Parx Racing picks, race by race

Why Imperial Spy: Brings the best recent figures into the race. Has improved in each of the last three starts. Ran 2nd last out, beaten 6 lengths.

Why Easter Bet: Took a big step forward last time. Quickest from the gate in a dirt sprint that tends to favor speed. Drops from a $25,000 claimer to $16,000.
- 3Top pickOff the DeckAdorno A · Preciado Guadalupe

- 3Top pickGatsbyChuan M · Ness Jamie
Why Gatsby: Right there on speed with the top runners. Drops from a $30,000 claimer to $20,000. Trainer Jamie Ness has a strong record with horses coming back in 31 to 60 days.
- 7Top pickGeostoblameChuan M · Ness Jamie
Why Geostoblame: Has a slight edge on speed in a tightly matched field. Won last time out in a starter optional claimer. The Jamie Ness barn does well with horses second off a layoff.

Parx Racing picks FAQ
Are these Parx Racing picks free?
Yes. Every Parx Racing card gets a free top pick for every race, a value play with the minimum odds worth taking, and the Best Bet of the day. Trackside Edge members also get the top three in every race with win estimates, pace notes, confidence ratings and multi-race tickets.
When are Parx Racing picks posted?
Our Parx Racing picks go up before the card, once entries are out, usually a day or more ahead. This page always shows the current or next Parx Racing card, and every past card stays in the archive below.
How are the Parx Racing picks made?
Every horse is rated by the TracksideProfits handicapping model: speed figures, current form and the likely pace first, then trainer and jockey, distance and surface fit and pedigree, then class, layoffs and workouts.
What does "Bet at 6-1 or higher" mean on a value play?
It is the lowest price at which the value play is worth a bet based on our win estimate. If the horse is shorter than that at post time, the value is gone.
What if one of the picks scratches?
Move to the next pick in that race. Picks are made before scratches and late changes, so always check the final field before you bet.
