‘My worst week in 40 years training horses’ – Rouget

LAST Sunday at Chantilly, Jean-Claude Rouget described the past week as the worst in the 40 years since he became a trainer. This is due to an outbreak of an equine virus which France Galop has confirmed is the virulent Herpes Type 1. It has already led to two deaths in the Rouget yard among the 57 horses he has put in an isolation barn.
