The news that eight thoroughbreds at Randwick have tested positive to EI today effectively closes the track for about two months.
So the spring carnival in NSW is gone, pretty much, and it remains to be seen if the virus spreads further afield to training centres that have so far escaped. Given that the majority of the infection in Sydney has been centralised around Randwick means there is a good chance of containment to that area.
These are the worst fears of the racing industry - hopefully now things can be contained and the virus can burn itself out.
