Parx Racing Picks & Predictions — November 2, 2026

My Last Mission opens as the 6/5 favorite and it's easy to see why — a 23% career win rate, 11 wins from 45 dirt starts, and the jockey-trainer combination of Martin Chuan and Jamie Ness has produced a 29% win rate with a 78% in-the-money mark over the past year. The concern is a recent race speed figure that ranked last in this field at 13.59 sec/furlong, which is a red flag coming into a one-mile dirt race. With the odds compressed, we like it more for place than to win.

Admiral's Wave is the third pick in our ratings at 70.18 and brings a useful angle — the jockey-horse combination of Abner Adorno has a 14% win rate together with a 52% in-the-money rate. Workouts are solid with the second-best figure over the last month at 12.17 sec/furlong, and the horse ranked third in recent race speed at 13.12 sec/furlong. The concerns are a modest Parx record and the horse being seven years old, but at 7/2 on the morning line it offers show value in a race with a vulnerable favorite.

Vital is the second-rated horse in the field at 56.67 and also shows up well in the workout column, posting the second-best figure over the last month at 12.14 sec/furlong. Trainer John C. Servis is a familiar Parx name, though the grade here is listed as C+. With no prior race speed figure to pull from, this is primarily a workout-and-connections play — but in a maiden claiming field, that's often enough to land on the board.

My Pretty Boy is the third pick in our ratings at 55.0 and benefits from an A-grade trainer in Hugo O. Padilla paired with jockey Andy Hernandez who holds an A jockey grade. There's no race speed or workout figure to anchor the pick, so this is more about the quality of connections and program rating in a wide-open maiden field. At 4/1 on the morning line, it slots in nicely as show coverage in trifectas.

Mommy Makeover is the second-rated horse at 55.0 and brings some race experience with a recent speed figure, though it ranked fourth in the field at 13.38 sec/furlong and didn't place last time out — that's worth noting. Jockey Frankie Pennington has a 19% win rate and 63% in-the-money clip over the past year. With a 4/1 morning line and 14.77% in our sims, this is a horse that fits the profile of a place contender without being a slam-dunk win bet.

Holy Ground is tied for third in the ratings at 53.33 and brings the Brandon Kulp barn's signature jockey-trainer angle — Rodriguez and Kulp have combined for a 35% win rate and an impressive 81% in-the-money rate over the past year. The workout tab is the best in the entire field at 11.96 sec/furlong, which is a legitimate standout figure. This is a first-starter projection play, but those connections and that workout give it a real path to hitting the board at 5/1.

Blame Eve is rated second in the field at 86.34 and owns the fastest recent race speed figure in the group at 12.98 sec/furlong — a strong indicator of current form. The horse has placed in four of its last six races and owns a one-wins-from-five record on dirt tracks. At 3/1 on the morning line, our sims (25.19% win share) suggest this is legitimately close to the favorite's level, making it an excellent place bet and a key leg in exacta combinations.

Ranting and Raving is the third pick in our ratings at 67.43 and holds a 46% career in-the-money rate, which is solid for a claiming-level mare. The recent race speed ranked third in the field at 13.37 sec/furlong, keeping it within range of the top two. The concern is a zero-for-four record at the one-mile distance, which is the exact trip today — that's a pattern worth respecting. At 5/1, it makes sense as show coverage with eyes open about that distance issue.

Cannonbury is the second-ranked horse in the field at 56.67 and holds a 50% in-the-money career rate, but the concern is a recent race speed figure that ranked fourth in the field at 13.10 sec/furlong — a noticeable gap behind the top few. Trainer Kathleen Demasi and jockey Silvestre Gonzalez form a B/B pairing, nothing flashy but competent. At 3/1, Cannonbury fits as a natural place bet and exacta partner to the favorite.

Snipe Hunt is the third pick in our ratings at 55.0 and draws the Hugo O. Padilla barn, which earns an A trainer grade — a consistent positive at Parx. Jockey Frankie Pennington has a 19% win rate and 63% in-the-money clip over the past year, providing capable hands. The workout concern is real — ranked fifth in the field at 12.26 sec/furlong — but with no prior race speed figure to draw from, this is a connections-and-rating play at 4/1 that earns a spot in trifectas.

Welovemollynteddy is the second-ranked horse at 58.33 and brings a compelling profile — the fastest recent race speed in the entire field at an eye-catching 11.90 sec/furlong, a 50% career win rate, and consecutive in-the-money finishes most recently. Paco Lopez rides with his strong 28%/64% annual splits. At 2/1 morning line, this horse will likely be the betting favorite on the board, and with good reason — the speed figure alone separates it from most of the field.

Olympic Dreamer is the third pick in our ratings at 57.57 and has a genuinely strong Parx record — one win and three places from four starts at this track specifically. The horse has placed in three of its last five starts, and the dirt surface record of one win from five races is solid. The concerns are a claiming price increase from $25,000 to $75,000 — a significant class jump — and the worst workout figure of those timed over the last month at 13.32 sec/furlong. At 8/1, there's some show value here if the class question doesn't bite.

Twist Her is second in the ratings at 75.81 and owns solid credentials for this level — two wins and 13 places from 22 career dirt starts, with consecutive in-the-money finishes coming in. The recent race speed ranked third in the field at 12.61 sec/furlong, keeping it competitive with the top picks. The concern is the horse being six years old, flagged as potentially past prime, and trainer Michael M. Moore gets an A grade so there's still upside. At 4/1, this is a strong place bet with real win potential.

Noulikeabook slots in as the third pick at 64.3 in our ratings and brings a key distance angle — three wins and four places from six career starts at today's exact six and a half furlong trip, which is a standout stat in a field where many horses lack that specific record. The claiming price drop from $12,500 to $7,500 signals connections looking to get a win, which can be a positive motivator. At 6/1, the distance record and class relief make this a legitimate show play and a useful trifecta key.
