Bleeders

[Truckie]

In today's Courier Mail, the comment for Kembla Grange on King's Touch, Race 6 No. 4 is " Bleeders should always be treated with caution first-up". Have never seen this before - any comments?

It's different. I'll give marks for originality.

What stats has the writer got to show that bleeders bleed again first up? Or as a group perform any worse first up than non bleeders do first up? My bet is none.

Neil, I suspect that the comment was made in a similar manner to those made abour horses coming back from an injury (which I is really one and the same), that is until you've seen 'em race again you just don't know if they've recovered to the level of performance previously shown.

Did anyone notice it finished motherless last !!!!

Didn't Manikato bleed early on?
