RACE 2
- #7 I Saw It All (7-2): Has speed but always seems to run into trouble usually of his own doing. No other speed in this race. Worth a bet with this group.
- #4 Miami Steve (3-1): Dropping down. Has not raced since November but Andrew Simoff does well with horses off a layoff.
- 2X Rising Storm (4-1): Has enough speed to find his way into the exotics.
- Trainer Michael Pino reaches 2,000 winsTrainer Michael Pino went 2-for-2 today at Parx Racing to reach 2,000 wins in a career which has seen his runners earn over $43 million.
RACE 3
- #5 Sacramento Q (3-1): Tampa shipper dropping down to a level where he can win.
- #3 Owin I Am (5-2): Has the speed figure to be up with the front horses when they cross the line.
- #4 Kristi’s Copilot (6-1): Good speed figures and dropping down to Clm 5000 where he won in April.
RACE 4
- #6 End All Get All (3-1): Aqueduct shipper dropping to a level where he has a good shot in here.
- #3 Ohyoudidntknow (6-1): Another New York shipper that has a shot at this class level.
- #2 Grandfire (4-1): This speed horse will try to take them gate to wire.
RACE 5
- #2 Li’lbito’charm (9-5}: In good form and dropping down. Fits well with these.
- #7 Kit Kat Katie (3-1): Ness is good at inning and stepping up to win net time out.
- #4 Reigning Fire (20-1): Has run a few respectable races and may get into the exotics.
RACE 6
- #6 Nomo Ron (2-1): Always runs a good race and looks like the best in here.
- #7 Honorable Service (6-1): Aqueduct shipper looks like he outclasses most of these.
- #3 Federal Case (4-1): Have to respect his early speed. He could steal the race.
- BackTracks: Star de Naskra “really something”In a new BackTracks: Maryland-bred Star de Naskra gave owner-breeder Jiggs Lancaster his first stakes winner in a long career — and then a whole lot more.
RACE 7
- #1A Mystical Charge (7-2): Only horse in here who has been able to run figures close to par.
- #6 Ms Canela (5-1): Dropping and not much else to beat in here.
- #10 Visiting Angel (6-1): Ran a couple decent races in her young career; If she gets a good break she could be a threat.
RACE 8
- #9 Thorny Tale (7-2): Has been working well and it looks like he’s primed to fire.
- #2 Big City Ralph (10-1): Has run some good races this year and several trainers want him in their barn.
- #5 Govenor Cinch (5-1): Has not run in over a year but if he can run anywhere near last year’s form he will handle these.
RACE 9
- #2 Bode O (8-5): Improving three-year-old should be able to defeat this field.
- #1 Ridin with Biden (3-1): Has shown early speed at Gulfstream and almost won debut at Parx.
- #7 Mean Machine (4-1): Has run better figures than most others in here.
RACE 10
- #8 Koan (6-1): Very versatile but 5-month layoff is a concern; however he has the talent to win here.
- #3 Midnight Act (7-2): Has a case of seconditis and that may continue here.
- #6 Colonel Juan (2-1): Has not won in a long time and won’t bet him on top until he proves himself.
RACE 11
- #2 Star Luck (10-1): Second try at this condition and not many fast horses in this group.
- #4 Capitan Fofo (3-1): In good form and may be able to move up to the next condition and score.
- #7 Inclunation (10-1): Showed some early speed in recent races.
