Parx Racing Picks & Predictions — June 22, 2026

Rowsie Express is the second-ranked horse in the field at 83.17 and offers excellent each-way value at 5/1 on the morning line. A 20% career win rate speaks to consistency, and trainer Thomas Iannotti IV puts him in a spot where his profile fits. He's worth including in all exactas.

Center Stage opens as the 9/5 morning-line favorite despite ranking third in our model at 75.83, which makes him a reasonable show selection but a horse we're willing to use underneath rather than on top. Paco Lopez — one of the sharper jockeys in the Mid-Atlantic circuit — gets the mount, and an 18% career win rate gives him a fighting chance. He's the kind of horse that hits the board more often than he wins.

Dress Like Coco slots second in our model at 84.17 and offers real value at 5/1 on the morning line — that's a horse rated less than four points below the top pick at nearly three times the odds. Trainer J. Tyler Servis is well-regarded for placing maiden claimers in the right spots, and her 52 average speed figure keeps her right in the mix at six furlongs.

Warrior Bunny Zee rounds out the TrackWiz top three at 83.58 with morning-line odds of 3/1, making her the logical show hedge in what could be a messy maiden race. Trainer Jose G. Gonzalez-Milian also runs Silvestre Gonzalez in the irons, and a 52 average speed figure is consistent with the group. In maiden claiming sprints, depth in your exotics pays — she earns a spot in your tickets.

Book Runner is rated nearly as high at 82.71 yet goes off at 6/1 on the morning line — that's a significant gap to a horse that's functionally a coin flip with the top pick in our model. Trainer Michael L. Catalano, Jr. is an active conditioner at Parx, and a 53 average speed figure is the best among the top contenders. He's the value play of the race and the horse to use heavily in exactas.

Marty's Magic rates third in the field at 72.14 and draws in at 7/2 on the morning line — a reasonable price for a horse with a 14% career win rate stretching to one mile and an eighth. Trainer Ernesto Padilla-Preciado has multiple horses going on the card today, suggesting a barn in form. He's a reliable third wheel for trifecta purposes.

Mad for Maddy opens as the 5/2 favorite with Paco Lopez taking the mount for trainer Wayne Potts, and a 20% career win rate supports the favoritism. Her 81.15 TrackWiz rating is just behind Island Dream Girl, and she profiles as the kind of front-running type that Lopez will have forwardly placed. She's the logical key for the exacta with our win pick.

Fussy Girl is a legitimate sleeper at 8/1 morning-line odds despite posting a 77.71 TrackWiz rating — third best in the field. Her 21% career win rate and 53 average speed figure both hold up in this class, and trainer Miguel Penaloza sends her out with Dalila A. Rivera in the irons. At those odds in a nine-horse field, she rounds out a tasty trifecta ticket.

My Man Woody draws the rail in Post 1 with a 77.43 TrackWiz rating and opens at 7/2 — solid each-way value in a sprint where gate position matters. His 55 average speed figure is the highest in the field, suggesting he's got the raw speed to be on or near the lead through the early stages. Trainer Carlos E. Caban gives him to Victor Carrero, and a horse with that kind of sprint speed is always dangerous in a 5.5-furlong dirt race.

Mac Daddy Too checks in at 72.81 for our show spot and is the 5/2 morning-line favorite — which means the public likes him more than our model does. A 54 average speed figure is competitive, and trainer Robert Mosco puts Dexter Haddock on board. Even if he finishes off the pace, his board percentage in prior starts suggests he's a reliable show horse worth including in your tickets.

Central to Success is the 3/1 morning-line favorite under Paco Lopez for trainer Robert E. Reid, Jr., and a 67.26 TrackWiz rating puts him solidly in the mix. His 16% career win rate is modest, but his 54 average speed figure is among the field's best and Lopez is always a live rider in these mid-level spots at Parx. He's the value key for the exacta under our win pick.

South Boundary at 9/2 rounds out our vertical with a 56.50 TrackWiz rating and a 54 average speed figure that matches the top contenders. Mychel J. Sanchez gets on for trainer Michael V. Pino, and a 16% career win rate is serviceable. In an allowance field where the top two contenders are pulling a lot of action, South Boundary at nearly 5-1 brings trifecta value worth including.

Master of None rates second at 70.37 and gets Paco Lopez for trainer Wayne Potts — a pairing that always commands respect at Parx. At 4/1 on the morning line, he's reasonably priced relative to his model grade, and a 52 average speed figure is consistent across this group. As a closer in a long dirt route, he's the horse most likely to be running late if the pace collapses up front.

Get Like Mike at 10/1 is our show selection and the value play of the race — a 59.71 TrackWiz rating that ranks him fifth in the field, but at double-digit odds he's worth a spot in your trifectas. Trainer Irving Rodriguez sends him out with Francisco Martinez up, and a 10% career win rate is modest but not disqualifying at this price. In big fields at longer distances, double-digit shots hit the board with enough frequency to make them worthwhile at 10-1.
