Jointly with the HBPA, we would like to share an update on the use of the Bio-Security Fund for the cautionary measures implemented in the backstretch for the Equine Herpes Virus EHV-1 positive back in June of this year.
The Bio-Security Fund was created following the outbreak of EHV-1 in 2020 to alleviate the financial pressure on owners paying for necessary testing. Starting in 2021, owners pay $25 into the Bio-Security Fund with their first start each year.
In June 2025, a total of 71 horses were tested and the total amount spent from the fund was $14,231.
Woodbine only administers these transactions as directed by the HBPA.
Thank you again for all your vigilant care and consideration during this situation.
