Parx Race 2

Post: 1:22 PM ET; Purse: $19,000 Maiden Claiming, 6 1/2 Furlongs on Dirt; Entries: 8

• #7 WITHOUT A VIEW (9-2) merits consideration in this spot given edges in speed & stamina.

Parx Race 3

Post: 1:49 PM ET; Purse: $42,000 Maiden Special Weight, 2 Furlongs on Dirt; Entries: 6

These two furlong races are really tough to handicap especially with only first time runners in the field.

• #4 CHANCE OCCURRENCE (5-1) is a solid price and is probably the one I would want to bet.
• #6 MY TRUE PASSION (3-1) has breeding to suggest this one will take well to the dirt. While this one will likely be a sprinter, no one breeds for 2 furlongs.
• #2 CONDESCENDING (5-2) goes out for great connections.

Selections: 1-8-6-2

Parx Race 5
