The upper floors will be closed, however, to ensure safety with COVID-19 but the outside grandstands will be open for the public.

“Of course [COVID-19] has been a big effect, we were supposed to race in May and it didn’t happen but if you look at it globally, the Kentucky Derby didn’t happen.” Says Rockey Mountain Turf Club’s Rose Rossi.
