PA Day will be held on Labor Day, Monday September 7th at PARX Racing with over a half million in purses! The card will feature five PA-Bred Stakes and as usual the balance will consist of Pa Restricted Races. With the threat of the spread of Covid-19, there will be no luncheon. The abil- ity of owners and their guests to attend and even be in the paddock or winner’s circle will depend on protocols in place at that time.

Cancelation of the day was an option but we realized that many of our PA-Bred breeders and owners look to this day as a chance to showcase their horses and earn black type. With the help of PARX Racing and the PTHA, they’ll still have that chance. Good luck and Go Pa!!

Breeder/owner/trainer Elizabeth Merryman has sent out her gray filly Caravel three times in her career, all since June 24, and has gone to the winner’s circle three times. In Caravel’s most recent start, her stakes debut in Presque Isle Downs’ Lady Erie, she dominated through the stretch to win by three and a quarter lengths over the all-weather surface. The 3-year-old filly fought for the lead the entire six furlongs, through opening fractions of :21.78 and :44.97, and drove home in a final time of 1:10.08 is the test against open company. Merryman sent out Caravel twice at Penn National at five furlongs on the turf. In her debut, Caravel rallied from last of 10, nearly a dozen lengths back, to win by daylight. In her second start on July 29 she destroyed the field to score by five and a quarter lengths in a final time of :54.66, just .05 seconds off the course mark set in 2002 by multiple stakes-winning older horse Bop.
