Unplaced Tribula (Roma Cup) has been retired. Strained her near-fore flexor tendon.

Bummer Sandgroper :sad: Bye girl, you gave me many good memories. Maybe one day I'll have the pleasure of backing one of your sons or daughters.

that should have read Tribulot in my previous post of course, yes a shame about Tribula

William Pike is only a win away from achieving a career threshold of 40 metropolitan wins and out-riding his 2kg claim.

Yep with a bit of luck Perth Placegetter, young Willie should do it tomorrow. He's been in fine form of late.

My tips for Belmont tomorrow are .......

PAUL HARVEY, (thats without GIVING away my place bets hahah!)

But the 2 that I like best for a win are Ambers Halo and Ca Cao, which are also among my place bets as it happens.

Good luck to all

Reported in today’s WA press that Northerly is still progressing well, although Fred has ruled out a Spring return at this point in time.

Good to hear that things are still progressing OK Perth Placegetter. Guess they need to be slow & careful. Do you know the latest on his tendon injury, is it fully healed yet?

No not fully Paddy. Latest scan showed tendon still in repair mode, but getting better with time. Fred plans to mix work with rest in an effort to ensure tendon heals with enough strength to stand up to racing again.

Don't think he will make it back to the track - getting too old for another campaign after what is likely a very long layoff!

Could be right Unlucky Phil, we'll just have to wait and see.

Reported over here this morning, that Oaks winner and Derby runner-up, Fatal Attraction, is now in Victoria to be trained by Lee Freedman for the Caulfield-Melbourne cups double. Showed promise given short and limited career over distance - who knows, could just make the grade.

I'll be watching with interest. Fatal Attraction did improve dramatically when up in distance & as you mentioned MyHatMyCoat only lightly raced.

I dont understand Fred and Northerly.What on earth has the horse got to come back for.2 cox plates and a caulfield cup plus about 9 mill in the kitty.No spring return so that leaves 2005,autumn or spring,another australian cup or spring cox plate no. three
let the ol' champ frolic around in the paddock .Remember when they tried to bring might and power back 2 races last both times
and sky heights the other month
why bother,let the champ retire

Agree 100% rabbitz.

Let him enjoy the rest of his life in leisure, surely he has earned it. Could break-down completely & need to be put down - for what!?

Good to see that the Harvey / Claite saga has ended with a shake of hands.

Don't think Fred would risk it unless 100% OK with Northerly.
