Horse Racing picks for Parx race track on Tuesday, October 18: Ridin With Biden gets the vote

Jockey Leslie Mawing atop Highwaytwentyseven (5) wins the second race of the day as the Tampa Bay Downs

There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Tuesday, including at Parx race track in Philadelphia. We have been on fire with our picks for a long time now and we are up +270.04 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Parx race track.

2:43 pm ET Parx (Race 5) – Trigger Happy 8/5 (2-star play)

Trigger Happy has failed to score in 4 starts since impressing with a wide-margin victory in a mile maiden special weight on a good main track at Hawthorne in December. He has been competing in allowance and allowance optional claiming company, but has been given a break since a 5th at the Chicago venue in May.

He delivered an impressive minute-flat 5-furlong breeze in his penultimate timed work and is taken to double his career tally for trainer Larry Rivelli.

3:10 pm ET Parx (Race 6) – Pardsy 8/5 (2-star play)

Trained by the track’s top handler Jamie Ness, Pardsy was making just his second start at Parx when winning a 6-furlong $16,000 starter optional claiming contest there last month. He followed that up with a good 2nd in a $12,500 claimer over 5 1/2 furlongs on a sloppy track at Delaware Park just under 2 weeks ago.

Ruben Silvera returns to the saddle today and the 5-year-old can help him to improve on his 22% strike-rate (138/635) at this meeting.

4:33 pm ET Parx (Race 9) – Ridin With Biden 5/2 (2-star play)

The winner of 3 of his 5 starts since a gelding operation earlier this year, the son of Constitution delivered a length victory when making all the running in the Grade 3 Greenwood Cup Stakes over a mile and a half at this venue last month.

The shorter trip today is no issue as he won in allowance company over this trip at Delaware Park in June and the 4-year-old is taken to deliver a victory under Paco Lopez.
