Parx cancels for a third day on Wednesday
?q=100)
Parx Racing will cancel its third straight day of racing on Wednesday due to inclement weather. The track has been deemed unfit for racing due to a sharp drop in temperature in the last two days, compounded by the effects of a snowstorm earlier this week.
On Sunday into early Monday, the area around the Bensalem, Pa., track received approximately eight inches of snow. Temperatures during the storm dropped below freezing and have remained low since. Track announcer Jessica Paquette confirmed that the harsh conditions since the storm prevented Parx from reopening this week.
Cancellations in the winter at Parx are common due to inclement weather. In 2024, Parx canceled five race days between Jan. 15-23, as well as three straight scheduled racing days between Dec. 23-28.
This week’s string of cancellations is Parx’s second three-day break in 2025, as the track also canceled a week of racing in June due to excessive heat.
