Exciting galloper Believe’N’Succeed has returned to the Flemington stables of trainer Mark Kavanagh after a injury setback ruled her out of taking any part in the spring carnival.

The daughter of Exceed And Excel was sidelined with breathing difficulties following a routine track gallop on the eve of the spring carnival.

Speaking to Sport 927 this morning, Kavanagh revealed the filly had a condition called ‘Epiglottic Entrapment’.

“Last August she had a good gallop one morning and she didn’t recover too well and we realised there was a problem there,” Kavanagh said.

“We didn’t get her to race in the springtime, so she just had a bit of laser surgery in her throat and all signs are looking real positive.”

While some affected horses can race successfully with the condition, the surgery untaken by Believe’N’Succeed is generally curative with a relapse rate of 5%.

Kavanagh described the procedure as “not touch and go” but then noted a return to the racetrack is not assured with the multiple Group 1 winning trainer monitoring her progress diligently.

“The only thing touch and go was whether she was going to be a racehorse or have fun and be a broodmare.”

“That was the only decision that had to be made and that’s still on the table at the moment.”

Underlining the cautious approach from Kavanagh, any bold plans for Believe’N’Succeed have been quashed for the meantime with the principle aim of rehabilitating the talented juvenile.

“Well we’ve just pretty thankful we can get her back to the track before we make to many big plans for her.”

“But most certainly if we can get her back to where she was, she’ll be in plenty of races.”

Contesting the three ‘legs’ of the Blue Diamond series in the autumn, Believe’N’Succeed was beaten narrowly on debut behind Sienna’s Fury in the Fillies Preview (1000m) before winning the Fillies Prelude (1100m) at Group 3 level a fortnight later.

Believe’N’Succeed was then beaten by one length finishing fourth behind Reaan, All American and Burgeis in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield, heading to the paddock with $129,750 in prizemoney.

Meanwhile another Mark Kavanagh trained galloper, Boogi On The Grass, has been sent to the paddock following a leg injury.

The slow maturing New Zealand bred mare, suffered bone chips in her near fore fetlock joint.

“She was operated on yesterday, she had chips on her joint,” Kavanagh told Sport 927 this morning.

Boogi On The Grass is now expected to be away from the racetrack for an extended period of time.

“It’ll take about three months to recover and then she’ll be back in work. So it’ll probably around five months till she’ll be back on the track.”

Transferring to the Morphettville stables of Mark Kavanagh from New Zealand after being winless from eight starts, Boogi On The Grass has thrived in South Australia under the watchful eye of stable foreman Sam Kavanagh, winning four of its last five starts.

Progressing from Maidens to Open company has seen Boogi On The Grass take it’s prizemoney to $52,449. Of which $50,700 has been earned whilst under Kavanagh’s tutelage in her past seven outings.

Exciting stuff.

Too bad she drew poorly in the Diamond. She would have went very close.

Awesome horse. Hope to see her back.

I agree, i was on her and thought she was very unlucky. Was the only horse to stick on from up front and your right, if she drew to the inside she would of gone even closer.

Talented horse thats for sure. But i'm looking forward to the return of Sienna's Fury and some more antics from the owner. That's one of the better moments of 2008. LOL

Believe'n'Succeed a daughter of Exceed and Excel (dam of Bounding) is now at stud in England and her son Anthony Van Dyck won the Derby Trial Stakes over 1 mile 3 1/2f overnight.  Now how many Exceed and Excels do we think to send out over a distance in Australia.  Some barely make it to 1200m.  This one won by 2 1/4 lens.  Hope it can run well in the big one.

Can't find it but reported him winning a lead up to the Derby.  Boy they get out sprinters to stay and we get their stayers to sprint.  Then they get a Elvstroem to place in a two year old stakes event and we haven't had much from him in seasons.  We really are a world apart in how horses are trained.

Yes but even 1400m in Australia is a test for a Exceed and Excel.  Their tracks are testing to say the least and they get quite a few out over a distance.  Not just this one.  Sure most are sprinters.

Nothing wrong with speed.  All the greats started out over a lesser trip and won there before going on to a distance.  Mind you he did start in a 7f race but finished 7th of 10 before he won over a mile trip before his run of four 7f runs for G3 win, G2 win, G1 second, G1 third and the a 9th over a mile.  Then a listed win over 1m 3 1/2f before this win in the Derby.

You can't say that they didn't run him as a two year old he had seven starts.  We are hardly even running out sprinting two year olds that much.

I have absolutely no issue with horses being thoroughly tested as 2yos.

It is as they get older that is pisses me off. That said you could see early on that he was looking for a trip as a 2yo.

Notice he kicked him off as a 3yo over 2300m.
