Louisiana Downs and Delta Downs have banned any horses shipping from Remington Park due to an EHV-1 outbreak there. Louisana Downs–which is not currently racing, but is open as a training center–has also banned horses from Will Rogers Downs.
“In order to protect our current horse population, we felt it was necessary to issue this policy,” said Eric Halstrom, Harrah's Louisiana Downs Vice President of Operations. “Should horsemen have any question regarding this change in policy those inquiries should be directed to Louisiana Downs' Director of Racing, David Heitzmann, or Stall Superintendent, Natalie Ardoin.”
