Hi, Matt here,
You may have heard that racing is to go behind closed doors from today, Tuesday. It's my best guess that very soon after, there will be a pause in the sport with no racing taking place.
Clearly, given what is going on everywhere else - not just in other sports, or more widely in Britain and Ireland, but right across the globe - this is the right thing to do, as societies, even whole countries, are being asked to give up their liberty for a short time for the benefit of their fellow citizens.
If the above sounds dramatic, you do not live in London and/or may not have seen the footage from Italy, Spain, etc and/or think this won't happen here.
These are extraordinary times and we all have a part to play.
Regarding geegeez.co.uk, everyone who works with me is a UK-based home worker, so it will be largely business as usual. That said, I do expect racing to stop quite soon for an indeterminate amount of time. [You may have already heard that the Grand National meeting has been cancelled].
I will keep you up to date with plans as we go forward. For now though, take care of yourselves, and of those around you: we are not yet in the difficult time, but it is coming and it won't be fun.
Matt Bisogno
