NSW: Cummings stable lockdown a precaution
SYDNEY, Aug 29 AAP - Anthony Cummings' Randwick stable has been locked down this morning
after a horse was found with a high temperature, but the trainer says it is not showing
signs of equine influenza (EI).
Cummings told Sydney radio 2KY the horse had a temperature of 39.5 which was not extreme
but samples had been taken as a precaution.
"For the sake of the situation we reported it and took some samples and hopefully they
will come back clear," Cummings said.
"He didn't look particularly sick but in all the circumstances we have got to be careful."
Randwick Racecourse was shut down during trackwork on Monday when four horses were
found with high temperatures but the samples were all negative to EI.
