MJC further refines COVID-19 quarantine policy
The Maryland Jockey Club has further expanded its quarantine policy for riders and others as a result of cancellation of the remainder of this year’s Colonial Downs meet because of COVID-19 positives.
Jockeys who rode races at the Virginia track and all dormitory residents of Colonial Downs during this time are prohibited from the grounds of all MJC facilities until Aug. 27 and must produce a negative COVID-19 test obtained and resulted within 72 hours of that date to be granted access.
Furthermore, all other backstretch personnel including horsemen, veterinarians, blacksmiths and others who worked at Colonial Downs during its meet will be prohibited from the grounds of all MJC facilities until Aug. 27 as well.
