Racing set to resume at Randwick


Racing will resume at Sydney's Randwick Racecourse tomorrow for the first time since the horse flu outbreak.

The outbreak struck down 140,000 horses across the state and the effects are still being felt throughout the industry.

Racing NSW chief executive Peter V'landys says the state's TAB has already lost $250 million in betting turn-over, while Tabcorp puts its loss between NSW and Victoria at $500 million.

Mr V'landys says he remains apprehensive.

"It's been a very dark time in New South Wales and we're just hoping everything goes to plan and we don't call the meeting off at the last minute like we have the last three," he said.

"I'll be happy about 6:00pm on Saturday evening when it's all over."
