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. AMy hope is that I can get myself into a situation where I=m just treading water, not making or losing money and can pay my bills,@ he said. 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.
