Gosh I wonder who had the positive from The Oaks?

They're saying Gamine again, not a good sign. She must be very susceptible to things in her system?

This article explains consequences for Gamine

Second time for Gamine.  Wonder how it all plays out.

The Derby returns to original date next year, including  up to 50% of reserved seating, no general admissions....... we’ll see about that....

Yeah we’ll see.  I think most of 2021 is going to be a repeat of 2020.  I can see the Derby date staying the first Saturday in May though.

Churchill cancels all turf racing as they’re not satisfied how it is handling the weather changes. Wonder if really changed due to the fatality?

 I kinda got the idea from the article that the fatality had something to do with their decision.

Glad they actually made this decision.  Churchill Downs did something right.

Alejandro races at Churchill today.  4:36 pm est.
