Youthful Jack suffers career ending injury

19 Aug 2014 | Racingandsports.com.au

Youthful Jack, the evergreen million dollar prize winner trained at Taree on the NSW north coast, has suffered a career ending injury.

The Ross Stitt-trained nine-year-old broke down with a serious sesamoid injury in a track gallop.

Youthful Jack Horseform required emergency veterinary treatment for the injury to his off fore.

”We will be able to save him but he won’t race again,” Stitt reported.

It has been a rollercoaster 48 hours for Stitt after he won Sunday’s Casino Cup with Single Spirit. On Monday his last start Coffs Harbour Cup winner Southern Shimmer was hit by a mystery leg infection, ruling him out of a start in next Sunday’s Taree Gold Cup.

Youthful Jack was also set to start at the Taree Cup meeting.

Youthful Jack won 18 of his 74 starts, including Group and Listed races in Sydney, Queensland and Tasmania and prizemoney of $1.144,200.
