OBS MARCHES ON AS ON A DAY OF TURMOIL FOR SPORT, NYRA, OAKLAWN, GULFSTREAM, FAIR GROUNDS PANDEMIC PANIC REACHES ANNOUNCE SHOW WILL GO ON FEVER PITCH by Bill Finley On a day when racetracks around the world, including Keeneland, announced they would be shutting their doors due to the COVID-19 outbreak, NYRA, Oaklawn, Gulfstream and the Fair Grounds announced their intentions to continue racing. The decision by NYRA may have been the most surprising among the three as it came just hours after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a ban of gatherings of 50 people or more and that restaurants, bars, movie theaters and casinos must shut down.

We=re washing our hands and trying to keep a good distance from one another.@ Earlier in the day, the governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut announced they had established a set of rules covering all three states regarding the coronavirus. Cuomo announced that the ban would cover movie theaters, restaurants and bars and nontribal casinos, including the Resorts World casino at Aqueduct. There was widespread speculation that the ban would include horse racing, but NYRA obviously interpreted it otherwise. Jeff Gural, the owner of the Meadowlands in New Jersey, said that he had been ordered by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy not to race. AI don=t know when we will be allowed to race again,@ Gural said. AThe shutdown is indefinite. Things are at a disaster level.@ NYRA said in its statement that it had consulted with the New York State Gaming Commission and that racing would fall under the guidelines set by Cuomo that prohibited gatherings of 50 people or more. NYRA will have strict limitations on who can attend the races, allowing only essential racetrack staff, a category that includes stewards, trainers, assistant trainers and grooms. Owners will not be permitted to attend. When asked for a comment on the continuation of racing, New York Thoroughbred Horsemen=s Association President Joe Applebaum chose to focus on the hardships being faced by the group=s members. AThe horsemen are dealing with an incredibly difficult situation and are trying to keep our horses and our people as safe as possible,@ he said. In a state that also has a number of harness racetracks, there was anything but a uniform response to COVID-19. Finger Lakes has not yet begun its 2020 racing season, but has announced that the facility will be closed indefinitely. As far as the harness tracks go, Saratoga Raceway has announced that racing will continue Wednesday. Monticello Raceway has announced it will be closed through Mar. 30. Buffalo Raceway will be dark until May 2. At Yonkers Raceway, where a horsemen=s group representative died last week due to the coronavirus, racing has been shut down indefinitely.

Laurel, as well as all casinos and tracks in the state of Maryland, has been ordered to shut down by the state=s governor. Monday=s racing lineup served as a reminder that nothing is the same as it was before COVID-19 swept into the U.S. The only thoroughbred track that raced was Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Oklahoma. Monday was the opening day of its spring meet. Will Rogers did not ban spectators. On a normal Monday, the racing schedule would have included Parx, Mahoning Valley and Turf Paradise. All were closed due to the virus.

DRAZIN ISSUES LENGTHY STATEMENT ON INDICTMENTS SUPPORTING HIA, ON-TRACK PHARMACY, OUTLINING PLANS FOR HIS SERVIS TRAINEES Choosing not to comment last week as the horse racing world responded en masse to the bombshell announcement of indictments against 27 figures in the sport, including high-profile trainers Jorge Navarro and Jason Servis, Darby Development CEO and Monmouth Park Operator Dennis Drazin has weighed in with a lengthy statement that was released Monday, shortly after Monmouth announced it will close and push back the start of its racing meet due to coronavirus concerns. Cont. p14 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 14 OF 20 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • MARCH 17, 2020

The statement reads in part, AFirst and foremost, Monmouth Park and Darby Development, as well as I personally, condemn the use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) or any drugs which are illegal to be used in our industry. I remained silent last week in the aftermath of the news of the indictment because I wanted to give our regulators, the New Jersey Racing Commission (NJRC), and the Attorney General=s Office an opportunity to address the indictment, and, as expected, the NJRC suspended the licenses of seven of the indicted individuals who were licensed in New Jersey. Jorge Navarro did not have a 2020 license otherwise his license would have been suspended also according to the NJRC.

Dennis Drazin | Patty Wolfe AThe NJRC has diligently tested for drugs for many years and utilized respected reputable labs to do so. I am a former Chairman of the NJRC and can assure you that our regulators take their jobs seriously and endeavor to catch all cheaters. ARegarding the indictments, if proven, they threaten the very integrity of our sport and must be seriously addressed. We can have no tolerance for those who cheat or try to take an illegal edge. I am calling upon our New Jersey legislature to enact a more comprehensive form of sweeping reforms than currently has been stalled in Washington, otherwise known as the Horseracing Integrity Act (HIA). I have already started the process of asking the State of New Jersey to pass legislation, which in addition to the worthwhile reforms contained in the HIA, will include more widespread reforms including, but not limited to: racetrack safety and integrity; racetrack surface safety inspections; increased examination of horses who intend to race or train at our racetracks; jockey health and safety; changes in the whip rule; post-racing aftercare for horses; uniformity in medication rules and penalties; sharing of all veterinary reports amongst interested parties; and, many other needed reforms.

SELECTA A SUCCESS IN TOUGH TIMES FOR THE WEEK ENDING MARCH 15, 2020 by Kelsey Riley NORTH AMERICAN-BASED STALLIONS The second renewal of Argentina=s Gran Venta Selecta yearling sale at the San Isidro racecourse sales pavilion on Sunday provided a bright patch during a difficult time for the racing industry and beyond, with co-proprietor Pablo Zavaleta admitting even he was bowled over by the robustness of trade. Zavaleta, owner of Haras Vacacion, and Julio Menditeguy of Haras Abolengo staged the first Gran Venta Selecta last March. Each committed their best yearlings to the sale with hopes of someday building it into an event for the international bloodstock calendar. They appear to be another step closer to that goal.
