'Australian sprint star Takeover Target has reportedly undergone emergency surgery after suffering a career-threatening injury while racing in England.
The 10 year-old gelding was reported by the Racing Post to have cracked a cannon bone, which leads from the knee to the ankle, in the July Cup at the historic Newmarket racecourse this morning'.
The horse has had arthritic problems for the last 2 yrs. [not unusual considering his age] They should have retired him last year. Greedy owner's never say STOP!
