..injury worse than first thought..now talking around 12 months on the sideline..

Might not race again, from what I read

Yes jake, bad news Barakey. When surgeons removed the bone chip, they found that his cartilage in his off side knee was all but gone. At the very best, a shortened race career awaits him, if he recovers sufficiently over the next 12 months.

..sounds very likely..grizzle
..will be a shame..trainer said he was still maturing as a racehorse & yet to reach his full potential

Bad luck for Jimmy Taylor once again, first he loses Hay List to another trainer & now this. Must be overdue for a change of luck.

Seems Luckygray is relocating east permanently. Robert Smerdon (Vic) I believe.

Yep, all official. Luckygray will take up residence at Robert Smerdon's Aquanita Racing establishment at Caulfield in the next few weeks.
