*** Reminder*** Per Dr. Alex Lightbown, horses have to be in the paddock TWO (2) Hours before your race post time. Dr. Lightbown wrote; "On Monday, I will personally remind the horsemen in the 1st and 2nd races that there will be others coming into the paddock stalls after they race. This is something they have done at Plainridge for years, so I’m sure they will be able to adjust accordingly. I will also remind those coming in after them".
