it is making front pages and honestly I cannot see what the fuss is about.
yeah, any virus spreading is bad, but the fact that horses are related to gambling and the corporate elite, is why its the first news on every radio
station.
Im over it. theres more important things in the world than horses getting sick to run as your cover story.
This is all over the news to be honest. At this stage they think it has been quarantined.
Lets just hope it doesnt cripple the racing industry, especially with the Australian Spring Carnival approaching.
I heard on the radio, that it has previously stopped racing for 5 months in another country. (cant remember which country).
Yesterday the T.A.B lost 40mil alone. www.news.com.au...
If this continues for 5 months or more, it could actually cripple some betting agencies.
This has the potential to cost the Australian economy hundreds of millions of dollars if it continues for too much longer.
Loss of income for many people from wagering companies to farriers.
Very serious business indeed, the racing industry is very much one of the top 10 industries in the country when it comes to employment and the income
it produces...
