MIAMI - Officials at Calder Race Course placed restrictions on a fourth barn on Thursday after a horse from the stable of Henry Suckie exhibited symptoms of a possible neurological disorder earlier that day.
On Monday, Calder placed a quarantine on the barn area and put restrictions on three of its barns when a horse from the stable of leading trainer Bill White tested positive for the equine herpesvirus. That horse was subsequently euthanized.
Track veterinarian Michelle Jobert said the Suckie horse was not walking properly, but it had no fever and was up to date on all vaccinations.
"Naturally we are taking every precaution possible under the circumstance, so we have quarantined Barn 78 until test samples from the sick horse, which were shipped to the University of Kentucky in Lexington today, can be examined," Jobert said Thursday.
Jobert said results from those tests are expected back on Saturday.
