Prairie Meadows & Saratoga Stakes Picks: Gold Lassie, Iowa Distaff, Saylorville & Victory Ride – 07/10/26

Prairie Meadows Race 6 Gold Lassie Stakes

6 My Kid’s Said No impressed on debut when winning by 10-lengths down in South Florida.This son of up and coming Sire Omaha Beach has been training exceptionally since. Win Contender 

1 Cardio Cat has looked sharp in her first two starts to kick off her career. Filly was last seen breaking her Maiden while raising her dirt speed figure 4 points from start 1 to 2. Win Contender

7 Valkyrie couldn’t handle Stakes competition when stepping up in class off a nice debut win. Filly fits well here with the drop in class today. Major Threat

Selections 6-1-7-2

Prairie Meadows Race 5 Iowa Distaff

5 Good Cheer returns from a 9-month layoff for trainer Brad Cox. Filly has a huge class edge here. She’s a multiple Graded Stakes winner which includes the prestigious Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks. The layoff is an obvious concern but this gals class should overcome the long hiatus. Top Pick

1 Queen Azteca laid an egg when finishing 4th at Laurel in her most recent start. Don’t  know what happened that day but this Filly is much better than that dull effort last out. Major Player

3 Quiet I’m Not has finished no worse than 3rd while sporting 4 trips to the winners circle here at Prairie Meadows. She comes off a career top while crossing the wire first by over 7-lengths in her most recent effort. Don’t Ignore

Selections 5-1-3-7

Prairie Meadows Race 8 Saylorville Stakes

8 Tapit Quick makes her second start off the layoff after a disappointing effort 3 weeks ago. This Dallas Stewart trainee has run well second off the pine in the past. This Mare will likely be dismissed at the windows today. She has races in past performances that give her a great chance to upset this field. Live Longshot

5 Ervadean has been no worse than 3rd in her last 5 starts. Mare rarely runs a bad race but has only 3 victories in 21 career starts but  She fits well with these. Win Contender 

7 Silent Law has been facing tougher than this group. Don’t leave this one off your tickets. Major Threat

Selections 8-5-7-3

Saratoga Race 9 Victory Ride Stakes Grade 3

9 A Fine Chardonnay sports the best late pace numbers versus the competition here. I believe this Filly will get a fast early pace to set up her late kick. If this Filly runs back to her Grade 2 victory two races back, she’ll have a strong chance to pull of the upset here. Live Longshot 

10 Goodall was last seen winning here at the Spa in the Jersey Girl Stakes. Filly ran a strong 96 Bris number while crossing the finishing line by nearly 3-lengths ahead of her nearest competitor. She steps up in class here and Jockey Prat rides this gal back off her recent score. I like this one’s chances in here. Win Contender 

5 Tommy Jo still must be respected even after her 5th place finish in the G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies. She’s a perfect 2-2 while sprinting here at the Spa. Don’t Ignore

Selections 9-10-5-4
