Quarantine of Barn 85 at Saratoga Race Course lifted

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today announced that the 14-day quarantine of Barn 85 at Saratoga Race Course has been lifted by the New York State Department of Agriculture.

As a result, all horses stabled in Barn 85 are once again permitted to enter races and train with the general horse population.

Barn 85 was placed under a precautionary quarantine on May 30 following the identification of a case of strangles within that barn. The 2-year-old [Tranquil Sea] trained by Jeremiah Englehart returned a positive test for strangles on May 30 after developing breathing issues. The colt began treatment immediately at a private farm where he remains.

No additional positive cases of strangles were identified during the quarantine period.
