He had been the leading trainer at Parx THROUGH NUCKOLS Racing in 2019 and was again on top of the standings in 2020. Racing for lucrative, slots-infused purses, he won 107 races last year at Parx for earnings of $3,160,143. Now, he=s just trying to stay in business.

AIf this thing goes on another two months, I have no idea what the answer will be. It=s a scary situation.@ Taylor last started a horse at Parx Mar. 10. That was the last day the track held racing, shutting down afterwards because of the coronavirus threat.
