Yesterday it was announced that the 2020 Ocala Jockey Club International 3-Day Event would be unfortunately cancelled and while we’re certainly bummed, we applaud the organizers for truly looking at every angle of the situation. A few of us have mentioned that this one of the the most well-written and informative press releases for an event cancellation yet we’ve read yet and we encourage you to read it if you haven’t already. It really makes you think about all the moving pieces that go in to planning and putting on an event. My appreciation and admiration for event organizers was through the roof already, but this has somehow made me appreciate them even more!
