It looks pretty probable the Derby gets postponed. Are you hearing anything Steve on what may be done?

We’ll know more this week. June 27/July 4 Derby seems like the target.

Still early days and surely more important issues on the table nationally, but just for a diversion, consider the implications.

If the Kentucky Derby was a July 4th celebration, is there still a Triple Crown this year?

If the Preakness was still in the sequence of a Triple Crown for late July, this means one of several options for the Belmont. We could see the Belmont at Belmont in September. We could see the Belmont later in August at Saratoga (what happens to the Travers?). We could see the Belmont not run at all.

All depends on NBC. After what I heard today, would revise date range later towards fall.
