RACE ONE EARLY DOUBLE- 4-5 PICK-5 – 4 w 5 w 5,6 w ALL w 6

4-WELL CONNECTED KID…comes off a sparkling win in 1:56.4 featured by strong backside surge. Race back to that should do the trick. 7-AMOR DEO…post hurt chances in last but did show some decent backstretch trot. Could make the ticket at a price off live cover here. 1-GOOD FEELING…always dangerous from inside post. Warrior loves to be in the thick of the fray from the get-go & rail is perfect spot.

RACE TWO 5-NORMANDY INVASION…can sizzle leaving the gate. Drew the coveted 5 post & should be on the engine looking to g down the road. 1-WINNING SOLUTION…key here is to be aggressive at the start. Compares very favorably with the competition assembled for this. 2-MASTER OF PUPPETS…comes in here off of a qualifier—a fast one, too—and held together OK late pacing final quarter in :29.2.

RACE THREE 5-OFFICERNAGENTLEMAN…was forced to try a different strategy on an “off” track in last & just couldn’t reach—but, still, a fine effort. 6-MR MASSIMO…warrior has class banking $444K in only 119 lifetime starts. Was used very hard leaving in last. Gets some class relief....

We thought our IdaBet.com players would want to know the current status of Parx’s opening date. Hampered by weather conditions that have been less than ideal, causing more delays in the resumption of training, management at Parx has now pushed back the return of live racing to Saturday, Feb. 27.

We will continue to keep our IdaBet players updated with information as soon as we receive it.

Thanks for choosing IdaBet.com and have a great weekend!
