Four new positive tests for equine flu

Four new positive tests of equine flu in vaccinated thoroughbreds have been confirmed.

The results came from the Newmarket yard of flat trainer Simon Crisford.

Racing is on hold for the whole of the country until at least Wednesday, while the British Horseracing Authority tests horses nationwide.

The suspension came after the discovery on Thursday of six cases of equine flu at Donald McCain's Cheshire stable.
