Timing in an epidemic isn’t arbitrary. Cheltenham happened going into an epidemic. We had only a vague idea of whether the health system would collapse.
Everyone at Cheltenham was freezing cold, damp, day after day on the lash, many staying in packed local accommodation, many flying or travelling by busy train or coach, standing shoulder to shoulder often with strangers.
Just like no-one caught it at the Cheltenham races either.
