Apologies , I had this horse mixed up with another from the stable ( I think ) this horse was ridden by Yendall and Oliver gave him a good old fashion knock down , might have been Cox plate , also may have been by Domesday and the Dunn family in the ownership. I'm stumped.

Happy retirement Doc. Never really given the credit he deserved I feel, including by me.

Star sprinter Hey Doc has run his race, with connections announcing his retirement on Friday. Co-trainer Calvin McEvoy said the gelding's owners voted unanimously this week to call time on the Group 1 hero's racing career, which netted more than $3 million in prizemoney. The son of Duporth won 10 races during a brilliant 32-start tenure and competed in G1 company from his first season as a two-year-old to his last season as a seven-year-old. He announced himself as a star with victory in the G1 Australian Guineas (1600m) as a three-year-old before developing into one of the country's premier sprinters as an older horse, winning the G1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) twice (2017 and 2020), as well as the G1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) in Perth in 2019. McEvoy said Hey Doc had endeared himself to the staff at both Angaston and Ballarat and his absence would leave a void in the stable. "He's been a real flagbearer for our stable, an incredible horse," McEvoy said. "When he won the Australian Guineas in 2017, that was Dad's first Group 1 win after he branched out from Lindsay Park. "And for the horse to also be my first Group 1 winner after we went into partnership, he was incredible for us. "If you look at his record, he was there in the Blue Diamond as a two-year-old then to be third in a Caulfield Guineas and winning the Australian Guineas, and then come back as an older horse to establish himself as one of the country's best sprinters, he was just an amazing horse. "He wasn't always a straightforward horse - he had surgery and a couple of really long breaks, but he continued to come back and compete. "There was no injury or anything like that, he didn't have anything left to prove on the track." The stable confirmed that Hey Doc will retire to Victoria's Three Bridges Thoroughbred Farm in Eddington, where Pauline Liston will oversee his transition into a riding horse. |

Great run to win the Winterbottom just now, though in front they couldn't run him down.

I wuz wrong Judge .. ( Don't pee before the water comes )
Yes , The Doc went out in 34-42 = Home in = 35.48. VM had a tough task after being severely checked. I was rebelling, after seeing my wager on IHT get nutted. ( Lesson ) = Do nothing from memory when you over 21 |

Time was a second quicker than the other 1200m race of the night and 0.66sec outside Miss Andretti's track record. He won tonight against his preferred pattern from a wide draw. I didn't back him, but continues to be underrated this horse, now 8 from 18. They've discovered he's a sprinter and he's won up the straight. In the Darley up to his eyeballs imo.

I wish the Doc had stayed home stayer. The fav lost a couple of lengths when the winner checked him. Williams then had to use him up. He's already peaked. They are only allowed one mistake in a race. |

Very ordinary race really. They didn't go like lightening early and 5 of the 8 races ran much faster final 600's. Overall time not very impressive either. . Mystery?
Throw the form guides out the window. |

I would agree Khan, but he has probably been a sprinter all along.

Trainer Tony McEvoy says they won't run Hey Doc again before the
Doncaster Mile. If he doesn't make it then 3YO will be off to paddock.

Looks a stronger horse this time in , I'd have a throw at the Donny , normally a strongly run race which will suit, as he still didn't settle for the initial 500 metres of the Guineas

His current nominations are for the Newmarket , highly unlikely, and the Doncaster , possibility .
