Prx - Pace and Cap

Any news as to the conditions at Parx Bill?

Bill V. · 02-20-2014, 10:54 AM

Nothing new

They had to cancel after race 2 on Tuesday because the track had been frozen
and with the temps just above freezing it started to unfreeze and became very dangerous.

Nothing new on the effected barns.

Parx is dark today and Friday

Hello Bill V.,

How do you know that Prx Track is closed because of the extremely bad conditions at this track or to find out information about any track in this same situation, in example, Finger Lakes, Aqueduct, Penn National etc. I would appreciate it to know Bill.

Thank you.

Equibase usually list the reason for the cancellation ie weather, track condtion etc.

Hi DSL

Parx has a real nice facebook page

They only have eight races so things might not be 100% yet

Hey Bill I see the track was closed for training today. Not a good sign. Seems like they have a lot of trouble holding it together.

That's not good.

It has been a brutal Winter for sure. We've been in the deep freeze, with a ton of snow, since Thanksgiving. Yesterday and today we saw a break finally and have been getting rain which has now turned into flooding

By Thursday were going to be a high of 1 degree at night again. Won't be long though as St. Paddy's is my official start of Spring.

Yes Tim
The fact that they only carded 8 races is not a good sign

We just need to get past this winter

Bill

I believe the 8 race card is due to the virus and horses not being able to ship in. Agree this winter has been rough. I for one am tired of shoveling snow.
