The
restrictions imposed on 140 horses
following a case of Strangles at Kranji were lifted today after test results
from the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) returned negative.
Trained by Brian Dean, Alvin Tan and Mok Zhan Lun, these 140 horses which
were isolated and barred from racing and trackwork as a precaution on
September 1 after one of two horses from Dean’s yard tested positive to
Strangles, will therefore be allowed to work and race again from today.
Restrictions on visitors’ access to the stables at the Singapore Turf Club
will also be lifted, while the horse swimming pool will also be re-opened
tomorrow.
The infected horse is recovering well and should be able to be taken out of
isolation in about a week’s time.
“The horse is very well and jumping out of his skin,” said Dr Koos van den
Berg, Head of the Veterinary Department at the Singapore Turf Club.
“He should be able to go back to his stables in a week’s time.” |
