NEW ORLEANS (January 2, 2017) – Test results have been returned for the two horses who spiked temperatures earlier this morning at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots.

The horse in Barn 14, trained by Tom Amoss, returned a negative result. The horse in the receiving barn, trained by Chris Davis, returned a positive result for the “wild strain.”

As a result, the quarantine timeline on Barn 14 remains unchanged, with a current end date of Jan. 13 at the discretion of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture. The receiving barn is now under quarantine until Jan. 16 at the discretion of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture.

FAIR GROUNDS CANCELS FINAL TWO RACES ON MONDAY CARD DUE TO WEATHER

Due to severe storms producing dangerous conditions in the New Orleans area, in the interest of safety the final two races on the Monday card at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots have been canceled.

“The safety of our jockeys and horses will always be our top priority,” said Senior Director of Racing Jason Boulet. “In the interest of safety for all of our participants, we have canceled the remainder of the Monday racing program.”

Racing is scheduled to resume Thursday with a nine-race program. First post is 1:25 p.m.
