"With the transportation of horses banned across most of Australia, and the number of confirmed flu cases all but doubling yesterday to 47, racing authorities were scrambling to limit the damage from the worst disaster to strike the industry - a disaster compounded by owners and trainers continuing to move their horses either in ignorance or defiance of the transport ban."
"In Sydney, the Australian Jockey Club is considering hosting made-for-broadcast race meetings in front of empty grandstands at Randwick in an effort to aid trainers and owners financially punished by the outbreak."

Good stuff, thanks for posting that.
