It’s Money Monday at Parx Racing, with nine races to kick off another week — and we’re starting with a familiar question:

Is speed the way to the winner’s circle again?

We’ve seen early speed and forward positioning play a major role at Parx lately, but yesterday’s bias doesn’t automatically become today’s. Rich and Terry will watch the early races closely while putting the Smart Sheets to work to identify the horses most likely to control the action.

We’ll dig into % Chance to Lead, Early Pace, C-Zone, Total Pace, SIM Speed and SIM Odds to find potential pace advantages, vulnerable favorites and horses offering more value than the betting public realizes.

If speed is holding, we want the horses that can get there first. If the track tells us something different, we adjust.

Nine races. Fast track. Let’s see if speed takes us back to the window.
