Western Australia s COVID-19 scare has potentially thrown the autumn campaigns of All-Star Mile contenders Arcadia Queen and Regal Power into disarray, with both gallopers unable to trial as planned at Belmont on Monday.
The discovery a security guard had returned a positive COVID-19 test resulted in protocols being put into place in Perth on Sunday, forcing Monday s trials to be cancelled along with the closure of Perth s public training tracks.
Owner Bob Peters said on Monday the cancelled trial could impact on the autumn preparations of Arcadia Queen and Regal Power, especially as the training tracks were also closed as a response to the COVID-19 positive.
