NSW: Three more Randwick horses sick

SYDNEY, Aug 30 AAP - Three more horses at the Randwick stable of trainer Anthony Cummings
have been found with elevated temperatures.

"I have a few with temperatures but we will see what comes back because they were all
tested this morning," Cummings said.

"It will be interesting to see what those results show."

One of his gallopers, unraced gelding Paxton, returned a positive preliminary test
to equine influenza (EI) overnight.

Cummings is expected to have results of further confirmatory tests later today.

There were hopes Paxton's initial results showed a false reading as the gelding was
showing no clinical signs of EI this morning and appeared to be improving.

However, Cummings today confirmed that situation had since changed and Paxton was again
displaying a fever.
