PARX Racing
Nine races on a fast Parx track, and more than half the card is devoted to horses still searching for that first trip to the winner’s circle.

Five of nine races are maidens.

That means fewer established form lines, lightly raced horses with room to improve, first-time starters and plenty of questions for the betting public to answer.

This is exactly where Smart Sheets can help make the ambiguous clearer.

Terry and Rich will dig into: First Timer scores, breeding and workout signals PAR and second-race Parability Improvement patterns and upside SIM Odds versus the Morning Line SIM Speed and Total Pace C-Zone and projected race shape Class moves and droppers Potential overlays the public may overlook Maiden races aren’t about pretending we know what these horses will become.

They’re about finding the clues that give us a better idea than the crowd. And with Terry returning, we’ll have two sets of eyes attacking all nine races.

Five maiden puzzles.

Nine races. Fast track.

Terry’s back.

Race 1 – Female

6 1/2 Furlongs – Early Inside Speed

Terry’s Picks

5 – Unionville: Drops in class today; Strong trainer and jockey stats.

8 – Anita Glassofwine: Third against similar last out; top last-race speed rating; trainer wins 33% of maiden claimers; fastest dirt speed in the field.

4 – Cocoa Nimbus: Drops in class today; Strong trainer stats.

Longshot:

3 – Gotmistyonthemind: Switches to a high % winning jockey; Can handle the distance.

Alternates:

1 – Sand Queen

7 – Sea Eff P T O

Rich’s Picks

8 – ANITA GLASSOFWINE – TLRSP# +6 and 1 of 2 YES horse – most upside

6 – LADY AMELIE – biggest in race edge +7 LS and drops

5 – UNIONVILLE – biggest drop – only 4th race – could be on the pace

4 – COCOA NIMBUS – the other YES horse – strongest relative C ZONE

Terry vs. Rich

Terry puts #5 Unionville on top, while Rich prefers #8 Anita Glassofwine.

Anita Glassofwine gets considerable support from both approaches. Terry points to the top last-race speed rating, fastest dirt speed in the field and a trainer winning 33% of maiden claimers. Rich makes her his top choice with TLRSP# +6, YES status and the most upside.

Unionville is Rich’s third choice but owns what he identifies as the biggest class drop, and Rich believes she could also be involved in the early pace.

#4 Cocoa Nimbus is another horse both Terry and Rich include. Rich labels Cocoa Nimbus the other YES horse and gives her the strongest relative C-Zone.

The biggest difference is #6 Lady Amelie, who Rich moves into second because of the +7 Late Speed edge and class drop.

Race 2

6 1/2 Furlongs – Early Inside Speed

Terry’s Picks

2 – Irish Mamba: Drops in class today; a high % winning trainer wins 19% Dirt starts; Has a high % winning jockey.

3 – Buff Gary: Finished in the money in 40% of the starts at PARX Racing; Drops in class today; Early speed running style helps chances.

5 – Matzoball Muhammet: Early speed running style helps chances; Best Dirt Speed is fastest among today’s starters; Finished in the money in 3 out of the last 4 races.

Longshot:

1 – Cahvari: Highest last race speed rating; Rail post is winning at 20% clip; Drops in class today.

Alternates:

4 – Economic Headwinds

7 – Elusive Reward

Terry’s Suggested Wager

$.50 Pick 4: 2/All/6/All – Cost $15.00

Rich’s Picks

1 – CAHVARI – 3 SP# increases with TLRSP# +5 and drops

3 – BUFF GARY – YES horse – drops and should be forward

2 – IRISH MAMBA – biggest class dropper – some minor improvement in last

7 – ELUSIVE REWARD – last of the YES horses and has most upside – 2nd up

Rich’s Suggested Wager

$5 Exacta Key Box: 1/2,3,5,7

Terry vs. Rich

This race produces one of the more interesting Terry-Rich disagreements.

Terry goes with #2 Irish Mamba, while Rich elevates Terry’s Longshot #1 Cahvari all the way to the top.

Cahvari has several factors moving in the right direction. Terry notes the highest last-race speed rating, favorable rail and class drop. Rich adds three consecutive Speed Figure increases and TLRSP# +5.

