Blacks A Fake held in Brisbane horse flu quarantine

THE most famous racehorse in Australia to have had horse flu will be quarantined in Rocklea on Thursday (27th Dec) among a group worth $5 million.

Seven harness racing horses including Blacks A Fake will enter a quarantine station at Rocklea Showgrounds as a final precaution before travelling to Victoria for races.

Blacks A Fake is worth $2 million and won the past two Inter Dominion races before contracting equine influenza.

Two other standardbred horses entering quarantine - dual Miracle Mile winner Be Good Johnny and multiple Grand Circuit winner Slipnslide - are also worth millions.
