Badly injured a tendon in the Aust. Stakes.

Boss reported very early stride problems [not his fault]. Another potential great horse out to pasture and after Flattery's ride in the Orr. That makes two [hell will freeze over before he gets another ride in a big race on a good horse].

Regal Roller was M Flaherty's suicide ride in the Orr. I mentioned. He was so affected by the big day and got so obsessed with the leader dual, he lost the plot and over-raced the horse [their breathing gets out of sync. with their stride and their heart stops on an off], which can cause all sorts of injuries including death from the heart completely stopping. The bugger almost killed the horse. Like I said [hell will freeze over] every trainer in Aust. noticed.

Sorry mate. I deleted my post, because I finally worked out that Regal Roller must have been what you were referring to. :o
