Flu strikes at Cal-Expo

 Return Home
October 25, 2004 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Cal-Expo has been forced to cancel two Wednesday programs as a result of a sudden outbreak of equine influenza that has ravished the barn area. According to a story in the Sacramento Bee, about 125 horses were stricken with the flu last week, including 21 that had to be scratched out of the Oct. 14 program.



"It was devastating for a while," race secretary Fred Kuebler told the Bee. "Out of the 800 horses we have on the grounds, only 360 are actually competing right now. So, this represented a big percentage."



The track decided to cancel the two programs--Oct. 20 and Oct. 27--to ensure enough horses could be entered for the weekend races. The track will race Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until Nov. 3.
