Sunland Park Racetrack and the New Mexico Livestock Board continue to make progress in the fight against EHV-1. The Livestock Board has tentatively set Wednesday, Mar. 9, as the date which Sunland Park will no longer be under quarantine. If final approval is granted, Sunland Park will open its barn area to outside horses and allow horses currently stabled on site to travel offsite. “It has been a tough few weeks and I want to thank everyone for their hard work and understanding,” Sunland Park General Manager Rick Baugh said. “This virus is very serious and all our focus and resources have been dedicated to reducing its impact. I'd like to thank all parties involved for their help.” The GIII Sunland Derby is scheduled for Mar. 20.
