Race 1
Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt
The morning line favorite isn't the top-rated horse here — TrackWiz numbers point to a significant upset scenario in this 6.5-furlong dirt claimer, with Pastero looming as a standout value at 6/1.
Pastero earns the top TrackWiz rating in this field at 82.71, a clear separation from much of the competition in what looks like a vulnerable group. Trainer Scott A. Lake knows how to spot the right spot for a claimer, and Dexter Haddock gets the call for this six-and-a-half furlong dirt test. Despite a modest 5% career win rate, the rating says this horse is running well right now, and 6/1 on the morning line is a genuinely appealing number if those figures translate to the gate.
Marchin Into April comes in as the morning line favorite at 2/1, carrying a TrackWiz rating of 75.86 — second-best in the field behind Pastero. The 3% career win rate is a bit of a speed bump, but this horse figures to be competitive at this level and should be in the mix late at 6.5 furlongs on the Parx dirt.
Tiz the Coast opens at 5/1 with a TrackWiz rating of 62.52, which lands it third in this field — a solid enough position to anchor the exotics. Trainer Jose G. Gonzalez-Milian gets the mount over to Abner Adorno, a capable hand at Parx. The 51 average speed figure is on par with the field median, making this a reasonable show play to round out exacta and trifecta tickets.
Race 2
Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt
Three horses are bunched within two points at the top of the TrackWiz ratings in this 6.5-furlong dirt claimer, setting up a potential photo finish between Mac Daddy Too, Pit Stop Man, and Young Squire.
Mac Daddy Too posts the field's highest TrackWiz rating at 84.09 and matches the top average speed figure in the race at 54, shared with Pit Stop Man and Young Squire. Trainer Robert Mosco sends this horse out with Dexter Haddock in the irons — Haddock is one of the busiest and most effective riders on the Parx circuit. The 5/2 morning line makes this horse the likely post-time favorite, and the numbers back that up; this is a legitimate win contender, not just a public play.
Pit Stop Man is razor-close to the top at a 83.39 TrackWiz rating and also posts a 54 average speed figure, identical to the win pick. Martin Chuan gets the call for trainer Daniel J. McKenzie, and a 22% career win rate suggests this horse knows how to find the winner's circle. At 4/1 on the morning line, there's enough juice here to make Pit Stop Man a strong place play and a key part of any exacta combination.
Young Squire rounds out a very tight top tier with a 82.71 rating — just fractions behind the top two — and boasts a 24% career win rate that speaks to legitimate competence at the claiming level. Francisco Martinez rides for trainer Howard R. Brown, Jr., and the 54 average speed figure matches the leaders. At 6/1, this horse offers real show value and deserves inclusion in trifecta keys.
Race 3
Claiming · 6 1/2 fur · Dirt
Bootleg Runner is the rare 8/5 favorite that actually owns the top TrackWiz number in the field, but Will's Music is right there to make this race more interesting than the short price suggests.
Bootleg Runner heads into this 6.5-furlong dirt claimer carrying an 83.07 TrackWiz rating — tops in the field — and a very impressive 22% career win rate for the claiming ranks. Bryan L. Torres, one of the more reliable riders at Parx, handles the mount for trainer Michael V. Pino, who consistently delivers at this level. With a 54 average speed figure and a morning line of 8/5, the market and the numbers agree: this is the one to beat, and it's going to take something special to knock it off.
Will's Music is the TrackWiz value play of the race, sitting at 6/1 on the morning line with a rating of 82.71 — essentially a coin flip versus the favorite in terms of raw numbers. Joezer Rangel rides for trainer Jennifer B. Shaw, and that 9% career win rate may actually understell the current form implied by the rating. This is exactly the kind of horse to use underneath in exactas when the price is generous.
David's Kitten slots in as the show pick at 9/2 with a 79.7 TrackWiz rating, third-best in the field and a clear step ahead of the rest of the pack. Trainer Elliott Soto-Martinez deploys Melvis Gonzalez here, and the 52 average speed figure is competitive for this class level. With an 11% career win rate, this is a horse that's been around the block — plug it into your trifectas and don't overthink it.
