Check out my Monday (6-29-26) Presque Isle Downs Race 6 analysis below.

PID 6 (OC-35k/2L, F&M, 6f all-weather) – Post Time  5:45 PM ET
Primary – #1 INSPIRE COURAGE, #3 Amberia
Secondary – #5 Mother Green

Horse Comments:

#1 Inspire Courage (7-2) rallied from post 10 to finish a clear second in a dirt sprint at TAM April 15. She shipped to this oval and pressed and graduated by 2 1/4 lengths at 5.5f May 18, and she stalked, led, and held the place at 6f June 8. She is versatile and figures to be forwardly placed from the inside post.

#3 Amberia (3-1) showed ability in GB last year and disappointed in both starts in this country. This is her first start since October 2025 for Graham Motion and she is training steadily at Fair Hill for this engagement. A better effort is expected.

#5 Mother Green (6-1) turned back and landed the place at this course/distance May 18, and she was hard to handle and faded to last of 7 as the even money favorite June 1. She is back in a sprint and might rebound under her new rider Antonio Gallardo.
