'It's quite eerie': Horses race on in Australia, Asia
The HinduPunters in the UK had to make do with a virtual Grand National this weekend, but in Australia and Asia they are still able to enjoy a flutter on the real thing, albeit only online. Sydney's autumn racing festival burst out of the gates Saturday to little fanfare on an Australia Derby Day held without the customary throngs of well-dressed spectators. Royal Randwick racecourse was open only to “essential” Racing New South Wales and Australian Turf Club staff, as well as a handful of participants and media keeping coronavirus precautions in mind. “I'll have more than one.” Racing in Australia has continued behind closed doors in all states except Tasmania, which last week enforced a shutdown. Five cards were scheduled on Sunday from New South Wales to Western Australia while in Asia, behind closed doors meetings were also taking place in Hong Kong and Japan.
