Quarantine lifted at New Mexico track after virus outbreak (The Associated Press)
Racehorses can come and go at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino now that New Mexico livestock officials lifted a quarantine Wednesday that had been in place for weeks due to an equine herpes outbreak that infected dozens of horses. The New Mexico Livestock Board said the quarantine was lifted since no new cases of the fast-spreading virus were reported in the past 14 days. The Livestock Board was distributing reference sheets in both English and Spanish to workers at the track along the Texas-New Mexico border.
