Keep your distance: jockeys getting used to racing in enclosed environment

Restrictions, restrictions, restrictions. But nobody is complaining.

The strict new protocols introduced after the board of Horse Racing Ireland met last week were aimed at establishing who could attend a race meeting and what they could do once inside the premises on a raceday.

The observation of social distancing measures are of paramount importance, the request to keep a sufficient distance is repeated constantly over the PA, and the significant amount of space available at a racecourse makes that achievable.
