If Gulfstream continues to run that looks like the place to be. If any new information surfaces please share it here. Also if there is an alternative please post your comments. Stay safe and healthy.

Came across the linked article at Horse Racing Nation. It is very curious, since the only person quoted was a "Vice Mayor", and no specific action by the City or the County as mentioned. This almost sounds like a one person crusade by this Vice Mayor that does not have the backing of those with actual authority to issue cease and desist orders.

GP is scheduled to run today. Their pre-race program should be interesting to watch. I guess that all we can do is watch and wait to see what happens. I'm sure that GP's management will do everything within their power to run their signature race.

I kept thinking I was wasting my time before last weekend and that things would never go at Fair Grounds, but was proven wrong. So now I am thinking things are a go at Gulf so they will probably close down. My handicapping prognostications are no better than those about whether tracks will run or not. I am sure I am a biased horse racing fan, but seems to me that tracks have made an acceptable compromise by running without the in person attendance.

Looking like the Florida Derby will be 12 entries plus an A/E. That should be a tasty morsel for us to sink our teeth into. I was hoping they would move the 3 stakes on Friday to Saturday, but seems doubtful that will happen. it would have seemed like a better balance of dirt and turf, but I guess we just have to be glad for what ever we get.
