None of the big names seem to fussed on Twitter, very serious for me. So close to the festival and some good prize money this weekend. See this going into next week.
Let's hope it's nothing like the foot and mouth fiasco of years ago.
Panic now amongst Twitter. I'll wait for further statements, really isn't looking good though.
Fingers crossed, but it sounds serious.
Bloody irresponsible of the yard IMO - they would have known they had sick horses and the vets had taken samples, what on Earth were they doing taking anything off the yard before they’d had the results?!
Hopefully the poorly ones are isolated now and being treated properly so it can get back to business as usual very soon.

Only yard I can see had runners at both meetings was Donald McCain unless I'm missing something.
It would have to Ayr on a Weds where G Elliot has a lorriload of runners. This means a soft border and we are unprotteced by the Irish Sea?
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.
And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
This is disastrous. Can’t see racing going ahead this weekend.

Jesus Mary and Joseph, not good.
Some saying the festival could be in doubt and comparing it to the Australia outbreak.
The Australian episode was much worse. This needs to be nipped in the bud, horses exposed isolated and tested. Then there’s real hope. I’m surprised Thurles is on today.

Best case scenario
Horses from the affected yard that ran at Ayr and Ludlow test negative, no cases arise elsewhere and racing resumes in about a week
Worst case scenario
We lose Cheltenham, Aintree, Fairyhouse Punchestown festivals and the early flat season classics and beyond.
There's also the likelihood of preparations for these to be interrupted somewhat, one example would be that a horse needs to have run in a chase this season to qualify for the GN, that opportunity could be denied them.

Elliott's horses came back and are held up in a yard 15 miles from his and have been tested.
What about John Carr and Ronan McNally's ? Both have runners declared for Thurles today.
Crazy racing going ahead.
