Three horses stabled at Turfway Park have been diagnosed with neurologic equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1). Verification of the virus was completed over the weekend at the northern Kentucky track by researchers at the Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center at the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

All three horses have responded favorably to treatment. Two of the horses were diagnosed with neurologic signs while one was not. Each of the Thoroughbreds were located in the same barn under the care of the same trainer. At the direction of the state veterinarian, all horses occupying stalls in the barn will be quarantined until the risk of viral infection has passed
