Ritvo (Stronach COO) says today they opened the training first (today) for galloping and jogging and they will monitor how that goes for a few days. They then plan to open the main track for galloping and jogging when Dennis Moore (track maintenance supervisor) gives his OK and monitor how that goes for a few days. Ritvo is hopeful they will be again open for racing before March 28.
