In consultation with the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, the state veterinarian, and the Indiana Board of Animal Health, Hoosier Park is implementing the following policy regarding equine herpes:

• Hoosier Park will require proof of EHV (Equine Herpes Virus, also known as Equine Rhinopneumonitis) vaccination for all horses entering the grounds.
• The vaccination must have been administered within the last six months.
• No exceptions will be allowed.
• Proof of vaccination signed by a licensed and accredited veterinarian must be presented at the stable gate and filed with the race office.
• A licensed veterinarian must sign proof of treatment papers.
• An increasing number of EHV cases at other racetracks have prompted this proactive measure to prevent such occurrences in Indiana.
• Any horse testing positive for equine herpes may be required to vacate the Hoosier Park premises immediately.
