1:34 pm Parx (Race 3) – Afraidofthebunny 2/1 (2-star play)

The 3-year-old joined the Jamie Ness barn following a 6-length sixth in a $20,000 claiming contest over 6 furlongs at Oaklawn Park last month. The son of Distorted Humor showed plenty of promise when beaten two-and-a-half-lengths into second in a five-and-a-half-furlong $16,000 starter optional claimer when debuting for his new connections 3 weeks ago. Ruben Silvera, on board last time out is a positive jockey booking and the pick looks up to scoring stepping up in distance.  

2:14 pm Parx (Race 4) – Storied Fella 2/1 (2-star play)

Faded late on having raced from the front when beaten 5 lengths into fifth in a $25,000 starter optional claimer over a mile at this venue early last month. Claimed by current connections subsequently and has delivered some notable works since including a 38.05 run over 3 furlongs at this venue on May 26. Had missed an intended engagement here 3 days earlier and the son of Dortmund looks up to registering a victory down in trip and grade. 

2:55 pm Parx (Race 6) – Daydreaming Boy 5/2 (2-star play)

A dual winner in 5 starts at this venue the 3-year-old delivered a one-and-a-half-length victory in a six-and-a-half-furlong $75,000 allowance optional claiming contest here in March. Performed with credit when upped to 7 furlongs for the Grade 3 Bay Shore Stakes finishing fifth in a 7-horse field. The drop in grade here is in his favor and having registered a 49.59 time in 4 furlongs here earlier this month he looks up to returning to winning ways under Dexter Haddock.
