Horses on the move after quarantine stay

Queensland Racing says more racehorses are heading to New South Wales after being successfully quarantined in south-east Queensland to prevent the spread of equine influenza.
CEO Malcolm Tuttle says 17 thoroughbreds were successfully quarantined for seven days, with 12 already on their way to Victoria, Bundaberg and Rockhampton.
Mr Tuttle says the last five horses will cross the New South Wales border today.
"Some of the horses were heading down to New South Wales, we had a handful heading down to Victoria and some up into the Rockhampton area," he said.
"It's been terrific for the industry that we've been able to facilitate the movement of these horses."
