The San Franciso Chronicle is reporting today that a horse at Golden Gate Fields, a racetrack near that city, has tested positive for the neurological form of Equine Herpes Virus, known as EHV-1.

Three racetracks in California have been quarantined.

The sick horse was transported to the veterinary hospital at the University of California at Davis, where it was diagnosed.
