Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. tested positive for COVID-19. He has not ridden since Sept. 16 as he is serving a suspension. He was scheduled to return Sunday which will not happen. He needs to self isolate for 10 days; hope is he can return Oct. 8, per agent Steve Rushing

Having had both
@iradortiz
and
@jose93_ortiz
riding on our horses and watching them, they are true gentleman and a class act. Hurry back Irad and forget about some of these comments.

First off, I hope he and his family are OK. But I believe this suspension is from before Saratoga. The fact that he could postpone his suspension is ludicrous. If I were a steward he would have a couple suspensions a week
