Obviously, social distancing seems to be working in Arkansas. It seems to be slowing the number of new cases of the virus. About 1400 positives being reported in the state and about 30 deaths. Garland County where Oaklawn is located has about 100 positives and 0 deaths.
I apologize for doing a bit of a rant about people in the paddock at Oaklawn not wearing masks, but to me it just seemed so dumb for jockeys and the gate crew and outriders to have masks on and none of the people in the paddock having them where people were in such close contact. Anyway, hopefully, Oaklawn will not close down between now and next weekend should that be the destination that Miz Ruffian chooses.
