Coming off a second-place finish at Penn National, Housebuster Dude was a generous 5-1 on the tote board for a race at a mile and 70 yards at Parx Racing.

With Angel Castillo in the irons, the 3-year-old First Dude colt bred by Porter Racing Stable sat comfortably off the pace in the two path down the backstretch. Castillo took him wide into the stretch and Housebuster Dude looked more like a 1/5 shot down the lane, drawing off to score by 4 1/2 lengths, clocked in 1:44.80. He paid $13.80 and earned a check for $13,800, increasing his bank account to $50,185 on a record of 2-3-0 in 15 starts. His Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 68 is best of his 15 races.
