Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 23 Journalists Share Posted September 23 Switzerland winning the Group 2 Todman Stakes at Randwick. Photo: bradleyphotos.com.au Switzerland is unlikely to line up in the Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m), leaving Emirate as Chris Waller’s sole contender in this weekend’s Group 1 at Rosehill. Waller is instead considering a switch in plans, with Switzerland likely to target the Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on October 12. Switzerland, the Group 2 Todman Stakes (200m) winner, disappointed in his first-up run, finishing last in the Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m). It was later revealed he had suffered a leg cut that required stitches. Although the wound has mostly healed, Waller is cautious about rushing him back into top-level competition. “It’s unlikely,” Waller said of Switzerland’s Golden Rose chances. “He got a pretty decent cut last start, so it’s likely he will go to the Roman Consul and then to the Coolmore (Stud Stakes) after that. “It needed a couple of staples, but it’s healed now. The staples come out Monday, and he’ll be galloping on Monday, but I’d rather give him a bit more confidence before taking on the big guns. “I think the Roman Consul fits well.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
