Gulfstream Park won’t shut down, threatens legal action
South Florida Sun Sentinel ^ | Mar 24, 2020 | Adam Lichtenstein

Gulfstream Park plans to continue racing Wednesday and hold Saturday’s Florida Derby as scheduled, despite Broward County’s ban on nonessential business and the city of Hallandale Beach asking the horse racing track to shut down and postpone the Derby, Hallandale Beach Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana told the Sun Sentinel on Tuesday.

Despite the novel coronavirus pandemic, Javellana said the track has threatened legal action against the city if it tried to prevent racing.

I'm not a fan of Gulfstream Park, but I'm glad to see that someone, anyone, is challenging at least one of these government orders.

All other sports venues are shut down, mostly voluntarily.

Unless we start fighting back the media/dem party will win this charade. Stop this shutdown of the entire country now.

I’m amazed we have yet to see a hero emerge against this hoax.

We are proving how easy it is to destroy freedom. And in the one country it should be the most revered. Disgrace.

This isn’t a charade. It’s been very carefully planned. Btw, what comes next might be armed conflict between the administration and left wing states. This whole thing is an extension of the coup plot.

We have to keep the tracks open. I’ve got to win back the money I’ve lost trying to make my IRA whole again. Are Kentucky Derby futures bets still valid?

I guess they are, for the Fake Derby in September (which is really going to screw up the racing calendar! E.g. The Travers is scheduled for the week before.)

How is this Chat?

Mayors, Governors, &c. are giving orders as if they were Mussolini; and someone is finally standing up to one of them. This isn't News?

We aren't destroying freedom. What you are asking for is to throw away RESPONSIBILITY in the name of FREEDOM.

I AM FREE to do any damn thing I want. HOWEVER, I am responsible for the consequences of my actions. Therefore, I do my best to use some common sense during this 'crisis'. If limiting my activities will help reduce the spread of a disease, then I will do so.

Besides that, I am enjoying the reduced traffic, gasoline is $1.79/gal, and the time to catch up on my own projects. Rarely does the whole world slow down. Most of the time it rushes on by us. Maybe our focus should be on making the best use of the time given to us by this situation. Get to know your children better. Learn a new craft. Clean out that closet you never get to. Count your blessings and Thank God. That is all he ever asked for, is for us to thank him. And most skip that part and just complain about things that won't matter in a few months.

I’m making lemonade out of this lemon.

Small stuff but good to me.

My wife is on an emotional roller coaster.

I’ve saved a few bucks and miles working from home.

At least the powder coating crowd is still oprn. They have a pile of metal of mine.
