Taking care of animals including thoroughbred horses is an "essential service" by definition. Not mine -- theirs. Makes no sense whatsoever to be required to care for the horses -- feed, bathe, workout, check on any ailments -- and then not race in the afternoon with only a handful of necessary people in the afternoon. Optics is the only reason.
