2nd racing horse 7 at parx casino11/17/2023 Major winners in the last 20 years include Ashado, Havre de Grace, Plum Pretty, Close Hatches, Untapable, Songbird, and Clairiere. Much like the Pennsylvania Derby, though, the Cotillion has built significantly in importance during the 21st century, as trainers keep running sophomores against their own age group for longer before showing up in races like the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. The race moved to Keystone Racetrack (the place later known as Philadelphia Park, and now called Parx Racing) in 1974, and has been run there ever since. Racing fans have enjoyed the Cotillion since 1969, when the eventual hall of fame inductee Shuvee won it at Liberty Bell Park. In fact, the Cotillion is an even older race than its open-company complement, the Pennsylvania Derby. The race, at 1 1/16 miles on the dirt, is a major destination in the 3-year-old fillies’ division as well as a perennial prep for major stakes races late in the season like the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. The $1 million Cotillion Stakes (G1) is the other top-level event on the flagship day at Parx Racing.
