2014 Parx Dash Handicap Race Favorite Entries

Ben's Cat - defending two time champion in this race (he finished second in this race in 2011) has an incredible 26 wins in 40 career starts including the 2012 and 2013 Parx Dash and the 2011 and 2012 Turf Monster Handicap on this track (he finished third in the 2013 Turf Monster). He had a three race win streak including the minor Jim McKay Stakes and Mister Diz Stakes - both at Pimlico and the minor Fabulous Strike Handicap at Penn National interrupted with a fourth last time out in the Grade 3 Jaipur Invitational June 7. He has four wins, a second and a third place finish in six starts on this track, has 11 wins at five furlongs and looks to start another win streak Saturday from post 9. Julian Pimentel has the mount on the morning line favorite - 5-2 odds.

Tightend Touchdown - Jason Servis pupil has placed in 12 of his last 13 starts ahead of this weekend - six wins, five seconds and a third place finish - impressive. Last time out was a win in the minor Pennsylvania Governor's Cup at Penn National May 13 after an uncharacteristic eighth in the minor Gulfstream Park Turf Spring in February and a good second to end his 2013 campaign - the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. Before that were seconds in the Grade 3 Turf Monster and behind Ben's Cat in the 2013 Parx Dash - his best ever results. Tightend Touchdown has 10 wins, six seconds and a third place finish in 21 career starts and is in by far the best form of his career. Kendrick Carmouche gets the call aboard the 3-1 second choice and 11 pound highweight from post 2 Saturday.

He has won both career starts on this track and will be looking to get back to his summer, 2013 form Saturday with Stewart Elliot in the irons from post 3 at 7-2 odds.

Marchman - Bret Calhoun trained colt has been terrific in 2014 - two wins, a second and two third place finishes this year. Last time out was a good second in the Grade 3 Jaipur Invitational at Belmont Park June 7 after a great win in the Grade 3 Twin Spires Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs in May and a win in the Grade 3 Shakertown Stakes at Keeneland in April. He makes his Parx debut after 14 career starts yielded five wins, three seconds and three third place finishes and will have Robby Albarado aboard from the outside post at an intriguing 4-1 odds.

Atlantic Seaboard - Ramon Preciado trained gelding makes his graded stakes debut Saturday off a Claiming score on this track June 23 after an ugly tenth in the minor Pennsylvania Governor's Cup at Penn National in May - his first ever stakes start.
