With a winter storm clobbering the region, Parx Racing will not open for either racing or training February 1 and February 2.

Aftercare Alliance announces holiday giving campaign
Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance announced today that its third annual Holiday Giving Campaign would run December 1-December 31.

The decision was not announced on the Parx Racing website, which in fact still had a banner reading “Live racing today.” Nor was it announced on the Parx Racing Twitter account, which has not tweeted in 10 months, or on the track’s Facebook page, which likewise has been inactive since last March.

However, the local horsemen’s group, the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, did post the information on its Facebook page Monday.

The Philadelphia area has been socked with heave snowfall, which is expected to continue into Tuesday.
