On Saturday (March 14) the Standardbred Owners Association of New York issued a statement on the status of its President Joe Faraldo, who had been in close proximity to the now-deceased John Brennan.

"We were notified today that SOA President Joseph Faraldo has been tested and confirmed to be NEGATIVE for COVID-19 (Coronavirus)," said the association. "He is currently at home recovering from an illness that has now been confirmed to be unrelated to COVID-19. We all wish him a speedy recovery."
