Trainers haven't been gallivanting around the country. They send stakes horses to venues and local trainers handle them. For instance, Pat Kelly took care of No Parole for Tom Amoss at Belmont. Kent Sweezey took care of Shippy for George Weaver the other day at MTH.

Umberto Rispoli the latest rider to test positive for Covid. He also rode the weekend of the 4th at Los Al. To his credit he has not been bouncing to different tracks though. Rumors circulating that Del Mar is canceling for at least the weekend if not longer.

Figures that the riders, who display a lack of brains daily on the track, were so careless. Hopefully they all recover and racing isn’t stopped for too long because many tracks were able to figure out how to avoid this kind of outbreak for months.

Let’s hope not. Agapito Delgadillo is 54, his daughter confirmed today he has it. Even though most are young the virus is having long term impacts on people that we might not know for many years.

Just an incredibly irresponsible weekend at Los Al and I still can’t understand how this happened.
