Rich’s Ranks
Race 1 – 1 Mile 70 Yards – 63 Races, 43 won speed by speed, 16 w2w -PP: Small Inside 3 and 8+ Bonus
There isn’t a lot of early get out of the gate and go horses in here. Odd are the winner will be close to the pace all the way around the track.
2 – OWEN’S PLEASURE – 4SP# Increases, nice 2/4F improvement in his last, LRSP>PAR, 2 Fastest Opening 1/4 Fractions, top LP#s by a big margin
7 – TILSA – track drop from GP/Laurel – Parx 8/3-1-2, 2nd off layoff, solid LP Improvement in last, Top Pedigree
5 – ELUSIVE AMELIA – BTN FAV Tr Jamie Ness 185/659, serious regression in last at Laurel, worrisome, but best LP#s for a horse that should be close to the lead
4 – LEAN ON E
Race 2 – 6 ½ Furlongs – 25 Races, 16 won by speed, 11 w2w -PP: Strong rail and inside 3 bias, 8>4-7
Another race where there isn’t an overabundance of speed. Expect a horse close to the pace to make it home first.
7 – LA WAUN – going to take a shot here, nice 2f/LP improvement in last, top EP#s by a little
3 – SEVIER – winner 9/11 at Parx, ugly race last out, could rebound, but nasty regression in last
5 – KID D’ORO – 3rd after a layoff, upped 2/4/LP#s in last, TLRSP#, LRSP>PAR, 3SP# Increases, worried about a bounce
2 – PNUTBUTTER SPECIAL – chased some quick fractions in his last, could improve in 2nd off bench
Race 3 – 6 Furlongs – 64 Races, 43 won by speed, 17 w2w – PP: rail 1 win, all other even
This one looks a lot like the last race, not too many boom or bust frontrunners. Speed of Speed or a fast one with the best late legs likely gets the job done here.
5 – WALK ME HOME – Parx 8/3-3-0, should sit off the pace with top LP#s
6 – WORLD GONE WILD – track drop from GP, Ruben Silvera gets off #4, three works, 2 very strong at Parx, plenty of giddy up and go with Fastest 1/4 Fractions
4 – GIA’S FUEGO – won 2 in a row, ITM Parx 9/3-3-1, Distance 6/3-2-0, noticeable LP# increase in last
3 – ATINA SALSA – 2nd off the bench, decent work since, tough call over #2, better PARX Record

Race 4 – 5 ½ Furlongs – 27 Races, 20 won by speed, 10 w2w – PP: Small 2/3 penalty, all else even
Half the field probably doesn’t have a chance as they’ve shown nothing to date. Only two of the remaining four probably go forward out of the gate, one of them is most likely the winner.
2 – SHEZ A DOUBLETAKE – TLRSP#, 3rd off a layoff, LP# jumped in last, same back speed w/ Fastest 1/4 Fractions
6 – LUNA FORTUNA – far and away top EP#s, usually breaks clean, could shake free and be tough to catch without a lot of pressure. If he can hit the ½ in over 47, they might not pass him.
7 – CALIENTE RUM – showed some early pop in his second career start before fading hard in his last, gets 1st Lasix, doesn’t have a lot to beat in here.
Race 5 – 5 ½ Furlongs – 27 Races, 20 won by speed, 10 w2w – PP: Small 2/3 penalty, all else even
Five of the eight in this group want the lead, that should set a pace that favors horses with late energy.
8 – FLASHING DIAMOND – Distance 5/4-1-0, should get plenty of pace w/ top LP#s but shouldn’t be too far off the pace
1 – DILLY DILLY PHILLY – 3SP# Increases and should sit right behind pilot/co-pilot and run by in the stretch
7 – BACK CHANNEL – 3rd off a layoff, won the first two by at least 4 ¼ lengths, 2/2 at PARX w 2/4f improvement in last
6 – ALWAYS TALKING – could be the speed of the speed (or#2) but tends to break better
Race 6 – 1 1/16 Miles – 13 Races, 7 won by stalkers/closers, 4 w2w – PP: absolute 4+ bias, 1 win 1-3
There isn’t a lot of early pace in here with four of seven preferring to come from mid-pack and back. The winner is likely to be close to the front all the way around the track.
3 – DIVINE MIRACLE – is undefeated in 3 at Parx and should be close to the front from start to finish
7 – ROAN MOUNTAIN – has the best LP#s, improved 2/4f pace numbers in last, ITM 12/13 at Distance

Race 7 – 1 Mile 70 Yards – 63 Races, 43 won speed by speed, 16 w2w -PP: Small Inside 3 and 8+ Bonus
There is a lack of early tempo here and should favor horses near the front from the word go.
2 – JAMMIN JIMTOWN – chased a hotter than average pace in the last and shouldn’t see that here, 44/LP# improvements in last, 3rd off a layoff, Fastest 1/4 Fractions, 2 Fastest Opening 1/4 Fractions
1 – GRIT’N’GRIND – just missed in his last with impressive late run, 3SP# increased, 3rd off the bench

Race 8 – 1 Mile 70 Yards – 63 Races, 43 won speed by speed, 16 w2w -PP: Small Inside 3 and 8+ Bonus
There is some cheap speed in here that tends to fade when pressured, the speed of speed might steal this, but more likely a stalker with late kick takes this.
10 – MISS DILLINGHAM – only LRSP>PAR, across the board improvement in last, good works since last
4 – TIZ A SHARPIE – 3rd off a layoff, can win from front, middle, back, TOP EP/LP Combo, ITM 6/7 at Distance – Tie Top Pedigree
3 – FLEETERTHAN – could be pacesetter with Fastest 1/4 Fractions, been more of a stalker of late, distance is a big question
6 – MALIBU ANTHEM – PARX 5/4-0-0, no wins in 14 elsewhere, Tie Top Pedigree
Race 9 – 1 1/16 Miles – 13 Races, 7 won by stalkers/closers, 4 w2w – PP: absolute 4+ bias, 1 win 1-3

11 – PORTAL ONE – is three for three at Parx, first race since Dec 22, won last fresh start, 14f works since Jan 28, including bullet at go

Race 11 – 1 Mile 70 Yards – 63 Races, 43 won speed by speed, 16 w2w -PP: Small Inside 3 and 8+ Bonus
They could walk in this one as 8 of 11 have only won closing. Get to the front and you have a chance to go wire to wire.
5 – NIMBLE BEAST – has the top EP by a decent margin and the Top EP/LP Combo, decent 4f improvement in last
