Matchup Challenge Mar 28/29 by Seven Furlongs - Pace and Cap

The 7 is scratched from the 4th race at Parx.

My 2 kopeks worth regards this race:

The 9, 4, and 3 look to fight for the lead and potentially set fast fractions. The interesting thing about the 3 is that it is trained by Roman Preciado, who also has another entry in the 8 horse. Maybe the 3's purpose is to be a rabbit and cook the first two fractions? Seems possible.

So, because of that, the 9, 4 and the 3 are out and I think the race will run OTE.

The best off the pace horse is the 8 horse, which is the uncoupled Preciado horse. It has done well against a 22 1/5, 44 1/5 pace, finishing in 1:08 3/5. Granted I don't think the pace will be that fast, but, since the other very good off the pace horse is coming off a layoff over 90 days, the 2 horse, I think the 8 will win.

Win bet on the 8.
