Race 1
#2 WARRIOR’S VOW (3-1) – Ideally spotted in repeat bid as a gelding, but jockey goes elsewhere.
#1 FINANCIAL STRENGTH (5-1) – Steady check-getter but lone win since 2022 was in five-horse field.
#6 PLENTY OF TIME (2-1) – Carried speed on cutback to long sprint, Sanchez’s choice.
WARRIOR’S VOW ran away from the 0-for-17 runner-up to win in his first start as a gelding, but he looked good doing it and meets six rivals today who are a combined 5-for-116. Bet to win and place.
Race 2
#1 TRY HARDER (4-1) – Won in photo finish, lost in photo finish, steps up for new barn.
#7 CHICA CHUCK (3-1) – Recovered from steadied start to finish behind the favorites at same distance.
#2 RUMAWAY (6-1) – Sprung 36-1 shocker, starts after seven-week rest for barn going well of late.
TRY HARDER overcame a pair of slow starts to finish on both sides of photo finishes at 6F. He gets more ground, enters a 23-percent claim barn and can repeat with a better break. Bet to win and place.
Race 4
#7 CAUSE I SAID (8-1) – Steps up off the claim, distance suits, the price is right.
#1 DECOUPAGE (3-1) – First or second in 8 of 13 starts at Parx, tactical speed comes in handy from rail.
#4 JEZEBEL JADE (8-1) – Gets needed class relief, can add value to gimmick wagers.
CAUSE I SAID showed some late interest while chasing the first of five wire-to-wire winners on the November 13 Parx card. She benefits from the extra half furlong and added pace presence in the race for her new connections. Bet to win and place.
