Good news Mongolian Khan
Recovering well from the colic attack
Heading back home (NZ) shortly

That's great news kiwiz. Sounds like this years runner-up, Trip To Paris, may return next year. Recently unplaced in the Japan Cup & now having a well earned spell.

..on the subject of returning horses
..read somewhere that anthony freedman was of the opinion that 3rd placer..our ivanhowe..will go even better next time around
..6yo i think..but only lightly raced
