit the board. At 6/1 this is a reasonable show-ticket play and a useful trifecta fill if you're anchoring with the top two.

Hooked On Dreams is the most interesting play on the board at 8/1 — a 79.79 TrackWiz rating that is legitimately second-best in the field, yet the morning line gives nearly 5-to-1 more than the favorite. Trainer David D. McShane and jockey Ken S. Tohill have a horse who averages 55 in speed figures, matching the top runners, and a 14% career win rate in this kind of company. If Elusive d'Oro gets into a pace battle early, Hooked On Dreams has the profile to close through late and land solidly on the board.

Say It Nicely opens at 4/1 with the third-best TrackWiz rating at 71.56 and ties for best average speed figure in the field at 56. Trainer Lynn Chleborad and jockey Ronnie Huckaby know this track, and a 17% career win rate in claiming company is a respectable baseline. As a show anchor or trifecta fill at a fair price, Say It Nicely makes a lot of sense.

Heavenly Dancer is the second Arnett runner in this race and opens at 5/1 despite a TrackWiz rating of 84.17 — nearly identical to the top pick. Orlando Mojica takes over the mount, and a 14% career win rate mirrors Motown Omi's profile closely. The question is whether the barn will let both run freely or set one up for the other — either way, at 5/1 Heavenly Dancer is a strong place-ticket value.

Cankton's Cowgirl opens at 12/1 and enters with a 66.34 TrackWiz rating that is a genuine third-best in this field — a meaningful gap below the top two but well clear of the rest. Trainer Salvador Arceo and jockey Ronnie Huckaby give this horse a workmanlike team, and a 17% career win rate shows she can compete. At 12/1 on the morning line, she's worth a show ticket and a definite trifecta slot.

I Like It Black opens at 7/2 with a strong 80.51 TrackWiz rating, second-best in the race, and the best average speed figure in the field at 55. Trainer Tom Wellington and jockey Israel Hernandez make up a capable team, and a 16% career win rate is honest form for 6-furlong claiming company. If Mighty Koa goes to the lead and sets the pace, I Like It Black profiles as the most dangerous closer to run him down or pick up the place.

Quietline is the morning-line favorite at 3/2 but comes in with only the third-best TrackWiz rating at 71.15 — suggesting the public may be overestimating him relative to the field. Trainer Kevin Eikleberry and jockey Elvin Gonzalez are a steady pairing, and an 11% career win rate doesn't exactly inspire confidence at chalk odds. As a show ticket he's fine, but the real value in this race is above and around him.

So Jacksann opens at 3/1 with an 82.88 TrackWiz rating that is genuinely close to the top pick, and a 26% career win rate shows he runs competitively in this class. Trainer Scott Corderman and Alex Birzer team up at a very fair price, and a 55 average speed figure is respectable at 6 furlongs on Prairie Meadows dirt. If Always Spiteful gets in a pace duel early, So Jacksann has the rating and figures to swoop in and secure board money.

Sweet Mother Mary opens at 6/1 with a 64.11 TrackWiz rating, third-best in the race, and while she's a step below the top two in raw numbers, a 22% career win rate tells you she knows how to finish in the money. Trainer Adam Uhl and Glenn W. Corbett give her a capable team at a price that makes the show ticket attractive. In a race where the top two profiles could neutralize each other on pace, Sweet Mother Mary offers a low-cost route to the trifecta.

Cupids Sweety opens at 3/1 with a 66.66 TrackWiz rating, second-best in the field, and ties for the joint-best average speed figure at 54 alongside several rivals. Trainer Kelli Martinez and jockey Walter De La Cruz give her a grounded team, and a 26% career win rate shows she fires consistently in this kind of company. At 3/1 she's a fair price for a place ticket and a natural exotics partner alongside the top pick.

Delacina is the morning-line favorite at 4/5 with a 66.55 TrackWiz rating — essentially identical to Cupids Sweety, yet drawing a much shorter price, which tells you the public is clearly enamored. Trainer Lynn Chleborad and Alfredo Triana, Jr. are a high-quality combination, and a 26% career win rate with a 55 average speed figure gives her legitimate credentials. At chalk odds she's not the best value play, but she's a safe show anchor if you're building around a bigger-priced win horse.
