Jockey Javier Castellano, who last rode March 15 at Gulfstream Park in Florida and had multiple rides lined up at the track beginning Thursday through the Florida Derby, has tested positive for coronavirus, according to his agent, John Panagot, and his father-in-law, Terry Meyocks. Castellano was confirmed positive for the virus Thursday morning, Panagot said, but he is so far “asymptomatic and feels fine and healthy.” He is currently in isolation at his mother’s house in Florida and is attempting to get guidance on what he needs to do to protect himself and his family.  “Sure, he’s bummed out because he had a lot of business this weekend, but he’s looking at the big picture right now,” Panagot said. “He’s worried about his mother, and he just wants to do what is best.” In a statement posted on Twitter, Castellano confirmed that he has tested positive and said he will “follow doctors [sic] orders to self-quarantine for the next 2 weeks.” He added that he has had “no known contact with anyone that has tested positive.” Gulfstream Park said in a statement that Castellano arrived in Florida on Sunday from New York, where he lives, and was required to undergo a physical and a test for the virus prior to being allowed on the grounds. The statement said that the track plans to continue racing. “All jockeys riding locally must go to first aid on a daily basis to get their temperature taken and a check-up before entering the jocks’ room,” the statement said. “The track has worked in conjunction with the Jockeys’ Guild to set these parameters. If it weren’t for Gulfstream Park requiring Castellano to get a physical he probably would never have been tested at all.” In an additional statement released later on Thursday, Gulfstream said that Castellano will not be able to ride at the track until “his mandatory 14-day quarantine is complete and he has received a clean bill of health from his medical practitioner. We wish him a speedy and complete recovery.” Panagot confirmed Gulfstream’s account of the testing and procedures. Castellano took an airplane from New York to Florida, Panagot said. Meyocks, president of The Jockeys’ Guild and Castellano’s father-in-law, said that Castellano had never gone on to Gulfstream’s grounds since arriving Sunday night and that he did not exercise any horses while in Florida. Fittingly, it was The Jockeys’ Guild that had recommended the protocols that all jockeys traveling from other jurisdictions be tested for the virus prior to being allowed to ride at tracks. “What Gulfstream did worked,” Meyocks said. Meyocks said that Castellano’s wife, Abby, and their children have been in self-quarantine for two weeks, and that none have symptoms of the virus. “They’re fine right now,” Meyocks said. Castellano was named on several mounts for Thursday’s card at Gulfstream, and he was scheduled to ride throughout the Florida Derby card on Saturday. His mount in the Derby was Candy Tycoon, trained by Todd Pletcher. One day prior to riding at Gulfstream, Castellano rode at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas. On that day, the track was visited by New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. Payton later announced that he had tested positive for coronavirus. On Thursday, he told a radio show that he was cleared and “doing well” but was continuing to self-isolate. - additional reporting by Mike Welsch
