Vic: Victorian racing off at least for today

MELBOURNE, Aug 25 AAP - Race meetings in Victoria and South Australia have been called
off in the wake of the equine influenza scare which has already shut down racing and all
horse movement in NSW.

Queensland has also called off today's race meetings.

The NSW government shut down racing after EI was found in 11 horses stabled at Centennial
Park, none of which are racehorses.

A five kilometre exclusion zone is in place around the Centennial Park stables, taking
in nearby Randwick Racecourse where some 700 thoroughbreds are trained.

Horses from NSW have been transported to Victoria in the past week.
