Can you believe it?

******************
Randwick horses to break free
Tony Arrold | October 06, 2007
A MASS exodus out of Randwick from Monday will end seven weeks of confinement because of the equine influenza outbreak for the majority of the 660-plus horses stabled at the historic track.

Trainers are making arrangements to move selected horses to go to a spelling paddock.
************************

Can you believe it? Whilst everyone else is on lockdown, if you have racehorses - do what you like and permits from the DPI will be granted. To bad if you have a performance horse.

Letter below written to Bruce Christie and Diane Ryan in response to this article and many others, just another DPI stuff-up.

Hi Bruce/Diane,

Can you please explain how the horses at Randwick are being moved from today out to "EI" infected properties outside of Sydney, and you are not allowing Centennial Park horses out to recover in the same manner? This is a disgusting display of favoritism, our performance horses compete and generate revenue in the same way the racing industry does - this is absolutley disgraceful that this is happening.

Please explain why this decision was made and how it is possible that these horses are leaving Randwick and not Centennial Park, or do you have an update for us on this?

Regards,

Kate Wallis

Actually the DPI does not issue permits to the racing industry, the Racing Board does, the real question is why the DPI does not have full over riding control in these circumstances.
