Title: Changes at Miami Valley
Post by: dinkadoo on March 18, 2020, 07:26:48 AM: Notice for Miami Valley Racing.

By Government Order, no more than 50 people in the paddock, at all times. No non-essential personnel in the paddock at any time. One "handler" whether that be the trainer, groom, or driver per horse maximum. No warm-up drivers only permitted in the paddock. On a trial basis, we will be racing "fair style" with three races permitted in the paddock at one time. After every third race, there will be a 20 minute break for warm-ups for later races. After a horse races, personnel must vacate within 30 minutes.
