ORC Addresses Saratoga Strangles

Due to an outbreak of strangles at Saratoga Raceway, the Ontario Racing Commission advises Ontario tracks to use caution when considering entries of horses showing Saratoga lines in March.

“It is up to the discretion of the racetrack. However, I strongly recommend race secretaries not accept entries from horses that have raced at that track in the past month,” said ORC Veterinarian Supervisor Dr. Bruce Duncan.
