[USCPHILLYGUY]

Crazy times we live in

[jjgold]

[Slipknot26]

[RudyRuetigger]

Good

I hope they can only go play tennis with the virus

That'll show em

[pavyracer]

San Diego one of the most infected places in the US right now.

[jjgold]

Jockeys must be dumb

Unfortunately it’s bad.

But these are horses with no fans.

It’s stupid

But where do the jockeys live? Are they all staying in the same hotel?

[pimike]

Yea but it’s not like the jockeys are sleeping together.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

They're all living on racetrack grounds and I believe if they leave, they can't ride at the track.

[Mac4Lyfe]

How is that possible??

One of the jockeys probably brought in a skank or stepped out, broke quarantine and infected others.

Sounds like it started when many of them were at Los Alimitos

Numbers are starting to spike again in upstate NY.

Give people an inch and they’ll take a mile. Too many people acting like its gone. Ruining it for everyone. Businesses going bankrupt because people can act like adults.

[big joe 1212]

Saratoga allowing owners in. I bought a piece of 4 horses so I’m hoping to get in when they run.

[2daBank]

Yea but it’s not like the jockeys are sleeping together.

Are we sure?

What part the horse you own?

[big joe 1212]

Tail

[pimike]

Are we sure?

Haha

No

[mikejamm]

Unreal. Horse racing is about all we’ve got besides soccer. Fuk’in tracks should be do’in more to prevent this shit. If it starts running rampant with the jockeys traveling like they do, horse racing will be fuk’ed too.

[pologq]

no outside jockeys to be flown in for races at saratoga either

Any jockey that rides at a racetrack outside of Saratoga beginning Thursday will be considered an out-of-town jockey and will not be permitted at Saratoga. All personnel working at Saratoga Race Course in any capacity are required by NYRA to produce a negative COVID-19 test in order to access the property

[jjgold]

WOW!!

They are strict

and if they leave they cant come back

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

they are probably hanging out with each other having some beers. Their rooms are the size of dorm rooms so if they had a few guys in there together, easy to spread

[Jellymancan]

and if they leave they cant come back

That's how it should be. Travelling all over the place is a recipe for a diaster. Pick a track until the meet is over, it's better than nothing as I bet most owners, trainers, and jockeys agree with this new protocol.

Jockeys having beers Guys are on 300 calorie a day diets

Are we sure?

Are they Mexican?

Because Mexican dudes are notorious for being bi-sexual.

Now I know why I got roofied when I went to play pool at the Mexican bar. I made it out of there, but my legs were like Jello.

[d2bets]

15 out of how many? Wow.

[BigdaddyQH]

So Jockeys like Joel Rosario, Flavian Prat, Mike Smith and others are going to have to stay put. Serves them right.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

That's funny because I learned my knowledge at a Mexican bar that I used to play pool at.

The bartender is the one that filled me in, she told me to watch my drinks around them.

Lucky you got out of there when you did, Hawkeye.

[KVB]

...I learned my knowledge at a Mexican bar that I used to play pool at...

Uhhh, DDD, that was no pool cue you were holding and those weren’t pool balls you were banging around.

Just sayin’.
