After heavy rains forced Parx to abandon the last race on Tuesday, the Horse Racing Safety and Integrity Association said it was “in communication” with the racetrack after race replays showed that Wednesday's races were conducted with a large pool of standing water on the inside rail in the stretch.

“HISA has been  made aware of the concerning video of the standing water on the track surface at PARX and is gather more information about the current surface testing metrics at the track,” a HISA spokesman said. “We are in communication with racetrack management to better understand how the surface could have been deemed safe for training and racing today.”

A smaller puddle was visible on the backstretch, with a far larger one in the homestretch. The races were conducted without incident.

If I were a major track – I'd experiment with running Monday thru Wednesday. Impossible to lose against this place. pic.twitter.com/SxdOF8DFjA