That makes Terry’s Longshot a legitimate win candidate rather than merely an underneath horse.

#3 Buff Gary is another strong shared contender. Terry has him second, and Rich also ranks him second as a YES horse who drops and should be forward.

Terry’s top choice Irish Mamba lands third for Rich, who still recognizes the horse as the biggest class dropper.

The value horse beyond those three could be #7 Elusive Reward, one of Terry’s alternates but Rich’s fourth choice and a YES horse with the most upside.

Race 3

7 Furlongs – Early Inside Speed

Terry’s Picks

1 – Smallchangegeep: Won 2 races in a row going for hat trick; Can lead or come from off the pace; Highest last race speed rating; Rail post is winning at 24% clip; Has a high % winning jockey.

3 – Wicked Melody: Ran 2nd vs tougher in last race; Drops in class today; Best Dirt Speed is fastest among today’s starters; Strong trainer stats.

5 – Notturno: Switches to a high % jockey; Drops in class today; Can go the distance.

Longshot:

6 – King Deivys: Won last race at PARX Racing; Strong trainer and jockey stats.

Alternates:

2 – First Trumpet

4 – Reverse the Curse

Rich’s Picks

3 – WICKED MELODY – no YES – maybe 2, SIM SP# +6 with biggest in race edge +9 LS

6 – KING DEIVYS – strongest C ZONE – better EP – 4 SP# increases

1 – SMALLCHANGEGEEP – 3 SP increases and Parx 3/2-0-1

2 – FIRST TRUMPET – Maybe horse and track dropper

Terry vs. Rich

Terry puts the two-race winner #1 Smallchangegeep on top as the horse tries for a hat trick.

There is plenty to like: tactical versatility, the highest last-race speed rating, a productive rail and strong jockey numbers.

Rich, however, makes #3 Wicked Melody his top choice.

Terry already ranks Wicked Melody second after a runner-up finish against tougher company, a class drop and the fastest Best Dirt Speed in the field. Rich adds a +6 SIM Speed advantage and the biggest in-race edge of +9 Late Speed.

The horse who becomes especially interesting when comparing both sets of picks is #6 King Deivys.

Terry makes King Deivys his Longshot.

Rich ranks him second overall, pointing to the strongest C-Zone, better Early Pace and four consecutive Speed Figure increases.

That makes King Deivys one of the better potential value horses in the first half of the card.

Race 4 – Female

6 Furlongs – Early Inside Speed

Terry’s Picks

6 – Slash Alley: Been knocking at the door Finishing in the money in the last 4 races, running 2nd in the last race; Has a high % winning trainer and jockey.

2 – Benevolent: Ran 2nd vs similar in only start; Can go the distance.

1 – Thisgirlsgotchill: Finished 3rd vs similar in last race; Has a high % winning trainer and jockey.

Longshot:

3 – Catch Me a Catch: Has a high % winning trainer who wins 19% of the races in the 1st race after claiming; Best Dirt Speed is fastest among today’s starters.

Alternates:

4 – Amor Ala Mexicana

5 – Princess Diva

Rich’s Picks

1 – THISGIRLSGOTCHILL – part of the pace – Top TOTAL PACE and Jy/Tr

6 – SLASH ALLEY – on the pace with TLRSP# +4 – even $$ SIM FAV – Paco

2 – BENEVOLENT – only 2nd start – not the biggest fan of Penn shippers – +9 LS

3 – CATCH ME A CATCH – the other maybe horse with the 6

Rich’s Suggested Wager

$0.50 Pick 4: 1,2,6/1,4/3,6/2,3,6,8

Terry vs. Rich

Terry and Rich agree completely on the four main horses but arrange them differently.

Terry puts #6 Slash Alley on top after four consecutive in-the-money finishes, including a second-place finish last time.

Rich also sees Slash Alley as a major contender, ranking her second with TLRSP# +4, early pace and an even-money SIM Favorite designation.

Rich instead gives the top spot to #1 Thisgirlsgotchill.

