I confidently predict that today's decision by racing authorities around Australia to suspend racing until further notice will stand as one of the blackest days in racing administration's history.
The discovery of the Equine Influenza virus in stables at Centennial Park was the catalyst for the AJC to think about calling off Randwick, as it's within the 5 km exclusion zone. That makes some sense.
How, then, does this small outbreak lead to a shutdown of all races in South Australia, Victoria and Queensland with Western Australian authorities still considering what to do as I write this.
Racing administrators have a lot of explaining to do to justify their ongoing employment in their roles, if you ask me.
And, please, don't babble on about the precautionary principle being the most important factor. That's simply a way for cowards to avoid taking decisions.
