Short and Spectacular career for Shut Up N Dance.  sad to be over so quickly. she very promising and quick. 

Noticed the second horse to her on the 5th March FIVE STAR GENERAL (J Dunn driving for Peter Bagrie with Blue headgear) after working hard to lead the race ran a Clear 2nd. is ALSO sporting One of those fancy Nasal Patches. 

Crikey! they make a Difference !!!      the rest of field struggling well behind these 2.

 Of course there are lots of Allstar Cullens wearing them too .Amazing Dream, Spankem and Self Assured gave the leader AGWhitesox a 'Real' workover last Friday while Sporting their nasal strips . Whitesox looking plain as the 3 nasals 'swept on by' up the straight, wondering why he couldn't have one too??. 

 

Good to see some opponents like R.Todd, and P.Bagrie using things like this to keep up with Cullens !

FIVE STAR GENERAL (looking a certainty for his next start) after this Great 2nd in photo below to Shut Up N Dance BUT was run down again, on 19th March, into 2nd by 'Rock Legend and M.Purdon without a Nasal strip'. lol.......

Five Star General is a good horse but he is wayward and seems a slow learner. You can't back him with confidence yet but when he gets it together he will be another top-liner for the Bagrie stable and they have had a few real good ones.

Yes I saw this on Sunday that Shut Up and Dance had been withdrawn from the Jewels and wondered why that was then saw the article on HRNZ Monday explaining. Sad for connections. Hope her foals leave nice ones for them.
