On Steve Byk today, 2nd hour - FL is expecting to open the backstretch June 1 and plan to resume racing, without fans, 1st week of July....if all goes as planned.
FL region one of 3 cleared for early re-opening by Coumo This week. Finger Lakes region, Southern Tier, and Mohawk Valley.
Central NY and the North Country are close - 1 more step to meet.
This bodes well for Saratoga to race without fans as well - much more likely now than two weeks ago.
Also good news. FL has set up its own stimulus plan for the horseman - $25/$100 for each start in 2019.
