Check out my Tuesday (6-9-26) Presque Isle Downs Race 7 analysis below.

PID 7 (Str-OC-25k, F&M, 8f all-weather) – Post Time  6:12 PM ET
Primary – #8 QUADRA, #1 Princess Vera
Secondary – #2 Right Now, #3 Tinta Roja, #4 La Girvina

Horse Comments:

#8 Quadra (3-1) wired the field in two of her last three turf routes at Tampa Bay. She drilled a local half-mile bullet for this June 2 and might be the one to catch. Juan Arriagada is 6-for-18 at PID and Israel Rodriguez is 10-for-24 with this outfit.

#1 Princess Vera (5-2) stalked the pace from the inside post and scored in a local sprint May 26 and that was her first all-weather attempt. She exceeded the winning par for this last time and she is a logical contender if she handles the added ground of this race.

#2 Right Now (2-1) tallied as the favorite at this course and distance May 18 and she turned back and clicked right back at 6f as the chalk May 27. The 5-time local winner stretches back out and has struck four times at this distance. 

#3 Tinta Roja (10-1) disappointed as the strong favorite June 2 and Darien Rodriguez claimed her that day. She was third to Right Now at 8f May 18 and might spice up the exotics.

#4 La Girvina (6-1) finished last of 8 in a local stakes race October 2025 and this is her first start since. She is 5-for-7 at Presque Isle and owns early-pressing versatility. She sports three local bullets for this, her winning rider Scott Spieth stays put, and her trainer Matthew Kintz is 4-for-14 at the current stand.
