Sonia Brown’s husband died on June 10. Two weeks later, the 65-year-old registered nurse was back at work. Her husband’s medical bills and a car payment loomed over her head. “She wanted to make sure all those things were taken care of before she retired,” her son David said.

She just powered through everything,” David said. But her invincibility couldn’t withstand COVID-19, and on July 29 she died after contracting the deadly virus. Sonia’s death is far from unusual. Despite evidence from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that adults 65 and older are at a higher risk f

He had moved up to second under Joel Rosario by the time the field hit the stretch, then outfinished Laccario and jockey Manny Franco by a half-length in a stakes-record time of 2:26.31 – just .12 of a second shy of the course record (Talismanic, 2017 Breeders’ Cup Turf).
