Parx will have a $145,980 carryover in its Philly Big 5 (late pick 5) wager Wednesday, featuring a mandatory payout provision. The all-stakes sequence starts in Race 6 with the Pennsylvania Nursery with an approximate post of 2:20 pm ET. Overnight rains in greater Philadelphia should be considered when handicapping the card.Parx: Race 6 (2:20 pm ET) | $100,000 Pennsylvania NurseryTrainer Butch Reid has a pair of strong options om #4 Flyin Hawaiian and #7 Mailata, neither of which is among the top-2 favorites in the morning line. Flyin Hawaiian smashed a dash cast in late July in his only local appearance before pressing and fading to expected 2YO champion Ted Noffey in Saratoga’s Grade 1 Hopeful. He’s got 6 well-spaced drills for the return and should factor on the front. #7 Mailata wired maidens around 2 turns last out, but showed ability to rally in 2 sprints prior and should be perfectly suited for 7 furlongs under ace local pilot Mychel Sanchez (this combo wins 33% together at Parx).Parx: Race 7 (2:47 pm ET) | $75,000 Cornucopia StakesDefending race champ #5 Beach Daze is 15-1 morning line off a series of lackluster no-fires from off the pace, but note a stellar mark on wet tracks and that he was 10-1 and not in any sort of predictive form when upsetting this a year ago. #9 Nature’s Candy has been in a groove of late and her best would be effective here, albeit she has a penchant for some misfires. #10 Doctor Abbie has moved up noticeably in 2 starts since coming to Penn National-based Tim Kresier’s barn. She will be cooking late and loves a wet track. #1 Alani is about as consistent rail speed and awfully reliable. #6 Takethemoneyhoney ran Saturday at Laurel and would be expected to scratch.Parx: Race 8 (3:14 pm ET) | $75,000 Turkey Trot StakesNone of the favorites – #4 Adero, #6 Irish Cork or #8 Ninetyprcentmaddie – will be mistaken for a win machine over the past year, often finding 1 or 2 better. Let’s gamble on that continuing while buying the remainder of the lineup, all likely to be prices. The most likely of that 5-pack would be #3 Call Me Fast off a blitzing win vs. lesser for the dangerous Ness-Sanchez combo.Parx: Race 9 (3:41 pm ET) | $100,000 Shamrock Rose StakesSeveral of these are cross-entered tonight in Penn National’s Blue Mountain Stakes, and given regular rider Angel Cruz is named at Penn Nat and not at Parx, I’d expect morning line favorite Keystone State to scratch from this spot. #10 River Escape was fantastic after a troubled break in winning her debut like a good thing, spread-eagling the field November 5. I’d prefer to see a workout since for the Kate DeMasi trainee, but she’s a $120,000 Essential Quality 2-year-old buy who looks like a good one at this level. Single.Parx: Race 10 (4:08 pm ET) | $75,000 Let’s Give Thanks Stakes#8 Maximus Meridius looks aimed for this spot and has run big over the track and on off going. He should be right in the mix throughout, but there’s a tiny pause of concern with a 3-week gap in the workout tab in the past month or so. I wouldn’t expect #4 Twisted Ride back on 4 days’ rest even if trainer Michael Moore has had some success on rapid turnarounds. #1 Howgreatisnate would be an inclusion in the event the track is dry, but has struggled on wet surfaces. It’s likely a second single here with Maximus Meridius.The Ticket:7,4 with 5,9,10,1 with 3,1,2,5,7 with 10 with 8 = $20 for 50 cents

While the New Mexico-bred runners had center stage Monday at Zia Park, the Tuesday card boasts 7 stakes in open company.Zia Park: Race 8 (5:14 pm ET) | $100,000 Zia Park Championship#11 Track Phantom (4-1 morning line odds) got back on the beam at Remington Park last out with a commanding allowance win. He looks wisely spotted here for Steve Asmussen with a chance to get back to his Gun Runner and Lecomte Stakes-winning credentials. I’ll use him in exactas with #6 Woodcourt, #4 Holiday Pay and defending race champ #10 Heroic Move. Win bet #11. Exacta key-box 11 with 6,4,10.Zia Park: Race 10 (6:08 pm ET) | $300,000 Zia Park Derby#7 Mister Omaha (3-1 morning line odds) has really come to hand in recent starts for veteran trainer Joe Offolter. He’s best when making the front, but not pace dependent, which could be important given the sprint speed of #8 McKinzie Street in the starting gate. Expect him to get the tactical jump on favorite #3 Brotha Kenny. Win bet #7.

