Equine flu outbreak - All UK meetings cancelled

[wearthefoxhat]

Anyone want to meet for a beer? I've suddenly got time on my hands...

I thought it may be fun to invite Bet Angel users to the office.

As long as no-one brings the human version of the flu with them...just saying...

Breaking news: The British Horseracing Authority has this afternoon taken the decision that racing will not resume in Britain until Wednesday 13 February at the earliest.

Bugger! And I was so looking forward to clawing back a few more quid from you...........

Personally I don’t mind not trading the horses for a week or more. Would much rather all those that have been affected make a full recovery.

Not sure my horse trading strategy will work on the greyhounds but nothing much to lose using the minimum stakes for a laugh and seeing how it implodes etc.

Get well soon my amazing animals.

Should be such a big lesson, for everyone - in any industry

Diversify! - cos this gap could break people

Don't dwell on the good times -> use those gains to protect against times, such as this one. New sports, new business hobbies etc

Not even Mystic Meg woulda seen this comin; & it could go on

I've often questioned if that dialog box really means an application is not responding or whether it's Microsoft Windows's way of saying it's having problems running the app and trying to blame the app!

[Derek27]

Quite positive so far with just one card confirmed infected, albeit with a suspicious case from another yard.

That doesn't happen very often

I had one of those about 3 days ago....first proper crash ever actually which is 1.Great, but also 2.Slightly worrying.

I know it's just a novelty book but 148% is pretty extortionate for a three-horse race!

Seems to be a bit of dissent forming in the ranks:

BHA defends shutdown after Nigel Twiston-Davies blasts 'overreaction'

https://www.racingpost.com/news/equine- ... ses/365656

It will be interesting to see how things develop as people will be okay with a short shut down but if things start to drag on calls for resuming will become stronger. The betting market on Betfair is strong odds on for no restart before Friday 15th.

Monday will be informative once the test results come back, hopefully there are very few positives and things get back to normal quickly.

Or with slightly less cynical glasses on, they don't miss an opportunity to make opportunities for us.
