The “Lucky Strides” promotion this March at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet offers a $10 bonus when you bet $100 or more at select tracks each Tuesday and Thursday. Parx will be the track spotlighted for this Tuesday. Here’s how I’ll approach that card with the help of the Betmix Angler database.


Parx: Race 6

#4 Mildoon (9-2 morning line odds) rallied nicely when second-best to a total win machine favorite at the class level last time out. Trainer Miguel Rodriguez’s local March numbers are wild with 31% wins, 50% in the exacta from 16 starts and a $2.88 ROI for every $1 bet. He’s had 8-1 and 22-1 winners with 6-1, 9-1 and 13-1 runners-up among them. Win bet #4. Daily Double 4 with 4,6 to next play.


Parx: Race 7

#4 Romantic Gamble (10-1 morning line odds) goes first off the claim for a red-hot Mike Pino barn that won 2 races yesterday (including a $17 winner) and is 16-38 (42%) during the month of March at Parx. Horse has been knocking on the door vs. lesser while racing for a 9% trainer and the confident class rise here won’t need much “move up” to deliver. Should be the longer price of 2 Pino entries here as #6 Backside Buzz also rises in class off the claim, but from Jamie Ness, so there might not be as much improvement. Win-place bet #4. Exacta box 4-6.
