Barakey / Smoko, anybody have updates ?

Smoko still spelling, expected to return towards the end of next month.

Thanks, hopefully all good Barakey.

Mr Moet, who has struggled in his last two campaigns in Perth, has been retired. Mr Moet won 12 races from 42 starts, total prize money $1,538,430.
Likely to begin a new life on the equestrian circuit.

Don't recall him wining on the oz east coast but some good runs including a tidy effort in the 2013 Caulfield Cup finishing not that far behind the winner

..devastating news..elite belle
..a huge loss to wa racing..

Terribly sad news news jake. Elite Belle passed away after suffering a heart attack on a flight to the east coast of Australia. The 6yo mare was to be set for the Championships in Sydney for the autumn carnival after the impressive mare won both the Group 2 Cox Stakes and Group 1 Railway Stakes.

That is sad. A very talented mare who probably never really fulfilled her enormous potential.

That's a real shock. Reported that her flight had been airborne for only 30 minutes when Elite Belle collapsed & passed away in her stall. An autopsy later confirmed she died of a suspected heart attack.
