Equine Flu Outbreak

[ComplyOrDie]

It looks like I'm the only one on here who thinks the BHA have done exactly the right thing throughout this incident.

I wouldn't say that FM. On the most part they have done what I certainly would have expected of them, but now we are at a point where 99.5% of tests are negative, a little common sense to maybe get racing back underway wouldn't go amiss. And the Irish seem keen on that thought too, given they are allowing British raiders over to their courses from today.

I think by putting a timescale on it, I.e. Wednesday for a decision, they have backed themselves into a corner. That said, some would moan there is no clarity if they hadn't declared a date, so they are damned if they do and damned if they don't in that respect.

You would think so, surely tonight’s news will be positive. Can’t see any reason not to be after this news

I stand by my post.
BHA damned if they do / damned if they don’t, no perfect solution , I get that
What I said was well done Hen
I thought it a balanced article , giving further insight to us “amateurs”
Hopefully no outbreak /epidemic and we resume and the industry returns to somewhere near normality

I fear this will stay with me for a while

Won't mention it again, I'm done.

Won't mention it again, I'm done.

I don't mind Kev. It won't be long before I find a worse bet out there and all will be forgotten

They've only done the right thing if they don't do the 'right thing' every time a horse gets the flu.

If they shut up shop every time a horse gets flu then it's not the right thing as they clearly get the flu all the f**king time.

Lets hope it's not going around on march 11th.

Anyone else think the BHA's veterinary committee are all just sat there with their feet up laughing at us as they make us wait?

[Nortons who]

Who do they think we are ? 'WAITING PATIENTLY'!

Awesome.

Making the 4 hour trip down, so glad it's almost certain to be a world class card!
