The Maryland Jockey Club (MJC) has set protocols for all jockeys who rode during the abbreviated meet at Colonial Downs.

With Shamrock Farm likely to run well over budget and facing a daunting environmental challenge, the Maryland Stadium Authority turned to Laurel.
The same protocols are in place for all dormitory residents who were at Colonial Downs.
Colonial Downs announced Friday that it would cancel the remainder of its 2020 meet after several jockeys and other personnel, including leading rider Trevor McCarthy, tested positive for Covid-19.
Several jockeys who ride regularly at Laurel rode at Colonial before the meet was canceled, including Trevor McCarthy, Forest Boyce, Jorge Ruiz and Avery Whisman.
