We want our IdaBet players to know that Sunland Park’s racing has been suspended for 14 days by racetrack officials, the New Mexico Racing Commission, and the New Mexico Livestock Board after they learned a fifth horse tested positive for the neurologic strain of the equine herpesvirus (EHV-1).

Rick Baugh, General Manager of Sunland, said in a release issued late Friday,“In the interest of equine safety, Sunland Park Racetrack is postponing racing for an initial period of 14 days.”  “I’d like to thank all the agencies involved, as well as our horsemen, for their cooperation and support as we take a proactive approach to protect our horses and make a quick return to live racing.”

The 14 day suspension is subject to reset every time a positive case is confirmed.

Everyone here at IdaBet.com sends well wishes to all the connections at Sunland Park, the owners & trainers, and those equine athletes affected in this outbreak.

Listed below are Turfway’s Picks for Sunday, January 24th by Bret Battaglia.

Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for choosing IdaBet.com!

Race 1

BOOM DE YA DA comes in off a nice win against similar over the track here at Turfway and rates a slight edge against a wide-open field. RENN LAKE was second last time out and has the speed to be dangerous today. SIVA was beaten as the favorite last time out, but shows two in the money finishes over the rack in his last two starts.

Race 2

TRICE UP finished a close fourth last time out after pressing a quick pace. He figures to be on or near the lead again today and is the choice for the in against a well-matched field. FOLOWTHEMOEYTRAIL was fifth as the favorite last time out on the drop in class. He has seven wins here at Turfway and looks like the one to beat. CANDY CHANT looked very sharp beating a few of these same horses last time out at long odds. Any improvement off of that effort would make him tough to beat again today.

Race 3

DADDY’S PROFITT was a beaten favorite in Ohio last time out, but ran a decent race against tougher here at Turfway before that one and is the choice for the win here. CELEBRITY SONG drops in class after two disappointing efforts since coming back from the layoff. She broke her maiden here at Turfway last winter and could be dangerous today. PEW looks capable of running well here despite the move up in class.

Race 4

LET’S CALL A TRUCE looked sharp winning last time out in his second start over the track. He figures to be part of the pace again today, give him the edge in another will-matched filed. JOE’S KEEPER has a win and a third in his last two starts here at Turfway and is a definite contender. THE GREEN COUGAR closed well to finish second last time out and figures to be running at...
