Check out my Tuesday (10-27-26) Parx Racing Race 8 analysis below.
PRX 8 (OC-75k/2L, F&M, 6.5f dirt) – Post Time 3:49 PM ET
Primary – #3 LATE NIGHT TEXT, #4 M Bs Melanie Cares
Secondary – #2 Haunting Echoes
Horse Comments:
#3 Late Night Text (3-1) was over her head in her last two stakes starts. She puts blinkers back on and goes back on Lasix, and she earned a quality number in her extended sprint maiden win at GP in April. Her new rider Jorge Vargas Jr. is 21% at Parx, and Rob Atras is a profitable 23% with shippers.
#4 M Bs Melanie Cares (5-2) was 5th of 9 at 20-1 odds in her MOC-50k bow at GP, and she was 5th of 9 (runner-up next-out winner). She was claimed out of her debut. She showed up in a Mcl-85k dirt sprint at SAR second time out, and she went all the way from the outside post at 12-1 odds (1st by 3.5 lengths). She earned an okay number in her maiden win and should impact the pace under her debut pilot Jose Morelos.
#2 Haunting Echoes (9-2) hit the board in 6 of her first 7 starts, and stalked and scored as the strong favorite at Penn National Oct. 8. She is entered for the $75k tag and should stalk the pace under her winning rider Andrew Wolfsont.
