A state-imposed quarantine on most horses stabled at Florida’s Payson Park Training Center was lifted Friday, Jan. 5, as the recent outbreak of equine herpesvirus-1 continued to abate.
Mary Scollay, DVM, track veterinarian for Gulfstream Park and Calder Racecourse, said Jan. 7 that only about 40-60 horses among the approximately 500 horses stabled at Payson Park remained under EHV-1 restrictions.
