We are switching to following big race days in northeast and Florida with picks for Wednesdays and Saturdays until the move to Belmont. We will have daily selections for the entire Saratoga meet. We will have weekly features every Thursday to prepare for the best Saratoga experience from hotels to dining and entertainment.
The Big Philly Pick 5 will have a mandatory pay with 505K in the pool this morning and expected to grow. the fields are deep and the weather may add another variable to the plays. If it does rain, the rail has been the place to be on a wet track in recent weeks -- not normally the case for those that rarely play Parx.
Big Philly Pick 5
Race 7: 1,3,4, 5,7,12
5 American Fleet is the speed, but value play is 4 Social Group who almost won last out at a big price. Factor This In (4/7 at the distance) especially on a muddy track. 12 Wagon Boss on a off track is a must include.
Race 8: 1,8,9,10
10 Miss Dillingham could be a single if you dare which would allow you to spread in other legs.
Race 9: 1,3,5,7,9
5 Flat Out Flying has been running well as of late and should be a factor but hard to trust because the horse has found trouble in races -- s0 play 7 Exit Right (moves up on an off track) and 9 Secret Path as well.
Race 10 1, 5,6,7
1 Beverly Park is a formidable favorite and could be a single, but the race has lots of speed so it could fall apart. 6 Sneakiness shows good off track form if the rains come he looks even better. Add 12 Pictor if we have off going with Carmouche in the saddle and horse has shown affinity for off going.
Race 11 3,4,8,10
Again, if we are alive here, it would be great have hit the ALL button because we have come to expect the unexpected in these last races at Parx. Watch for the 2 Piggybank charging late in the off going.
