Check out my Monday (5-18-26) Presque Isle Downs Race 3 analysis below.
PID 3 (OC-40k, 3yo fillies, 6f all-weather) – Post Time 4:24 PM ET
Primary – #1 STRIKE D’ ORO, #2 Mother Green
Secondary – #4 Golden Thread, #3 Bolt Dior
Horse Comments:
#1 Strike D’ Oro (5-2) makes her first start since October 2025 for quality layoff trainer Juan Arriagada. She ran well in all three local sprints last year including two wins from the inside post. She drilled a local 3f bullet for this May 5 and breezed 4f from the gate May 12.
#2 Mother Green (9-2) turns back and returns to synthetic. She easily went all the way in a flat mile MSW affair at TP Feb. 12 and the runner-up was a next-out winner.
#4 Golden Thread (2-1) fired in her first two MSW synthetic sprints at TP including a wire job March 12. She was up the track in the slop at KEE April 3, and she was 5th of 7 in the Star Shoot at WO April 25. She will probably attend the pace.
#3 Bolt Dior (3-1) returns to all-weather footing and fits with these if she runs back to her neck defeat at TP Feb. 19.
