The New York Racing Association announced June 13 that the 14-day quarantine of Barn 85 at Saratoga Race Course has been lifted by the New York State Department of Agriculture.
As a result, all horses stabled in Barn 85 are again permitted to enter races and train with the general horse population.
Barn 85 was placed under a precautionary quarantine May 30 following the identification of a case of strangles within that barn. The 2-year-old Tranquil Sea, trained by Jeremiah Englehart, returned a positive test for strangles May 30 after developing breathing issues. The colt began treatment immediately at a private farm where he remains.
No additional positive cases of strangles were identified during the quarantine period.
