Todd Pletcher's barn has been quarantined at Palm Meadows.

A horse exhibited certain neurological conditions and is being tested for Strangles. Pletcher horses entered for today were scratched as a precaution.

Perhaps this is an omen...Chris Englehart's barn was quarantined and all he did was win 7 in row

Strangles is nasty stuff...and very contagious...better to be safe than sorry.

The blood tests are due back in tomorrow morning from Kentucky, they were suppose to be in at 11am today. There are several others who use barn 2 including Pletcher, Sheppard, Klesaris,Violette, Saeed bin Suroor, and Vazquez. The horse that came in shipped in from South Carolina. Several barns were also quarantined at Palm Meadows.

All clear.

Gulfstream Park officials late Thursday afternoon lifted the quarantine track management had implemented earlier that morning on one barn at the track and four others at its training center at Palm Meadows after an unidentified horse from trainer Jonathan Sheppard's barn displayed signs of a potential neurological disorder.

Hope they do a good job of cleaning everything in that barn...this thing stays around for a while on everything...blankets, buckets, ect.
