Check out my Tuesday (9-15-26) Parx Racing Race 9 analysis below.

Scratches: #2 – El Apagon, #4 King Peanut, #8 Fielding

Updated Tickets After Scratches:

PRX 9 (Str-OC-25k, 3&up, 5.5f) – Post Time 4:16 PM ET
Primary – #7 FINE DIAMOND, #1 Nikki’s Charm
Secondary – #3 Tough Guy Tony

Horse Comments:

#7 Fine Diamond (6-1) won two local sprints in June and the sophomore gelding owns early-pressing versatility. He reconnects with his winning rider Frankie Pennington.

#1 Nikki’s Charm (6-1) wired the field in his first two local starts as the favorite by a combined 19 1/2 lengths. He was claimed for $25k July 22 and he pressed, led, and missed by a head at 6.5f at 5-1 odds Sept. 1. He should impact the pace from the inside post.

#3 Tough Guy Tony (5-1) hit the board in his last two starts and was claimed out of his last outing for $25k. He graduated at this course and distance last summer.
