Horse Racing picks for Parx race track on Tuesday, July 19: Hollywood Jet set for takeoff

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

There is great racing across America on Tuesday, including at Parx race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now and are up +284.83 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 Racing.

1:22 pm ET Parx (Race 2) – Ambitiously Placed 2/1 (2-star play)

Ambitiously Placed delivered 2 on-the-board finishes in $16,000 starter optional claiming races on the main track at Parx with the first coming over a mile 3 starts back. She is versatile distance-wise having been beaten 3 1/2 lengths into 3rd over 5 1/2 furlongs subsequently.

The return to dirt is a positive following a disappointing last-of-10 finish when beaten 16 lengths over a mile on turf at Parx last month and she looks up to delivering a winning effort for a top jockey/trainer combination.

4:04 pm ET Parx (Race 8) – Thundershook 4/1 (2-star play)

The 6-year-old son of Super Saver has shown a liking for this track, winning 7 times there, including by 4 3/4 lengths in a $12,500 starter optional claiming contest over 7 furlongs in January. He was moved from this track subsequently and performed well when 3rd in a mile and 1/16th starter optional claimer at Laurel early last month.

He has a top jockey in Ruben Silvera up and is selected to help handler Jamie Ness improve on his impressive 32% strike-rate (97/305) at this meeting. 

4:56 pm ET Parx (Race 10) Hollywood Jet 5/2 (2-star play)

Hollywood Jet impressed when making all to deliver a 10 1/2 length victory in a 5 1/2 half-furlong $12,500 starter optional claimer at this venue in May. He proved no match for a Graded winner when 3rd in the Mr Prospector Stakes upped to 6 furlongs at Monmouth Park subsequently, however.

He gets a drop in grade today and, having finished on the board in both his previous starts over this 7-furlong trip, he is taken to provide trainer Carlos J Milan with a winner.
