\n Two months after testing positive for COVID-19, Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano came out on top as the biggest winner Wednesday at Belmont Park\u2019s opening day.<\/p>\n

Riding on Rushing Fall, Castellano won the $100,000 Grade 3 Beaugay Stakes, going wire-to-wire in the 1 1\/16 mile turf race.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo happ<\/a>y to be here,\u201d the 42-year-old Castellano said. \u201cIt\u2019s a roller coaster. I\u2019ve been through a little pretty rough time lately, the last couple months, with the virus, everything quarantine. It was pretty rough. Thank God we hung [in there]. I\u2019m here, and I\u2019m looking forward big-time for this summer and moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a March 24 test at Gulfstream Park in Florida, Castellano tested positive for coronavirus despite not feeling any of the symptoms. He quarantined in Florida before getting cleared to race at Oaklawn Park and Churchill Downs in May. All of his COVID-19 tests since have come back negative, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank God, very healthy,\u201d Castellano said. \u201cI\u2019ve been in good shape all the time. \u2026 Even when I had COVID-19, thank God I didn\u2019t have any symptoms. I was asymptomatic. I\u2019ve been trying to maintain a light weight and keep training, little by little. I feel good, feel great. I\u2019m being tested everywhere I go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Castellano said he has tested positive for antibodies, but not knowing for sure whether that gives him immunity, he is keeping careful and following all safety precautions.<\/p>\n

The main jockeys\u2019 rooms at Belmont has been restricted to stations for 12 jockeys while the rest are spread out in other areas to allow for social<\/a> distancing. All jockeys and valets had to provide a recent negative COVID-19 test or positive antibody test, though Castellano indicated there were some valets who were barred because they did not get test results back in time.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a [few] issues we need to address,\u201d Castellano said. \u201cWe need to be very cautious. \u2026 Hopefully everything comes out good.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
