Thoroughbred bio-security? Can we trust them?
Found this on a website this morning - what hope do we have............
~~~ NOTICE TO TRAINERS ~~~
-- ENTRY TO RESTRICTED HORSE AREA
DURING A RACE MEETING --
Trainers are alerted to the Biosecurity requirement that only persons registered as a
stablehand and directly involved in preparing horses for their races and licensed trainers
should enter this area until further notice.
Additionally, PIRSA require the Industry to be able to identify all persons in this area
during the conduct of a race meeting. For this purpose, and until further notice,
trainers will be required to complete the attached form which is to be completed and
handed to the Stewards prior to leaving the course at each race meeting.
-- ENTRY TO MOUNTING YARD --
Trainers are alerted that until further notice entry to the mounting yard will continue to be
restricted to the trainer (and/or his representative) and the registered stablehand attending
the horse.
This is a direction of the Stewards and breaches may be dealt with accordingly under the
Rules.
Trainers are urged to self regulate this request so as to avoid possible embarrassment to
stable owners and associates.
Any person not understanding this direction is asked to contact the Chairman of Stewards on
xxxxxxxxxx
-- HORSE FLOATS --
Stewards have examined horse floats at several race meetings recently and noted not all
floats demonstrate that Biosecurity regulations have been adhered to. Several trainers have
been issued with warnings in this regard.
The present instructions will remain in place until further notice and apply prior to and after a
float has been used for the transport of horses.
Stewards advise that inspections will continue at trials, trackwork and race meetings and that
no further warnings will be issued in this regard.
The co-operation of all trainers is sought to ensure Biosecurity requirements are correctly
observed.
Good thing Racing is able to self-regulate, if this was a Pony Club Meeting we'd all be in strife!

I heard today that all racehorses in our area are being vaccinated tomorrow! no other horses to be done! We are all at wits end as I feel there is no way I could replace our 17 yr old schoolmaster with even if offered Makybe Diva. I dont believe it will solve the EI dilema but may help in the containment and the intensity of the infection. As it may inhibit the symptoms in most cases vaccinated, if the infection is contracted. There are a lot of angry people tonight in this area!!!