Terry has her third, but the Smart Sheets point to a horse who should be part of the early pace while owning Top Total Pace and a strong jockey/trainer combination.

#2 Benevolent remains intriguing because this is only the second career start. Terry puts her second after finishing second in the debut. Rich ranks her third and notes a +9 Late Speed advantage, while also expressing some caution about the Penn-to-Parx move.

Terry’s Longshot #3 Catch Me a Catch also makes Rich’s top four, giving us another race where the Terry and Rich contender lists line up extremely well.

Strongest Early Terry-Rich Agreements

Through the first four races, several horses stand out because both handicapping approaches point in the same direction.

Race 1 – #8 Anita Glassofwine

Terry’s second choice and Rich’s top selection. Top last-race speed, fastest dirt speed, TLRSP# +6, YES horse and most upside.

Race 2 – #1 Cahvari

Terry’s Longshot becomes Rich’s top pick. Three consecutive Speed Figure increases, TLRSP# +5, highest last-race speed rating, rail advantage and a class drop.

Race 3 – #3 Wicked Melody

Terry’s second selection and Rich’s top pick. Drops from tougher company, fastest Best Dirt Speed, +6 SIM Speed and +9 Late Speed.

Race 3 – #6 King Deivys

Terry’s Longshot and Rich’s second choice. Strongest C-Zone, improved Early Pace and four consecutive Speed Figure increases.

Race 4 – #6 Slash Alley

Terry’s top pick and Rich’s second choice. Four straight in-the-money finishes, TLRSP# +4 and even-money SIM Favorite.

The most interesting price horses early may be #1 Cahvari in Race 2 and #6 King Deivys in Race 3, because Terry labels both as Longshots while Rich moves each into his top two.

Race 5

6 Furlongs – Early Inside Speed

Terry’s Picks

4 – Spartacus: Drops in class today; Can improve at the shorter distance; Strong trainer and jockey stats.

3 – Wholelotoftrouble: Best man the last 3 races in a row, expects to get married today; Has a high % winning trainer.

2 – Highway Patrol: Finished 3rd vs similar in last race; Best Dirt Speed is fastest among today’s starters; Has a high % winning jockey.

Longshot:

1 – Take Courage: First time starter whose Dam has 1 winner from 1 starter; Good 4F workout (Sep-04); Strong trainer and jockey stats.

Alternate:

5 – Lasting Quality

Rich’s Picks

4 – SPARTACUS – only class and track dropper – was TC nominated – Paco

1 – TAKE COURAGE – 3.0 firster with Back and Bullet and Go works – tr 0/16 with 1sters

2 – HIGHWAY PATROL – only YES = must have – 3rd up

3 – WHOLELOTOFTROUBLE – on the PACE with standout C ZONE

Terry vs. Rich

Terry and Rich both land on #4 Spartacus as the top choice.

Terry likes the class drop, shorter distance and strong trainer-jockey combination.

Rich reinforces that opinion by pointing out that Spartacus is the only class and track dropper and was also TC nominated, with Paco aboard.

The most interesting upside horse may be Terry’s Longshot, #1 Take Courage.

This is a first-time starter, and Terry points to the dam having already produced one winner from one starter, a good 4-furlong work on September 4, and strong trainer-jockey statistics.

Rich ranks Take Courage second and gives the firster a 3.0 First Timer score, along with Back, Bullet and Go workout signals. The warning is the trainer’s 0-for-16 record with first-time starters.

#2 Highway Patrol may be the safest inclusion underneath. Terry ranks him third, and Rich identifies him as the only YES horse — must have — in his third start.

Race 6

1 Mile 70 Yards – Early Speed – Mostly Fair – 2/3 Discount

Terry’s Picks

3 – We Ready: Finished in the money in 8 out of the last 10 races, winning 3 races; Has a high % winning trainer and jockey.

6 – Transcendental: 3rd as favorite last out; high % winning trainer wins 32% with beaten favorites; high-% trainer and jockey.

2 – Donnelly’s Hollow: Won 2 races out of the last 4 starts; Has a high % winning trainer.

Longshot:

1 – Nixon Joy: Rail post is winning at 21% clip; Drops in class today; Has a high % winning jockey.

