Best of luck to all. Martin

Thanks for the update on racing and, more importantly, GeeGeez. Hopefully, resumption will be soon, not just for we racing zealots but for people like you who enhance our experience of the sport and depend on it to live and support families. There are so many people dependent on the sport for a living, from trainers, jockeys, valets, jockey drivers, stable lads/girls, farriers and many others I’ve not even thought of, though hopefully horses are still well cared for. Many may have the benefit of “furloughing” but I would surmise that many do not and are struggling.

So many depend on the sport/”industry” that the sooner it returns the better, as long as there is no deleterious effect on those struggling with this horrible virus and, hopefully, a return to racing will coincide with an easing of the suffering from this virus

Best wishes and onwards and upwards,

Rob Stevens

Thanks taggyboy.

Mid-May is the best case: as I understand it, a resumption on that date would need Government to ease lockdown rules on 5th May and, further, would need for lobbying to take place to agree to the restart. So a lot would have to align for 15th May. Let’s hope it does. Those daily deaths need to come down a LOT in the next week if that’s to happen, I fear.
