Training Resumes at Churchill

Horses stabled in a second Churchill Downs barn placed under quarantine by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture because of confirmed cases of equine herpes virus at the track will be allowed to return to limited training on May 23.
Horses in barn 38, all of which are trained by Steve Asmussen, are the latest to meet the requirements developed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture for a return to training apart from the track’s general horse population.
The Asmussen-trained horses will participate in separate training sessions that already include horses from barn 39. Those horses, which are trained by Paul J. McGee, Bill Cesare and Ron Ellis, were allowed to return to separate training on Saturday.
The horses in both barns remain in quarantine and are not permitted to mix with the rest of the horse population at Churchill Downs
