Prairie Rocknroll rocks rivals in wire-to-wire victory

Prairie Rocknroll (A Rocknroll Dance) overcame his outside to drop and pop in the Saturday feature at Saratoga Casino Hotel.

The Kyle Spagnola trainee spent most of his summer competing in the Joe Gerrity Jr Memorial Invitational races and following a pair of tries in the Open Pace dropped down to the $14,500 Saturday feature in which he drew the outside post.

Prairie Rocknroll’s regular driver Billy Dobson blasted the five year old gelding off the car early and he landed on the lead where he would remain going wire-to-wire in 1:52.4.

The Pick Five begins in the matinee’s first race which is set to kickoff at 12pm.
