Sorry to hear that . I'll be on the tail of Amelie's Star & the runner up to Winx last week. ( he'll beat Humidor.)

Bonneval (NZ) - rider Damian Lane stated he had difficulty obtaining a clear run from the 600m and he was satisfied with the run once into clear running in the straight. A post race veterinary examination revealed the mare had sustained a small wound on its off hind pastern and was lame in the near foreleg and will require a veterinary clearance prior to racing again.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

Murray Baker says the vet is full of it. Bailey says she will have to pass an inspection to run.

After reading what Baker has said I seems to me likely that the horse was not significantly lame after the race and that the vet made a mistake. Vets are not perfect and they do make mistakes.

I was expecting Bonneval to run poorly when she was so soft in the last 30mins of betting. She should have been a dominant favourite, but bookies were happy to drift her out. Same for Hartnell. I could not back Bonneval in anything until she proves herself again. She was just poor on Saturday. no excuses.

Don't lose faith...

Sunline...simply supreme

I trust in the trainer. If he says nothing wrong, only one possibly two can challenge her with her weight over 2400m.

So was REDZEL

So definitely cleared to run, right? Surprised there's no response on the forum?

Good to hear mate. Don't need to put more on!

I'll never pot Craig W in a CC after his 11/10 ride on Dunaden - won half a year's salary that day and neighbours heard me screaming from 600m out. Probably my favourite racing memory. Have a framed pic on my wall.

he's been potted for a few years now...i thought it was overstated but in the last 12 months or so, i sort of came on board...his shockers are real shockers and there is probably too many of them in a season for a top flight jockey.

above that...what might compound it for punters is having to listen to craigs clinical post race explanations after murdering a moral.

Who was giving the mouth to mouth in your crystal balls???

Vet check and ordinary barrier draw.. Line through her for me

How can the stewards claim she was treated for lameness but the trainer denies it.
Who's lying?
