SARATOGA EHV Quarantine – KY Update and Position on 7/20/2021

With horses in Barn 86 at the Saratoga Racetrack remaining under quarantine for EHV-1, segregated from the general population, and being closely monitored for evidence of illness; horses residing in other barns at Saratoga can qualify and be permitted entry onto KY tracks and training facilities by fully meeting established entry requirements that include a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) certifying examination and issuance of the certificate was made during the 72 hour period preceding the horses arrival at the KY track/facility and includes certification of the horse meeting our established EHV1 vaccination requirement as well as EIA testing. Additionally, the KY state veterinarian encourages KY tracks to have horses shipping  from Saratoga onto the grounds be scheduled with the stable manager and that the arrival and stabling information be shared with the track’s Equine Medical Director or designee.
