Something untoward could happen and a non-thoroughbred horse could have a disease. If race meetings were held two weeks apart and good protocols were employed to dispose of the stable manure and so on, how high is the risk, even in that circumstance, of cross-infection? I would like the two bodies to comment on that. Have they even analysed that issue? That seems to be the nub of the issue.
