There’s no place like home! There’s no place like home! Yes, you hear that in The Wizard of Oz, but you would hear that from my lips if I chose to livestream, let’s say my Twitch channel, how I put together these articles on days where my home track, Parx Racing, is on the docket.
The featured race today is race 8 at Turf Paradise, the Hank Mills Sr. Stakes, which is a six furlong stakes race going six furlongs on the main track. A full field of 12 horses are entered for this race that will go off as the final race of the day at 5:56 pm Eastern time.
It’s Sunday, so that means we will head out to the west coast to Santa Anita for their seventh race of their Sunday nine-race card. This is the Clocker’s Corner Stakes, which is a six and a half furlong turf race down the hill. Eight horses are entered for this race with an estimated post time of 6:41 pm Eastern time.
Welcome back for the Saturday edition of the QPW, and today we will take a look at the final four races on the Gulfstream Park cards, races 10 to 13, as it is Pegasus World Cup Day. The format may have changed over the last few years, but the best older horses make their way to South Florida.
As we get to today’s race from Laurel Park, we may have that situation again. If you like my selection and it is scratched, check my Twitter/Instagram/Threads as I will try to give an updated pick.
We had back down I-75 and back over to Hallandale Beach for the eighth race at Gulfstream Park as eight three-year-old fillies will run five and a half furlongs on the Tapeta. Post time for the penultimate race of the day is approximately 3:39 pm ET.
After a couple of days off, Quills Picks Winners returns with a trip down to Tampa Bay Downs for their Wednesday finale. Ten horses go to the gate for this allowance going a mile and an eighth on the turf. Looks like the race will be on the turf, with a post time of approximately 4:30 pm ET.
Since we have a Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks prep race today, I thought I would pivot away from my usual way of picking a single race and spotlight the Fair Grounds by looking at the last five races in the card. Yes, this will be a long article, but it will be a fun little exercise here
After originally planning to head to Arkansas for today’s QPW, we head instead to Gulfstream Park for today’s race as Oaklawn has cancelled their entire slate of racing this week in Hot Springs, Arkansas. So we will pivot to Gulfstream Park for their ninth and final race of the day as $25,000 maiden claimers go a mile and a sixteenth on the synthetic.
