\"LTF\"<\/a>Lauriston Thoroughbred Farm is disappointed to announce the withdrawal of its draft of yearlings from the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale commencing 2 March 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Spring a foal returned to Lauriston Thoroughbred Farm from the Hunter Valley diagnosed with strangles. \u00a0This was the first known case of the virus on the farm.\u00a0 Following due protocols the farm was deemed free of the virus in late January 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inexplicably another foal recently returned a positive to strangles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lauriston Thoroughbred Farm yearlings are being closely monitored by Dr Tom Brennan of Flemington Equine Clinic and no yearling has shown any clinical signs of the infection.\u00a0 All had been vaccinated earlier this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as a precautionary measure, and in the best interests of the wider equine community, Lauriston Thoroughbred Farm has decided to withdraw its yearlings from this year\u2019s Melbourne Premier Sale.<\/span><\/p>\n

All at Lauriston, the management and staff deeply regret this outcome and we apologise unreservedly for causing any inconvenience.<\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as the outstanding analysis provides a clearance for these yearlings they will then be offered for sale and I hope to make an announcement as to the venue of that sale in the ensuing days.<\/span><\/p>\n
