Hard to follow the nags as much these days from QLD. Loved my time at Flemington in the late 90s early 2000s
Got a few tips on the go. Will share shortly

It's hard to appreciate what's involved in that sort of rehab and whether it's even worth the risk......and the money.Geez it’s a roll of the dice isn’t it.

He spent 6 weeks in a box after surgery. No yard, no nothing. And they're animals that want to run. The day they let him out into the yard (not a big yard) for the first day after his 6 week confinement was the most nerve wracking experience. He ran straight at the rails (stopped fortunately), bucked and kicked and carried on like a lunatic for about 15 minutes. It was a release for him ... it was torture for those watching
I don't really have an interest in harness racing but I do have an association with a particularly famous pacer.I used to go to the trots at Moonee Valley after our matches in the 70s. My Form 4 students got me interested. They're probably looking after their grandkids now. Won $20 on Sunray for my first $1 bet. Gambolling is easy.

I generally don't follow the Qld racing ... except for May. Have been burned too many times ... and WA ... I was in Perth the day they carried Rocket Racer off the track .. anything goes!Hard to follow the nags as much these days from QLD. Loved my time at Flemington in the late 90s early 2000s

Dundeel himself had/has pretty good manners from what I understand but a keen competitor on the track. High Chapparal was such a fierce competitor it's perhaps not surprising that it comes through the line.Had bit to do with some Dundeel’s, they can be hot buggers !
The first horse I ever bought had knee troubles. Prepped as an autumn 2 yr old, showed more than a hint of promise and then chipped a knee in a trial before scheduled debut.
Then you have to make a decision. Is it promising enough (an unraced horse) to warrant the expense and associated rehab of knee surgery. He debuted as a spring 3yr old, 7 months after surgery and won by 6 lengths.
Still working Cup, it’s hard because of the internationalsAny early Melb cup roughies I can chuck a few bucks on in the hope they firm up nicely by November?
I had one by Shamardal called Shamtastic that debuted up in country NSW. There were big wraps on her and I was excitedSimilar story, had a very promising 2 yr old filly by Pierata, ran second coming from last at Wellington.
Asked Mick Price for an opinion, he said get her on the plane !
In the stable only a week , when they detected her action was very ordinary !
End result, chip in one knee, non displaced in the other.
As I said earlier, always have their knees x rayed ——- broke my own rule.
Sold her on gavelhouse for peanuts ( with all the vet report )
