Racing at Prairie Meadows
Prairie Meadows is updating its jockey policies. The new policy goes into effect July 17 at 6:00 p.m. CT.
The following restrictions will be implemented:
No new jockeys will be allowed into the current jockey colony at Prairie Meadows. Anyone in the current jockey colony that accepts a mount at another track must self-quarantine for a 14-day period. The quarantine period will start the day following the jockey's most recent mount outside of Prairie Meadows. Once the self-quarantine period is over, the jockey must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 5 days to be allowed to ride again at Prairie Meadows. This protocol is in effect until further notice.
