The program had winners with FIT2 selections in back-to-back races at Parx today. In the 2nd race, run at 1 1/16 mi. on the dirt for three-year-olds and up, #7 Mammaigothis at 8-1 was a FIT2 selection for his high LP estimate at 51.8%, while also having decent SPD with a 17.7% win estimate.

In the race, Mammaigothis came like a freight train from well off the pace to run down #1 Violent Impact at 3-2 (coupled entry with Curlin’s Knight) and #4 Traffic Trouble. Here the superior LP projection for Mammaigothis translated into strong performance by the horse at 1 1/16 mi.

In the 3rd race, #9 Finglas at 3-5 was a 1st selection with a win probability of 14.39% and received the FIT2 checkmark for his high LP estimate of 73.5%.

Predictable result.
