A total of 142 entries were taken for Pennsylvania Day at the Races, the 13-race extravaganza for Pennsylvania-breds worth over $1 million, including seven $100,000 stakes, to be run Monday, Aug. 22 at Parx Racing.
This year's card of stakes offerings was expanded from five to seven with the addition of two restricted to Pennsylvania-bred and sired 2-year-olds, each of which attracted 12 entries. Going off as the ninth and 10th races, the first up will be the $100,000 Miss Blue Tye Dye for fillies, followed by the $100,000 Whistle Pig for open company.
Chub Wagon, the 2021 Pennsylvania-bred Horse of the Year, headlines the six-furlong $100,000 Dr. Teresa Garofalo Memorial, going off the seventh race at 3:47 p.m. The only loss of her 13-start career came in last year's Dr. Teresa Garofalo Memorial where she finished second.
The rest of the day's stakes are the $100,000 Banjo Picker Sprint S. at six furlongs for males three years old and up, the $100,000 Marshall Jenny H. at five furlongs on the turf, the $100,000 Mrs. Penny S. for fillies and mares going 1 1/16 miles on grass and the $100,000 Storm Cat S. routing on the dirt. Two $70,000 allowance races and four $60,000 maiden special weights round out the card. To view a complete list of the stakes action, click here.
