The main block is two big barns, but they are long with stalls either side of an aisle, in one case with another single aisle running parallel - and although interconnected, they are separated by a section with all the food stores etc so they are not that open to air passing through - the walkway between is a kind of dogleg. The third barn is quite a trot away - 20 yards or so. The other boxes are quite a bit further away again, and iirc they are all quite small - c12/20 horses only. The horses are exercised only with others in their barn or section, so it would be quite hard for any virus to pass right round the yard - it would tend to stay within the one it started in.

Seems the most likely explanation to me, Zirkel's run today was too bad to be true and he wasn't the only one recently
