Injured as opposed to not wanting to race. He like many top three year olds of that year had a torrid programme that year caused by abandoned racemeetings after they had travelled and then poor track conditions.
She has done extremely well against the best Aus has to offer (unlike Damask Rose), but a G1 win is the glittering prize. As you know, horses are unpredictable, look at Savaglee, a champion in waiting at 3, never came back at 4
First of all many thanks for being moderated again...thoroughly deserve it
Trainer Ken Kelso on WI
"She reacted to the whip...and I don't think she really needed to use it"
What he said
From WI this morning its apparent from the overhead her movement into the rail started 3/4 L before she got to the painted rail..so that had nothing to do with it
Yes a big run and she is a quality, genuine G1 horse, but why are they not putting her over more ground, that is her forte and why they paid big money for her. Is there a lack of suitable races. They need to get a wriggle on and secure a G1 win for her breeding value, and except for Winx they only have a limited life at the top.
