NEW ORLEANS — Two connected barns at New Orleans Race Course were quarantined Friday because a 3-year-old filly tested positive for equine herpes.
It may take 10 days to clear other horses trained by Dallas Stewart, who trains the filly, and Neil Howard, said Dr. Tom David, the equine medical director of the Louisiana State Racing Commission.
Stewart has 44 horses and Howard has 27, track spokesman Lenny Vangilder said. Nasal swabs were taken Friday to test all 71, he said. Howard said the horses in his stable all look fine.
