Today’s race meeting at Rosehill has been called off after Equine Influenza was confirmed as reaching Warwick Farm.

thought they had it contained?!

damn that means next week when im down for the footy warwick farm wont be on on monday.....wenty park it is then

1200 horses now have the flu. 5/1 says it'll beat the Melb. Cup into Victoria.

yeah 2 horses in the clarry conners yard have it...

It must have been a line ball....

Had they sent Warwick Farm horses to Rosehill today which were already incubating the virus,it would have affected the Rosehill horses.

Rob Waterhouse reported this in another forum at 3am this morning.So it's clear that the principals in the racing industry had a sleepless night awaiting confirmation of tests.

Makes you wonder whether or not containment is a realistic policy.

Syllabus,
What forum was Rob Waterhouse on?
Thanks

If it can't be contained in a QUARANTINE CENTRE for $&*% sake, then how did they ever expect to contain the thing out in the open. They should just open up the borders, allow horses to be moved freely, and let the virus run it's course. It's so frigging contagious, you'd think it could cover Australia in a month. Then couldn't everyone get on with it. It seems trying to contain it is just going to prolong the agony for the industry. I think the virus will be in Victoria before the Melbourne Cup, and even if it isn't, the race is hardly up to par with so many quality horses missing.
