This week I will be heading to the cornfields of Iowa.\u00a0 Another one of my favorite tracks is Prairie Meadows located in Altoona, IA just outside of Des Moines.\u00a0 After living there for 13 years I try to get back there when I can to see old friends and that beautiful gold dome on the Capital Building.\u00a0 But my main purpose today is to preview what should be a great turf race.\u00a0 Psycho Dad Turf Sprint will be at a distance of 7.5 furlongs and the surface will be listed as Good Turf.\u00a0 There are seven colts and geldings that will be running.\u00a0 The field includes three prior Graded Place colts.\u00a0 This small field looks to be pretty tough.\u00a0 The morning line odds and post positions are listed.\u00a0 Let us take a preview of this nice looking field as they prepare for this Stakes race and try to collect that $100,000 purse.<\/p>\n

Sired by Quality Road he pulled in 3rd<\/sup> in his last outing in the G3, Middle Of Nowhere Sprint which was on the dirt at 6 furlongs earning him his Graded Place Badge.\u00a0 He ran a nice 110 speed in that race and led the field around the track until after the third call.\u00a0 He could not hold his lead and was caught in the stretch.\u00a0 He does have prior stakes experience on the turf and has won at the listed stakes level on the turf in two prior starts.\u00a0 He is looking good, should be running up front and should compete for a win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.\u00a0 Elsevier\u00a0
