WA: Equine influenza testing continues=2

Meanwhile, Perth Racing chief executive Alasdair Robertson said a biologically secure
area was being considered to allow racing to continue at Perth's Ascot racecourse, if
the WA Agriculture Department agrees to it.

"It could range from simply making sure I put security guards on the end of each street
to make sure if a horse is moving within the precinct it certainly couldn't move without
to make sure integrity of the site."

Mr Robertson told ABC radio the racing ban would cost the industry $4 million a week.
