Buddy Burke jogs Meet Me at the Dance, a 4-year-old Standardbred, at the Oxford Fairgrounds in Oxford on Wednesday morning during a training session. He uses a special bridle to help keep him reined in. “He’s too big and I’m too old to be playing around,” Burke said before heading out for a training run. Burke does not drive but the horse would be racing this week if it were not for the coronavirus shutting down all the racetracks. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
