Quarantine of Barn 28 at Belmont Park lifted

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today announced that the 14-day quarantine of Barn 28 at Belmont Park has been lifted by the New York State Department of Agriculture.

As a result, all horses stabled in Barn 28 are once again permitted to enter races as of today, Saturday, June 28, and to train with the general horse population beginning Sunday.

Barn 28 was placed under quarantine on June 14 following the identification of a case of strangles within that barn. The 2-year-old gelding [Mo Curls] trained by George Weaver was referred for treatment on June 13 and returned a positive test for strangles on June 14.
