gee willikers, wasn't Lucky Street ultra impressive in the Karrakatta Plate yesterday!

Belated sad news. Sandgroper Hay List was humanely euthanised on 3 February 2015 after suffering from laminitis, he was 9 years old.
Originally trained by Jimmy Taylor, Hay List won 8 from 9 starts in Perth before relocating east.
The gelding had a history of hoof and leg problems throughout his career and overcame many obstacles to get back to the track.
The winner of three Group One races, Hay List ran second to Black Caviar four times at the highest level.
Overall, Hay List won 15 races from 28 starts, total prize money $2,559,575.
RIP big fellow.

One for the west. Perth galloper Watermans Bay won the Group III Victoria Handicap at Caulfield on Saturday. Paid $19.50 in WA.
Prior to heading east, Watermans Bay was an unlucky second in the Group I Winterbottom Stake, then won the A.J. Scahill Stakes, then ran second in the Cyril Flower Stakes.
Watermans Bay has now won 10 races from 36 starts, total prize money $989,950.

Trainer Trevor Andrews was impressed enough to suggest he might start the entire in the Winterbottom at the end of the year. A stud career beckons further down the track.

Any news either these ? Thanks

As per RWWA website.

Champion Western Australian sprinter Barakey has run his final race.

Trainer Jim Taylor confirmed the Key Business gelding had been retired following his unplaced run in Sunday’s Listed Northam Stakes (1100m).

“He’s had a number of issues but the main one was his off side knee where he had no cartilage and it was bone on bone.

“If there was any way you could regrow a damaged cartilage he would have kept racing but it doesn’t get any better.

“It’s sad he won’t be in the stable but he will be on my property for the rest of his days because he has earned a good retirement.”

Barakey stepped out for his maiden appearance in 2011 and won 11 straight races culminating with Group 1 victory in the Winterbottom Stakes (1200m).

He also won the Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m), Group 3 Prince Of Wales Stakes (1200m) and Listed Goodwood Sprint (1300m) and Northam Stakes (1100m).

Barakey, with 13 wins and one placing from 17 starts, won $832,200 in prize money.

Thanks for the update Sandgroper. Congrats to all those associated with Barakey. Nil news Smoko from what I can make out.
