Parx To Allow Owners And Fans Beginning July 6 With New Guidelines

Owners and fans can soon return to the races at Parx, according to a Facebook post earlier this week by the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association.

On July 6, owners and fans will be allowed to attend but restricted to the grandstand in designated areas. They will not be permitted to reenter the backstretch or track kitchen yet.

Trainers, jockeys, and grooms will be the only personnel permitted in the winner's circle, on the track apron, and in the paddock.

The horsemen's group indicated the track was working with state health officials to determine best practices in phased reopening.

July 6 will also see the return of claiming races, which had been left out since the track resumed racing on June 22 in an attempt to prevent extraneous contact between horsemen and racing office officials amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
