the irish flat season starts on monday,

Hopefully they can still race by then

Absolutely hate to be negative,but surely it’s only a matter of time before a jockey gets sick ? You only have to look at their proximity to one another at the start of races.

Not belong before its shut down completely

the fact that you can carry the virus without having any symptoms shows that it's not as dangerous a virus as people are making it out to be. jockeys are fit people and probably in the least susceptible group of people. it's a virus killing mainly old people. press and governments have over-reacted to it. it will all be over within a month. they almost have a vaccine which defeats it

Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan has revealed he has tested positive for coronavirus.

According to a post from the Tony Award-winning musician’s Instagram account, he has “been sick for a week” but says that he is “feeling better each day”.

He did not say whether he knew how he had contracted the virus, but has been in self-isolation for a week.

“I just got my results back today and tested positive for coronavirus,” he wrote. “I’ve been sick for a week and feeling better each day. Please don’t be afraid!!! It’s the flu not the plague.”

natures way of killing off the old,sick and weak im afraid,natural selection in practice,survival of the fittest.

Betting masta, watch the coverage from Italy if you don't think its dangerous.
Effecting more younger people by the day.

how many young people have died? just because you catch something doesn't mean it's going to kill you

^^this is true. government and media has overreacted because a) the media loves to do it and have something to talk about. b) governments do not want to be held liable for the deaths of people. we have all been lied to about the severity of this virus. the death rate is not as high as is being reported. look outside, the sun is still shining, birds are still flying. a month from now we won't be talking about this anymore

koi,any thoughts on the Maiden Hunter,4.10,my idea of a laybet,as long as there is no on course betting support.

On The Sod.

I think that will win!

I would think, if racing can continue in Ireland, that an awful lot of 2 year olds, particularly those that were earmarked for the breeze up sales, will be moved from the UK to Irish stables in the coming weeks.

Tangle, I can tell you now, there will be no on course betting support for it.
But there could be support  for it just the same

ireland will be shut down at some point but as they were days or weeks behind us they were right to varry on as long as possible for everyone involved.
i would imagine Koi is a pensioner and thus his economic life will be unaffected..alright for some

i'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but you cannot fault the irish turf club for at least trying to keep racing going.

our lot at the BHA just seemed to throw the towel in before the fight started.

Isleham, why would you think that?

you can tell the way people post...am i right or wrong??

Wrong, alot on here will tell you that!

the medics will soon be needed elsewhere whatever your opinion

I see it as non essential travel also and lunacy tbh

Excellent card at Naas tomorrow.Fingers crossed.

Separate ambulance force for sporting events in Ireland at the moment most are parked up doing nothing due to lack of events taking place.

I dont read newspapers or watch the news or read any shyte on my phone . I have done neither for over 10 years . I know nothing what is happening and i would rather keep it that way .

zealot arrested after 6pm next week walking dog

pleads I didn't know there was a virus , honest officer

I've always perfered the Flat to the Jumps.

Sir Dragonet,and that is your first Cert of the Flat Season.

I'm glad the coolmore lads didn't want their horse to win the 1st. I did the favourite but was lucky really.
