Prix du Jockey Club for Ocean Atlantique

Listed winner and ‘TDN Rising Star’ Ocean Atlantique (American Pharoah) will run in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly on July 5 instead of the G1 Epsom Derby the day prior, Racing Post reported on Saturday. A winner at second asking at Saint-Cloud, Ocean Atlantique was second in the May 14 G3 Prix la Force and rebounded to take the Listed Prix de Suresnes by five lengths on May 31. If successful, the bay would be the first Andre Fabre-trained Prix du Jockey Club hero for Coolmore partners Derrick Smith, Michael Tabor and Sue Magnier. Coolmore already has six Aidan O’Brien-trained chances in the Blue Riband at Epsom.

“Ocean Atlantique will stay in France and will run at Chantilly,” Fabre told Racing Post on Saturday. “The travelling conditions make things too difficult. I am looking forward to running him in the Jockey Club and he will be joined by [G1 French 2000 Guineas winner] Victor Ludorum (GB) (Shamardal).”

Belmont Barn 37 Under Precautionary Quarantine

Officials at the New York Racing Association and New York State Gaming Commission have placed Barn 37 at Belmont Park under a precautionary quarantine after a suspected case of Equine Herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) developed in that barn.

Freudnme (Freud), a 4-year-old colt trained by Chris Englehart, exhibited fever and neurological symptoms Saturday morning and has started treatment under the care of a private veterinarian. H. last raced at Finger Lakes June 24,

Overseen by Dr. Anthony Verderosa, Director of NYRA’s Veterinary Department, and in consultation with the NYSGC, the quarantine of Barn 37 is effective immediately with standard precautions and biosecurity measures now implemented throughout the barn. The length of the quarantine will be determined following the return of test results.

All 37 horses stabled in Barn 37 will be monitored daily for fever and other signs of illness. During the initial quarantine period, these horses will not be permitted to enter races or train among the general horse population.

Afebrile/asymptomatic horses stabled in Barn 37 will have isolated training hours following the closure of the training track. At this time, no other horses in the quarantined barn have developed fever or exhibited symptoms. NYRA will provide additional updates as necessary.
