Carlos Guerrero ordinarily shies away from making expensive claims. Of the 36 horses Guerrero, the leading trainer at Parx Racing, has succesfully claimed this season, 26 changed hands for $12,500 or less. The 4-year-old filly Bahama Bound turned out to be a rare exception to Guerrero’s usual bargain hunting. Guerrero was willing to put up $50,000 on behalf of Farnsworth Stables to take Bahama Bound out of a winning effort at Delaware Park in late August. After a near-miss as the 6-5 favorite in her first start for her new connections, Bahama Bound will make her first start at Parx in Monday’s featured eighth race, a second-level optional $25,000 claimer for fillies and mares going a mile. Bahama Bound is a daughter of Empire Maker out of the California-bred mare Summer Wind Dancer, winner of the Grade 2 Delaware Handicap in 2004. Although Bahama Bound won her maiden racing for a $50,000 tag at Gulfstream Park in February 2010, four starts later her then-connections regarded her highly enough to run in the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks, where she finished fourth. In her first start for Guerrero, Bahama Bound rallied to get second, beaten three-quarters of a length going a mile and 70 yards at Delaware. Her 86 Beyer Speed Figure for that effort is slightly above the par of 82 for a second-level allowance at Parx. Among Bahama Bound’s seven rivals Monday is the much-improved 3-year-old Secret Longing. After racing exclusively on Tapeta at Presque Isle Downs from May throughy July with Beyers ranging from 37 to 55, Secret Longing has put together back-to-back wins in allowance races on dirt at Penn National and Parx. Although 0 for 5 on synthetics, Secret Longing is now 3 for 4 on dirt, but must improve upon her near-pair of 74 and 75 Beyers to challenge Bahama Bound. Another 3-year-old, Tiz the Argument, ships in from New York following a 4 3/4-length score worth an 85 Beyer in a first-level allowance at Belmont Park a month ago. The X factor is Maddie’s Odyssey, one of three entrants in for the $25,000 tag. Although winles in four previous tries on the main track, Maddie’s Odyssey is moving to the barn of Rudy Rodriguez, who shows a 13-for-28 record (46 percent) with new acquisitions making their first start for him following a break of 31 to 60 days.
