With all of the concerns about the coronavirus, we are hearing about more and more cancellations and postponements. Yesterday it was Turf Paradise, Sunland Park, Parx and Laurel. Today it was the Keeneland meeting. Tomorrow morning there will be a press conference about the timing of the Kentucky Derby, with the expectation that it will be rescheduled for early September.
All of that suggests that we may have difficulty continuing our weekly contests much longer. I wanted to take a moment and say that if that happens I would hope that all of our small group of handicappers will still keep visiting this site to post comments, let everyone know how you are coping, share stories or if necessary, just to howl at the moon.
Things may get very difficult, but even with social distancing we are still all in this together, and with any luck we can all get through this together.
