Stable Area Opening May 1st
While opening day for our 2020 racing season is still to be determined, we are preparing for the stable area to officially open MAY 1st. The S.T.H.H.A Board of Directors has committed to Jeff Gural that the health and safety of our backstretch occupants will be strictly enforced by implementing the following:
Until further notice, the stable gate will remain closed. All traffic will enter and exit the stable area via the Main Entrance. There will be a Tioga Downs Security checkpoint where entering individuals will be asked to present a valid 2020 New York Racing License. At this time entrance will be restricted to licensed Trainers, Grooms,Veterinarians, and Vendors. Owners will NOT be permitted at this time. If you have not been relicensed for 2020, present your expired license BUT APPLY IMMEDIATELY FOR YOUR 2020 LICENSE BY
MAILING YOUR LICENSE APPLICATION TO THE NY GAMING COMMISSION, LICENSING UNIT. License applications should be sent CERTIFIED MAIL so you have a receipt to confirm you have applied. First time applicants will NOT be permitted until further notice.
Temperature checks will be MANDATORY on a daily basis until further notice.These will be conducted at the security checkpoint using a non-contact, FDA approved infrared thermometer. Any individual with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will be DENIED admission that day.
Masks or protective mouth and nose coverings are REQUIRED at the following points in the backstretch:
loading and unloading horses at the Equisizor
Stable laundromat when in use by more than one individual.
The use of masks or protective mouth and nose coverings INSIDE your barn will be determined by the barn occupants who have been assigned stalls in that barn. We encourage everyone to follow NY State’s guideline for mask use in congested areas.
Interacting and socializing should be conducted OUTSIDE your barn using social distancing. We ask for your cooperation in encouraging people to stay out of your barn if they do not typically work there.
The S.T.H.H.A. Board of Directors will modify the protocol as need be until Tioga Downs management and the State of New York determines we are able to return to some level of normalcy. We ask for everyone’s cooperation and compliance in keeping our stable area open.
Once you have made shipping arrangements, please call GUY HOWARD at 607-765-7168 to confirm arrival date and the number of horses being shipped to Tioga Downs.
