He'll still need more then he's shown.

I see he goes around again today.

Wonder what the owners thinking was taking him off Laing ?

On class he does but not on preparation.

That race off a 4 or 5 week break.

Anyone brave enough to back him today?

$5.50 fixed. One win from 24 starts. You would think the bookies would strongly lay him. I'm no bookie but if l was this is the type of horse you'd happily let the punters get on.

If he gets out a bit in price l'll be tempted.

One last chance.

Karl and Susan Kennedy are my heroes

What a deadset cat.

You could not ask for a better run. Got away from the fence. Joined in at the right time.

I thought for sure when it got out it was going to win.

Will struggle to win another race.

They have campaigned in similar manner, on that front there was no point changing trainers.

The horse needs to run once every 4 or 5 weeks if that often.

Apparently he has bitten one of his opponents again ?

Should have been disqualified out of the race.

I had Akavoroun the place for a stack

Stewards will no longer be accepting nominations for this horse.

Or something.

He'll look quite pretty with his mane and tail done up going over an oxer.

Gelded, LONG rest, significant retraining (I for one don't believe that merely removing his balls will improve his racing manners), and perhaps a season or two on a station pushing cattle across the wops.

But I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see him gelded and turn up somewhere as a show horse. Can't bite another horse if there aren't any other horses in the ring.

So Si Bon's future to be decided on Monday

It appears likely So Si Bon is about to be given the ultimate gear change in an attempt to resurrect his racetrack career.

The enigmatic entire finished third at Flemington on Saturday but was banned from racing again for attempting to bite Yesterday’s Songs on jumping away.

It is not the first time So Si Bon has had an embargo placed upon him for biting, the first time also at Flemington, making a lunge at Missrock in the Newmarket Handicap in March.

Craig Williams also told Stewards he felt So Si Bon bite his leg in a race at Caulfield last month.

Racing Victoria Stewards advised co-trainer Tom Dabernig after racing on Saturday that So Si Bon is now stood down from racing until submissions are heard regarding his future.

Lindsay Park Racing senior trainer David Hayes said on Sunday connections were talking about options for the four-year-old son of So You Think, the winner of just one race but Group I placed in the Rosehill Guineas and Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.

“His syndicate of owners are having the discussion today and I’m expecting we will get permission to have him gelded,” Hayes said.

“I think he’ll make a good racehorse as a gelding as he’s clearly got the ability.

“We’ve tried a few things to help him and it’s frustrating but it looks like this is the best way forward and we’ll have an answer on Monday.”

I Am Invincible won five races, including a Gr-3 and a Listed stakes.

You can also take it to the bank that outside breeders were getting deals that were well less than his $10k advertised fee. “We weren’t too fussy what was bred and a lot of the good early winners were bred by us."

Other than trying to draw a parallel to So Si Bon, who has won only one race out of many opportunities, has a nasty disposition, and has no racing future unless he's gelded, I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
