Topsy I agree totally with what you said I have no idea why but Gai young horses really never comeback at all which trust me doesn't bother me to much cause I doubt there is a person in Australian racing that I despise more.


Whether the horses simply do not come back up or there was no improvement left in them from there 2yo days or with there are other reasons who knows for sure.

This is where I have always admired what John Hawkes has accomplished with horses like Crawl, Flavour and Sports they were all successful deep into there careers and just keep producing he doesn't seem to really wear his horses out early.
