The Parx Future Stars Filly Division Stakes is a stakes race for two-year-old fillies, contested over 7 furlongs on dirt with a purse of $75,000.
This event is part of the Parx Racing stakes schedule and showcases promising juvenile fillies, with preference given to stakes winners and high earners in case of oversubscription.
The field of nine fillies includes several with recent wins and stakes experience, setting up a competitive race where pace setters and strong closers could dominate. Favorites like Tap Into Grace and Law School are expected to see heavy support, but value exists with improving types like C’est Chouette and Divine Intentions in what could be a formful affair.
Venue Location
Parx Racing is located at 3001 Street Road, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020.
The track features a one-mile dirt oval with chutes for sprint and route races, known for its consistent surface that generally plays fair but can favor speed on fast days or become demanding on off tracks.
Post Time: The race is scheduled for Tuesday, December 30, 2025, with a post time of 3:41 p.m. ET for Race 9.
This is part of a standard Parx card, with the first post at approximately 12:05 p.m. ET and races spaced 30-40 minutes apart.
Expected Weather Conditions
The forecast for Bensalem, PA, on December 30, 2025, calls for snowy and cold conditions, with temperatures around 38°F (3° below average for the month).
Expect precipitation in the form of snow, with below-average monthly totals of 1.5 inches, but potential for accumulation on the day that could affect visibility and track maintenance.
Track Conditions
The main dirt track at Parx is expected to be sloppy or muddy due to the forecasted snow and cold temperatures, which may lead to a tiring surface favoring horses with proven off-track form or strong stamina pedigrees (e.g., sires like Gun Runner or Mitole).
If snow is light, it could dry to good or fast by post time, but winter conditions often result in a sealed track for protection.
