St Pat's warns horse flu immunisation must be underway

Interstate trainers who have not yet immunised their horses against equine influenza will not be able to attend this year's St Pat's race meeting in Broken Hill, in far western New South Wales.
Under Racing NSW regulations, horses need a vaccination certificate saying they have been immunised and have had their first booster shot.
St Pat's club secretary Cheryl Krutli says with just three weeks to go until the meeting, if this process is not already underway, it is too late.
It's getting very late now, they're past the time where it will give them the opportunity to have their vaccination and their first booster, which is [an] absolute minimum three weeks after the initial injection," she said.
Meanwhile, the club hopes to fill any shortfall in racing numbers from within NSW.