Alternate:

4 – Hermoso Hombre

Terry’s Suggested Wagers

$20.00 Win: #3 We Ready

$5.00 Exacta Box: 3/6

$5.00 Exacta: 3/1,2,6

Total Cost: $45.00

$.50 Pick 4: 3/2,8/1,3/All – Cost $18.00

$2.00 Double: 3/2,8 – Cost $4.00

Rich’s Picks

6 – TRANSCENDENTAL – should be out front +9 EP – solid C ZONE

3 – WE READY – top C ZONE and most upside

4 – HERMOSO HOMBRE – also upside – better EP/Fractions – Parx 8/28 – else 1/9

1 – NIXON JOY – tough call over the 2 – YES vs NO and avg race at the top of 2’s range

Terry vs. Rich

This is the race Terry is willing to make his strongest statement of the day.

Terry’s Best Bet – #3 We Ready

We Ready has finished in the money in eight of the last ten races, winning three, and Terry also gets a strong trainer-jockey combination.

Rich doesn’t put We Ready on top, but the Smart Sheets still provide significant support.

Rich ranks We Ready second and gives him:

Top C-Zone

Most upside

That is an important endorsement for Terry’s Best Bet.

Rich prefers #6 Transcendental, who should be forward early with a +9 Early Pace advantage and a solid C-Zone.

Terry also respects Transcendental, ranking the horse second. The beaten-favorite angle is another plus, with the trainer winning 32% with beaten favorites.

This is therefore not a case where Terry and Rich disagree on which horses belong. They agree on the two main contenders and simply reverse the order.

Race 6 Key Horses

Terry: #3 We Ready

Rich: #6 Transcendental

Best consensus pair: 3 and 6

Value consideration: #1 Nixon Joy

Terry’s betting strategy shows exactly how strongly he feels about We Ready, with a win wager, exactas, a Pick 4 single and a Double built around #3.

Race 7 – Female

6 Furlongs – Early Inside Speed

Terry’s Picks

8 – Kool Karoline: Drops in class today; Has a high % winning trainer who wins 28% of the races with horses in the 2nd career race; Has a high % winning jockey.

2 – Haunting Echoes: In the money 83% at PARX and 67% at the distance; fastest Dirt Speed; bullet 4F workout (Aug-25); strong trainer/jockey stats.

6 – Ancient: Ran 2nd vs similar in last race; Highest last race speed rating.

Longshot:

3 – Yo Philly: Finished 3rd in last race; Early speed running style helps chances so the shorter distance is a plus; Has a high % winning trainer and jockey.

Alternate:

4 – Lucky Lu Lu

Terry’s Suggested Wagers

$10.00 Win: #8 Kool Karoline

$5.00 Exacta Box: 2/8

Total Cost: $20.00

$2.00 Double: 2,8/1,3 – Cost $8.00

Rich’s Picks

2 – HAUNTING ECHOES – only YES = must have – SIM SP# +6 and most upside

8 – KOOL KAROLINE – 2nd race PARABILITY – Paco on track dropper

6 – ANCIENT – just missed at this level last out – better 5 ways and beat many below

3 – YO PHILLY – maybe horse – could be on the lead as Top TOTAL PACE

Terry vs. Rich

Terry and Rich agree almost completely on the contenders in Race 7.

Terry puts #8 Kool Karoline on top, while Rich ranks her second.

The case for Kool Karoline is built around the class drop, strong trainer statistic in the horse’s second career start and the Smart Sheets second-race Parability angle.

Rich instead puts #2 Haunting Echoes on top.

This is a particularly strong Smart Sheets horse:

Only YES horse

Must have

SIM Speed +6

Most upside

Terry already has Haunting Echoes second and adds the horse’s excellent Parx record, strong distance record, fastest Dirt Speed and bullet workout.

This is another race where the Terry-Rich disagreement is more about order than contenders.

#6 Ancient is third for both. Terry points to the highest last-race speed rating, while Rich notes that Ancient just missed at this level, is better five ways, and has already defeated several horses below.

