2016 Dr. James Penny Memorial Stakes Race Preview at Parx Racing

Tuttipaesi 5-2 - Irish bred Bill Mott trained mare won three of five starts at home before shipping. She debuted in North America in March, 2013 and finished third in the Grade 3 Herecomesthebride Stakes and followed that with a second in the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes a month later. She was off for 20 months before returning with a sixth in an Allowance in November, 2014. She enters off a terrific win in the Grade 2 Santa Ana Stakes at Santa Anita back on March 26 after a respectable third in the Grade 3 Marshua's River Stakes at Gulfstream January 9 and a two race win streak - the minor South Beach Stakes December 12 and the minor Suffolk Downs Distaff Turf in October. Jockey Tuttipaesi has posted three wins and a third in her last four starts and tries to keep the impressive run going from gate 8. Christopher DeCarlo will try to accomplish that goal on the lone graded stakes winner in the field and obvious morning line favorite.

Zipessa 3-1 - has six career starts for trainer Michael Stidham with three wins and a third place finish. Last time out was an OK third in the Grade 3 Mint Julep Stakes at Churchill Downs June 11 after as fourth in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Turf Mile May 7, an Allowance Optional Claiming score at Fair Grounds in March and an eighth in the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks last August. Zipessa has been just OK and hopes for her first graded stakes score Sunday. Florent Geroux has been tabbed to ride the morning line second choice from post 5.

Tammy the Torpedo 7-2 - lightly raced Chad Brown trained filly has eight career starts with four wins and a third place finish.

Tammy the Torpedo won two straight before her dud last time out and looks for a strong bounce back from gate 4. Javier Castellano has the mount on the third betting choice. She is cross-entered in the Perfect Sting Stakes July 2 at Belmont Park.

Tiger Ride 5-1 - Graham Motion trained filly has five wins, a second and a third place finish in 12 career starts.

She hasn't been great in two starts since. Last time out was a sixth in the Grade 3 Gallorette Handicap at Pimlico May 21 after an eighth in the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland in April. She also had a nice win in the minor Indiana Grand Stakes September 9, a fourth in the Grade 3 Monmouth Oaks and another minor stakes win - the TaWee Stakes last July. Tiger Ride was good at this time last year and hopes to rediscover that form from gate 6 Monday with Edgar Prado in the irons.

Inside Out 8-1 - lightly raced Arnaud Delacour trained filly has just six career starts with three wins, second and a third place finish. She makes her stakes debut Monday on the heels of a two race win streak.

She makes just her second start in a year but steps up in decent form. Daniel Centeno gets the call from the rail.

She makes her graded stakes debut off a career best effort - a win in the minor Lyphard Stakes at Penn National May 28 which followed a third in an Allowance Optional Claiming at Tampa Bay April 30 and off-the-board finishes in her previous four. Devilwentogeorgia arrives in career-best form and departs from gate 2 with Dana Whitney aboard.

Keystone Kelly 12-1 - Ramon Preciado trained mare makes her graded stakes debut Monday having recorded four wins, two seconds and a third place finish. Last time out was an Allowance Optional Claiming score here May 14 after an OK third in the minor Mrs. Penny Stakes on this track in September and consecutive sixths including the minor Northern Fling Stakes at Presque Isle Downs in July. She steps up in decent form and will look to build on a nice win last time out from post 7.Joshua Navarro is scheduled to ride.

Navajo Kitten 15-1 - has just two wins, four seconds and a third place finish in 19 career starts for trainer Mertkan Kantarmaci. He races in graded stakes company for the first time Monday and has four straight starts on this track.
