Yonkers canceled Tuesday

I guess that with nearby New Rochelle being the East Coast's Ground Zero for COVID-19 may have something to do with that.

Somehow I doubt this. Think again.

What else has been bigtime headline news the last day or two? At least regarding actual racing.

Oh well, now I feel like dogshit. I'm very sorry to read this.

I thought it was due to the federal indictments being handed down and horses being scratched and whatever else might be going on with that.

Oh, and nobody ever said it was fake news, but thanks for politicizing it.

Once again, no politics in the horse racing section. Thanks.

Never said it was a hoax. Just think it's a total overreaction. BUt that's just my opinion, and opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.

"Never said it was a hoax."


nobody accused you of saying chit...far as I know.

you DID get "the message" from CPAC about the virus that killed Brennan though, right? starts with "h" ends with "x"?

He was a 69 year old with severe health issues for the last 20 years. He is exactly who the virus kills. The massive chaos is the hoax , not the virus threat to sickly people.

The casino is attached to the track. Why didn't they close that also.

He worked in the paddock which is maybe a quarter mile walk to the casino. I guess they think that's enough buffer. And I'm sure they don't want to close any gaming.

Right on. What chaos? I went on vacation, work today everything I always do. What makes it political? Calling it a hoax, saying you can go to work and saying it only kills certain people...... jeez, what relief. It’s in Saratoga, pharmacist handing out medicine. Store closed , people quarantined. Now this poor guy has died. Of course the media hypes..... that’s what they do best. Wait til pictures of grandma in a body bag come out......and morons are on tape saying it’s a hoax.....it’s gonna get real political then. This shit has crossed the world in two months. Wash your hands is a joke..... like just say no..... spreading like the freaking measles
