Lone Star Park Institutes Special Shipping Requirements Effective Immediately

(Grand Prairie, Texas - February 26, 2010) - Lone Star Park has instituted special shipping requirements that are effective immediately. Horses originating from any premise under quarantine for Equine Piroplasmosis or from any part of Kleburg County or adjacent counties (Nueces, Jim Wells, Brooks and Kenedy) not under quarantine shall not enter Lone Star Park.

The trainer and driver of a horse entering the LSP stable area will have to sign a statement attesting that, "The horse(s) arriving today do not originate from any premise under quarantine for Equine Piroplasmosis. The horse(s) also are not entering from any part of Kleburg County or adjacent counties (Nueces, Jim Wells, Brooks and Kenedy)." To download a copy of the form to print, click here.

Though not required at this time, Lone Star Park recommends that all horses shipping in regardless of origin be inspected by a veterinarian for ticks upon arrival.

We do expect that these policies could change in the near future so please check the overnight and horsemen's information section of our web site - www.lonestarpark.com for updates.

Horsemen should continue to contact the racing office at LSP before shipping horses in case the policy changes in any way. The racing offce can be reached by phone at (888) 4RACING or (972) 237-1130 or by e-mail at racing@lonestarpark.com.
