Horse flu cuts Albury harness racing meets

The harness racing industry in Albury has fallen victim to equine influenza with only one race permitted this season.
The 10-race schedule has been cut back to one meeting on New Year's Eve because of restrictions on horse movements.Albury Harness Racing Club president Jeff Hogan says it is likely to have a big effect on the industry and support services.
He says people are urged to support the industry by attending the New Year's Eve meeting.
"We'll be lobbying well before April to see if it's possible to catch up later on in the year or into the next season," he said.
"[We'll be lobbying to] get the catch up that's able to perhaps get us back to where we were."
