Given the climate (sorry) around racing now, and though it would be a logistical nightmare, cancelling racing in NY would have to be seen as a huge PR win, even if the Belmont Stakes has to be moved. If we care about the health of the humans and horses, it's a no-brainer.

It's really rather nice to be watching a Big Day of Racing broadcast that is really all about the racing and not about hats and cocktails and celebrities.

Twelve women trainers are running horses at Woodbine today. Twelve. What do Canadian horse owners know that U.S. horse owners don't?

Not so fantastic for all the Saudi women who are forbidden by law to do what these visitors can.

If the coronavirus had hit three years ago, when I was in cancer treatment, I likely wouldn't have been leave my apartment because my immune system was so compromised. Lots of people out there in that position--so be mindful when you talk about this "not being a big deal."

John Velazquez, jockey of Travers winner Code of Honor: "The signs on the turf course were a new thing. We definitely can't do anything like that in a big race. We had no clue. We don't want the horses to be surprised when we're running. Put them down and be safe."

Seven years ago today, we lost Allen Jerkens. RIP, Chief. The racetrack isn't the same without you. With MGSW Any Limit at Belmont Park.
