Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 1, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 1, 2018 The Gerald Ryan trained Menari (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}), who was being trained for a shot at The Everest, has injured a tendon and will miss the race. His injury means a slot has become available in the A$13-million contest at Randwick in October less than a fortnight after Max Whitby and associates had secured the colt for their slot in the race. Announcing the news on Wednesday Racing NSW said, “Trainer Gerald Ryan has reported to Racing NSW Stewards this morning that Menari has sustained an injury to its near fore tendon and will not race during the Sydney spring carnival which includes The Everest to be conducted at Randwick on Saturday, 13 October 2018. Mr Ryan advised that given the nature of the injury, connections will now give consideration to retiring the horse.” Menari has not raced this year but he won the G2 Run To The Rose last year before finishing third in the G1 Golden Rose at Rosehill last September. His own sire Snitzel (Aus) has just been crowned champion sire for the second time and a stallion career may well beckon for the Corumbene Stud bred and part owned 4-year-old.
