Fom Racing Post.....
 Hala Bek back in training by Tony Elves & Neil Morrice HALA BEK has resumed light training and plansfor a resumption of his career should be known early next month. The Halling colt has been sidelined since finishing fourth to Sir Percy in the Vodafone Derby, in which he was beaten in a four-way photograph after veering badly right in the closing stages on only his second start in public. Hala Bek suffered a throat infection afterwards, which denied him the opportunity to take his place in the Irish Derby, but connections appear hopeful that he can pursue an autumn campaign. Trainer Michael Jarvis said: “Hala Bek has had a throat operation and started cantering again last week. It is too early to be talking about targets but we should know more in a month’s time." Olympian Odyssey, who finished third in the 2,000 Guineas before picking up a minor leg problem when 12th in the Prix du Jockey-Club, has returned to light exercise, with the Champion Stakes at Newmarket his end-of-season objective. Charlie Hills, son and assistant to trainer Barry, said of Bill Gredley's colt: "He sustained a small hairline fracture on the inside of a knee and needed a bit of rest and recuperation. He's back in full work now after a break at Mr Gredley's stud. He looks well and is moving good in his cantering paces. "The aim is the Champion Stakes, which dad has won with Storming Home and Haafhd. Whatever happens, Olympian Odyssey will make a lovely horse next year."

I guess this will be the last update for quite some time. A shame.....
At least he's with Jarvis. He'll be back. From Racing Post..... Hala Bek won't return this season by Robert Pratt HALA BEK, a close but unlucky fourth behind Sir Percy in the Vodafone Derby, will not run again this season. He looked to have a winning chance in the Epsom Classic only to swerve badly right in the closing stages on what was just his second start in public. He was then being prepared for the Budweiser Irish Derby only to be ruled out of the Curragh Classic with a throat infection. The son of Halling had recovered from the setback and was back cantering in Newmarket last month with connections considering a possible tilt at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. But trainer Michael Jarvis said: "He won't run again this year. We've run out of time and things are just not quite right." Last edited by my miss storm cat : 09-05-2006 at 03:26 PM.
