Really strange
Parx is going to a Saturday, Monday and Tuesday schedule until September
They are giving their fans a break however by running on Fathers Day |

It is all about the casino, They have a good niche racing Monday and Tues , And they
Figure they can get a good Saturday racing/ Saturday night casino crowd, SUNDAY afternoon is probably the busiest day for the casino , they probably want to cater parking and food services to that crowd |

It may have something to do with both MTH and Del now open and trying to avoid short fields since all 3 draw from the same horse pools. Who needs 3 track running 5 horse fields.

Miss
I only have been to Parx a few times since it became a casino with racing,
On Sundays it was packed, On Saturdays they had a nice crowd . As I was leaving after the last race ( not a casino bettor ) there were a lot more people coming in than exiting , They used to run the Pennsylvania derby on Labor day Monday , I don't think I was ever there on a Monday or Tuesday for more then a few races. That was a fun time. I miss Philly Park |

All the East Coast tracks from NY to MD have been altering the days they race on. 5 day race weeks are disappearing quickly. Like Bill I enjoy playing Parx and I'm disappointed to see Sunday racing cease for now.

I miss when it used to be called Keystone
My favorite jockey was Rick Wilson, he was great at rating a horse on the front end Later went to Laurel and got involved in a bad spill which left him paralyzed |
