Racing Cancelled at Laurel Park

At 1h00, on March 27, 2021 • By LAUREL PARK

The Maryland Jockey Club was informed by Maryland State Veterinarian Dr. Michael Odian, that a horse at Pimlico has tested positive for the Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1).  The horse had been isolated for 72 hours prior to the positive test.

As a result of the positive test, and as a proactive measure to protect the horse population in the state of Maryland, horses currently stabled at Pimlico will not be allowed to ship to Laurel until a full quarantine is lifted at both properties. Previously, the two properties had been quarantined as one facility.  They will now be treated as two separate quarantine zones.

In consultation with Dr Michael Odian and the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, the suspension of live racing at Laurel Park has been extended through April 4.
