All British horse racing cancelled over equine flu fears

    All horse racing meetings in Britain have been cancelled today over concerns of equine flu.

    The decision by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) comes after three vaccinated horses in an active yard tested positive for the disease.

    Horses from the infected yard raced on Wednesday, potentially exposing a significant number of horses.

    Four British meetings were scheduled for Thursday - Huntingdon, Doncaster, Ffos Las and Chelmsford.
