Barn 4, housing horses trained by Chris Englehart and John Tebbutt, at Finger Lakes Race track is under quarantine following a confirmed case of EHV-1 in an Englehart horse . On November 17, a horse from Engleharts's home farm tested positive for EHV-1, a necropsy was performed at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.
The stricken horse was last on Finger Lakes' property for a published work on November 8. After the work, she returned to Englehart's farm, where she showed clinical signs of EHV-1 on November 17 and was shipped to Cornell.
On Saturday, November 20 a state veterinarian was on site at Finger Lakes. Later that day a general meeting was held to notify all trainers of the situation.
Currently, only Barn 4 at Finger Lakes is under the 21 day quarantine. Englehart's farm is under a 21 day quarantine also. Trainer John Tebbutt's shares space in Barn 4 with Englehart, so his horses are also under quarantine. None of Tebbutt's horses are implicated in the outbreak.
