The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on Wednesday canceled its racing program this weekend after 15 jockeys and seven other workers tested positive for COVID-19.
Fourteen of the 15 jockeys were from a group of Del Mar jockeys who raced over the July 4 weekend at Los Alamitos – raising to 19 the total number of positive COVID-19 tests among jockeys who competed at the Orange County track.
Plus, all seven of the non-riding personnel, who work in the jockeys’ room at the track, were at Los Alamitos the week before Del Mar opened.
“The good news is that all our jockeys and personnel who tested positive are showing no symptoms,” said Del Mar COO Josh Rubinstein. “If they are asymptomatic, they will be eligible to ride after 10 days.”

As they spread it around to others
That’s the fear mongering the media and Dem pols are pushing. BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TESTING POSITIVE FOR THE ANTIBODIES AND ACTUALLY COMING DOWN WITH THE DISEASE. And yes, I wanted to do the online version of shouting the truth.
Seems they tested positive for active virus, not antibodies, hence the 10 days before they can return.
Apparently a virus often leaves bit of “debris” even after the patient has built up antibodies and rejected the disease, and the new tests are so sensitive they pick this up and it’s interpreted as an active case. In reality, it’s over, there’s no possibility of infection.
This is the same remains for the supposed “second round” cases...they were just people who were retested and some little snippets of viral material made it appear as a positive for an active case.
Or it could be one of the many labs who crank out 100% positives and discard negatives. Texas and Florida are experienced in this new math method of “counting”.
Yeah....that’s it! The “New Math,” Covid version. LOL!
