Kenny Peck's Parx Racing picks for Saturday, Sept. 24

The biggest card of the year at Parx Racing features several compelling races, including the All Stakes Pick 4 (races 8-11):

RACE 8: Using all seven in this Pennsylvania Derby Championship, as favorite MR. JORDAN is more than capable but also vulnerable at a relatively short price. Every runner in the field has the credentials to win this if able to run to their best figure (7).

RACE 9: Very competitive Gallant Bob Stakes, which requires another deep spread. MIND YOUR BISCUITS is clearly in the best form of his career. THREEFIVEINDIA has won three of four starts, and he comes off a career-best figure. NAVY HYMN ships in from California, and he could be the main speed from the inside. NOHOLDINGBACKBEAR has Beyers that are good enough to win this. FULL SALUTE, part of the Plesa entry, has a sharp work for this. WHO'S OUT gets back to a sprint (6).

RACE 10: SONGBIRD will, rightfully, take the lion's share of the action in the Cotillion as she seeks to stay undefeated in her 11th start. But CATHRYN SOPHIA could be ideally spotted off the favorite, who figures to face at least some pressure in the opening stages, and she is also worth using given the expected trip (2).

RACE 11: Plenty of speed in the Pennsylvania Derby, which could work to the detriment of horses such as Nyquist and Cupid. But EXAGGERATOR should be nicely set up, regardless of track conditions, and GUN RUNNER has a chance to make the last run if he's able to sit off the duel and make a bid in the lane (2).

THE PLAY: ALL / 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11 / 2, 5 / 2,7 = 168 Combinations ($84 Ticket)
