Hopefully back on soon
acing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) advises that all thoroughbred race meetings have been suspended in Western Australia today and tomorrow, with immediate effect, whilst a Victorian licensed participant undergoes testing for COVID-19.
The eastern states participant has this afternoon been advised by health authorities that they were on the same flight as a confirmed case of COVID-19 when they travelled on 12 March 2020. The participant is not currently displaying any symptoms of COVID-19.
Acting upon medical advice and as a precautionary measure, RWWA has decided to suspend the State’s thoroughbred racing while we investigate the implications for any Western Australian industry personnel who have come into direct contact with the impacted eastern states participant.
Those people who have had close contact with the licensed participant are being contacted throughout this afternoon.
Victoria Racing and Racing New South Wales have also suspended racing as a precautionary measure.

To be more specific.
The hoop in question has been back in the state for how long? Everyone in the country knows where he's been. Why has he not been proactively tested? And if he has, again, why did we abandon?
Proactive testing????? hahahaha Very foreign concept for our industry. The hoop, should have been in self isolation just in case...AND here we all are. 1 person, stops an industry of 15,000 staff and then they will ask for financial support due to the actions of 1 person.. IF they are positive

No one is disputing that. But in order to keep racing we should be on the front foot. We obviously weren't.
Why hasn't every jockey been tested in the last 7 days?