Terry’s Longshot #3 Yo Philly is also Rich’s fourth choice. The Smart Sheets show a possible pace advantage with Top Total Pace, giving the horse some potential to hang around longer than the public may expect.

Race 7 Main Pair

#2 Haunting Echoes

#8 Kool Karoline

Both Terry and Rich clearly believe those are the two horses to beat.

Terry’s Best Bet of the Day

Race 6 – #3 We Ready

Terry’s strongest opinion on Maiden Madness Monday comes in one of the non-maiden events.

#3 We Ready has finished in the money in eight of the last ten starts and has won three of those races.

The consistency is already there, and the Smart Sheets add two meaningful advantages:

Top C-Zone

Most upside

Rich ranks We Ready second behind Transcendental, but both handicappers clearly agree that 3 and 6 are the horses to beat.

Terry is backing that opinion aggressively:

$20 Win on #3 We Ready

$5 Exacta Box 3/6

$5 Exacta 3/1,2,6

Single #3 in the Pick 4

Key #3 in the Double

When Terry is willing to build that many wagers around one horse, the opinion is clear.

Race 6 – #3 We Ready is Terry’s Best Bet of the Day at Parx Racing.

6 1/2 Furlongs – Early Inside Speed

Terry’s Picks

3 – Duration: Finished in the money in 9 out of the last 10 races, winning 3 races; high-% winning trainer and jockey.

1 – Souper Tuscan: Won 2 races out of the last 4 starts; Rail post is winning at 20% clip; Drops in class today; Strong trainer and jockey stats.

4 – Charbonnayhat: Won 2 races in a row going for hat trick; Highest last race speed rating.

Alternates:

Terry’s Suggested Wager

$10.00 Win: #3 Duration

$5.00 Exacta Box: 1/3

$5.00 Exacta: 3/1,2,4

Cost: $35.00

Rich’s Picks

1 – SOUPER TUSCAN – 1st at Parx – Saffie Joseph Jr? Paco – pacesetter – Top TOTAL PACE

3 – DURATION – Sanchez and Pino – Parx 4/2-0-1 – most upside

6 – RIPPED – 2nd up – should be forward as SIM FAV and Top PAR+

2 – LASSO – has the most late run – strong work between starts

Terry vs. Rich

Terry puts #3 Duration on top, while Rich prefers #1 Souper Tuscan.

Duration brings the stronger consistency profile, having finished in the money in nine of the last ten starts with three wins. Rich still gives Duration significant support, ranking the horse second and identifying the most upside.

Rich’s top choice #1 Souper Tuscan also gets plenty of respect from Terry, who ranks him second. The rail is winning at 20%, the horse drops in class, and Rich expects him to be the pacesetter with Top Total Pace.

That makes 1 and 3 the clear main pair.

#6 Ripped becomes an interesting alternative from the Smart Sheets side. Rich has him third as the SIM Favorite with Top PAR+, while Terry uses him as an alternate.

Terry’s Longshot #2 Lasso also makes Rich’s top four. Rich sees the most late run, while Terry points to the recent third-place finish and bullet five-furlong workout.

Race 8 Main Pair

#3 Duration

#1 Souper Tuscan

Terry is willing to bet directly into that opinion with the win wager on Duration and an exacta box using 1 and 3.

Race 9 – Female

1 Mile – Early Speed – Rail Best, 8+

Terry’s Picks

7 – Relevate: Ran 2nd vs similar in last race; Can improve while returning to a route; Strong trainer and jockey stats.

5 – Cara’s Dreamweaver: Ran 2nd vs similar (on Turf) in last race; Highest speed figure at today’s distance; High % winning trainer; Switches to a high % winning jockey.

8 – Authentic Angel: Finished 3rd vs tougher in last race; Drops in class today.

Longshot:

1 – Banco Di Sicilia: Rail post is winning at 25% clip; Drops in class today; Has a high % winning trainer and jockey.

