Source: Kentucky Department of Agriculture

The tests by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture for EHV-1 in horses quarantined in barn 14 at Turfway Park have been reported negative. In addition to the testing that has been completed, it has been greater than 14 days since the population was last exposed to a clinical case. Horses in the barn are under no further restrictions and may resume to training with the general population. With the release of this barn, there are no barns under restriction or quarantine at Turfway Park Race Course in Florence KY. Horses that had previously tested positive do remain under regulatory monitoring and are in quarantine off site. Racing at Turfway continues uninterrupted. The protocol regarding stabling of horses shipping in to race is unchanged at this point in time. All horses entering the stabling area are required to present valid certificates (EIA and Health Certificate) and the Health Certificate must include statements that demonstrate a valid EHV1 vaccination history.
