Team IdaBet wanted to let you know that Sunland Park is still set to resume with live racing.  Our IdaBet.com players are asking so we obtained this latest report for your information:

With racetrack, veterinary, and racing commission officials convinced an outbreak of equine herpesvirus is now under control, Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino was taking entries for Feb. 26, which would mark the return of racing since Jan. 22.

The racing office at the New Mexico track was open Feb. 19 to take entries following presentations made to the New Mexico Racing Commission Feb. 17-18.

According to the latest reports from the New Mexico Live Stock Board, a total of 74 horses—72 in New Mexico and two in Texas—have tested positive for EHV-1, but many have been released from isolation. Six horses that tested positive for the neurologic symptoms of EHV-1 have been euthanized.