Alternates:

2 – Pittore d’Oro

4 – Dean of Belonging

Rich’s Picks

2 – PITTORE D’ORO – Only YES – most upside – TLRSP+ 9 – big pop – regresses? Standout C ZONE

7 – RELEVATE – Top SIM SP# and TOTAL PACE – 4 quality starts in a row

5 – CARA’S DREAMWEAVER – Ness horse, 2nd up and definitely been in against better

8 – AUTHENTIC ANGEL – tough call over a bunch of others – track dropper 1st at Parx

Rich’s Suggested Wager

$2 Exacta Key Box: 2/1,5,7,8

Terry vs. Rich

The finale gives us a major difference in opinion at the top.

Terry prefers #7 Relevate, while Rich puts Terry’s alternate #2 Pittore d’Oro on top.

Rich’s case for Pittore d’Oro is strong on the Smart Sheets:

Only YES horse

Most upside

TLRSP +9

Standout C-Zone

The question is whether that big recent move can be repeated or whether regression follows.

Terry’s top choice #7 Relevate may be the more dependable form horse. Relevate comes off a second-place finish against similar company and returns to a route, while Rich identifies Top SIM Speed and Top Total Pace along with four quality starts in a row.

That gives Relevate support from both Terry’s traditional handicapping and Rich’s numbers.

#5 Cara’s Dreamweaver is also a strong shared contender. Terry ranks the horse second, and Rich has the horse third after racing against better and now making the second start for Ness.

#8 Authentic Angel rounds out the shared group, with the class drop and first Parx start making the horse another viable inclusion.

Race 9 Main Horses

#7 Relevate – Terry’s top choice and Rich’s #2

#2 Pittore d’Oro – Rich’s top Smart Sheets horse

#5 Cara’s Dreamweaver – shared contender

#8 Authentic Angel – class-drop contender

Terry’s Best Bet of the Day

Race 6 – #3 We Ready

Terry’s Best Bet remains #3 We Ready in Race 6.

The horse has finished in the money in eight of the last ten starts, winning three, and Rich’s Smart Sheets add:

Top C-Zone

Most upside

Rich ranks We Ready second behind Transcendental, but both handicappers agree that #3 We Ready and #6 Transcendental are the two key horses in the race.

Terry backs the opinion with a $20 win wager, exactas, a Pick 4 single and a Double.

Race 6 – #3 We Ready is Terry’s Best Bet of the Day at Parx Racing.

Maiden Madness Monday – Final Take

Five maiden races make this a card where upside, class movement, workout clues and Smart Sheets signals may matter just as much as established form.

The strongest Terry-Rich agreements across the card include:

Race 1 – #8 Anita Glassofwine

Race 3 – #3 Wicked Melody

Race 4 – #6 Slash Alley

Race 5 – #4 Spartacus

Race 6 – #3 We Ready / #6 Transcendental

Race 7 – #2 Haunting Echoes / #8 Kool Karoline

Race 8 – #1 Souper Tuscan / #3 Duration

Race 9 – #7 Relevate

For value, two Terry Longshots receive especially strong support from Rich:

Race 2 – #1 Cahvari

Race 3 – #6 King Deivys

And the strongest Smart Sheets wild card in the finale is:

Race 9 – #2 Pittore d’Oro

Nine races. Five maiden puzzles. Fast track.

Terry’s back — and Maiden Madness Monday is ready to roll at Parx.

Strongest Plays Through Race 7

Race 5 – #4 Spartacus

Terry #1 and Rich #1. Only class and track dropper.

Race 5 – #1 Take Courage

Terry’s Longshot and Rich’s #2. Interesting first-time starter with favorable workout and breeding signals.

Race 6 – #3 We Ready

Terry’s Best Bet. Top C-Zone and most upside on Rich’s Smart Sheets.

Race 6 – #6 Transcendental

Rich’s #1 and Terry’s #2. +9 Early Pace and likely to be involved from the start.

Race 7 – #2 Haunting Echoes

Rich’s only YES horse and must-have, with +6 SIM Speed and most upside.

Race 7 – #8 Kool Karoline

Terry’s #1 and Rich’s #2, with a class drop and second-race Parability angle.

The strongest Terry-Rich combinations in Part 2 are the 3/6 pair in Race 6 and the 2/8 pair in Race 7.
