BREAKING NEWS!
Magical Miss, a one-time favorite for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups broke down at trackwork today and will miss the remainder of her spring engagements.
The mare has already been officially scratched from Saturday’s Caulfield Cup.
Original first emergency Hey Pronto has also been scratched which means New Zealander Hail will make the field and Grey Song is now first emergency.
Meanwhile, smart but unlucky three-year-old Bel Esprit is still in the Cox Plate mix after some of his connections decided to over-rule an earlier decision to spell him.
However, while trainer John Symons is pressing on with plans to start him in the $3 million race, he will not make a final decision until the colt gallops next Tuesday.
