    Ruidoso Downs, N.M. -

    A racehorse at Ruidoso Downs Race Track tested positive for the Equine Herpes Virus Friday.

    Officials at the race track say the horse was euthanized and its remains were disposed of off the track.

    The New Mexico Livestock Board and the New Mexico Racing Commission are now working with officials at Ruidoso Downs Race Track to ensure no other horses are affected.

    The barn where the horse was located at the race track is under quarantine ? no horses in, no horses out. An adjoining barn is under quarantine, pending test results. In addition to the barn quarantine, human foot traffic to and from that barn is being strongly discouraged...
