Japanese horses have been banned from racing in Australia since an equine influenza outbreak hit both countries in 2007. Reports say the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service has approved two pre-export quarantine facilities in Tokyo and Nakayama. Jaguar Mail and Meiner Kitz are 2 Japanese stayers who are earmarked for the Melbourne Cup. Craig Williams will ride Jaguar Mail.