  The Cornucopia of Cash continues through this week as 1/ST BET and Xpressbet players take advantage of Bet $100, Get $10 promotions on select cards. Tuesday’s featured track for the bonus cash is Finger Lakes. Let’s get to work.Finger Lakes: Race 3 (1:06 pm ET)#7 Mad Magic (7-2 morning line odds) gets back to a preferred 2-turn distance after an even sprint try vs. tougher. Should be strong at this class level for a Ferraro-Perez team that’s exceptional locally in tandem, while Perez has been red-hot in route races of late (47% in exacta since October 1). Win #7. Exacta key-box 7 with 3,5,1.Finger Lakes: Race 8 (3:26 pm ET)#2 John the Baptist (5-1 morning line odds) has found a home since coming to Finger Lakes and the Nirka Huertas barn. This 9% stable on the year has taken off of late, winning 3 of its last 10 with a couple of placings to boot. Drawn well to save ground here on the natural class rise. Win #2. Daily Double 2-10 to pick in next race.Finger Lakes: Race 9 (3:54 pm ET)#10 Light Thoughts (10-1 morning line) ran better-than-it-looks against much tougher competition last out with a middle-move and fade. Back to a very capable level for a Nika Huertas barn that, as mentioned in Race 8, has been very strong of late. Win-place #10. Exacta key-box 10 with 3,8.

The Thanksgiving holiday week gets off to a fast start Monday with the $300,000 Steel Valley Sprint at Mahoning Valley and the 7-stakes New Mexico Classic Day card at Zia Park. Add in a Del Mar makeup day from last Friday’s weather cancellation and it already feels like the holiday is here. Horseplayers at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet get 10X 1/ST Rewards Points today on all plays at Zia Park.Mahoning Valley: Race 10 (4:18 pm ET) | $300,000 Steel Valley Sprint#11 Guns Loaded will be a deserving favorite off a smashing return win at Churchill in September. The Jose D’Angelo trainee was set back by a 2-turn bid in the Holy Bull that was reasonable to try given his pedigree, but his running lines have always suggested he’s best sprinting. There’s a solid pace here for his patient style to pounce. Look for #2 Hymn (10-1 morning line) to perhaps improve with a rider change to Evin Roman. Not that he’s better than Luis Saez, just that Hymn has made a few premature moves under Saez and any change of tactics might get this one back to his highly promising Oaklawn unveiling. Exacta play 11-2.Zia Park: Race 8 (5:14 pm ET) | $150,000 New Mexico Classic JuvenileNo doubt the Albuquerque duo of #9 Speed Merchant and #2 Bully Boy will garner the attention in the third installment of their budding rivalry. But neither is guaranteed to handle the Zia Park surface the same. We know #4 Fort Sumner (10-1 morning line) did so nicely in his debut. He’s a well-meant $80,000 buy by $7,500 stallion Marking. I love that dominant Remington rider Ramon Vazquez gets the call here and he’s been razor sharp riding this meet early in the week before heading back to OKC. That’s the play.

Yonkers Raceway has a 12-race card featuring action from the MGM Grand Prix Pacing Series. There is a $10,459 carryover in the $1 Pick 5 that begins in Race 5. So, that sequence will have a $25,000 guaranteed pool tonight. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 9, and it will be my focus.Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)1-Miki Shan (3-1) N-1-Miki Shan 3-1-Hasn’t raced since 10-12 and was scratched sick here on 10-28. Did put in a nice qualifier on 11-17. Raced from the back leaving from post 6 and stormed home in 54.3. Finished a close 5th against a tough field. Could wire this crew if fires hot off the bench.2-El Rey (5-1)-The 5-year-old has a 151.3 mark here last year and usually only races on the Hilltop on special occasions. Bartlett will have the Andrew Harris pupil forwardly placed and with the inside draw could put up a win in the 1st leg of the Grand prix series.Race 10 (9:45 PM EDT)1-Vicious (5-1)-The Joe B entry is best, as in only wins if on the engine. That seems to be the case, and Brent Holland will have the pedal down to take control. If left alone, this pilot could steal a quarter and then it has a chance to knock-off the one below.4-Christopher Dance N (6/5)-The Cullipher 5-year-old exploded home with a 54.2 back half to draw off by over 4 lengths in last. Faces the same kind tonight and should be another tiny price. Jason Bartlett has options, and speed at his disposable, this is a must use at a tiny price.Race 11 (10:05 PM EDT)1-Hammering Hank (5/2)-The Burke trainee came a good 2nd at 8-1 last time. That was the 1st start in town since shipping back from The Meadows. There could be others that leave but when the dust settles Yannick Gingras should be no worse than in the pocket. Looks like a main player in a race without a standout.3-Just Enuff Stuff (9/2)-Makes the 1st start for trainer Mike Forte barn and that barn posts 18% winners after a claim. Won 2 and 3 back and that streak ended last week with a 7-hole draw. Beaten chalk could make amends if George Brennan does a good job of timing the gate. Should have a big chance of getting a top of the stack trip, just like the one above.Race 12 (10:25 PM EDT)3-Rockin N Talkin (7/2)-Back in October while in the Stratton barn, the veteran beat the $25k claimers twice and the $30k claimers. Then was claimed by Deb Daguet and has raced against the $40 claimers in the last 2 starts and recent form has looked dull. Gets some needed class relief and now faces a beatable group of $30k claimers.4-Walkinshaw N (2-1)-The 13-year-old doesn't bring his fastball out every race, but when it leaves from the inside it usually is in the mix. Has a similar profile as the one above, form has tailed off and now gets class relief. But the Hudson trainee has an advantage over others, it gets a new set of hands as Bartlett is at the controls. There is some early speed inside and the race could set up for a closer.$2 Late Pick 41,2/1,4/1,3/3,4Total Bet=$32Check me out on Twitter!
