The Boy Who Lived.....

[my miss storm cat]

He's been ruled out.

Give him a kiss for me, Moodwalker.

He's an amazing horse..... a shame he didn't pass the vet exam but at least this way we know he's safe.

Still though..... it's a sad day.

Watch for some more news on it this week. He might run after all

Oh well..... it was not to be.

Tell him he's loved.

[Scurlogue Champ]

Yep, he is out. Went for stem cell surgery today and is being gelded later this month. The other horse they brought named Bay Story is going to run on Melbourne Cup day and Kieren Fallon galloped him this morning.

He is doing pretty well from what the English lads say.

Thanks for the update and here's hoping this gallant boy came out of surgery okay.

[Scurlogue Champ]

He did, they went to pick him up today

[my miss storm cat]

Hey Moodwalker.....

Next time you're around please give an update.....

Thanks!

[my miss storm cat]

I was floored to see his name here!

Had NO idea he had a run last month.....

YEA!!! WELCOME BACK!!!

I hold my breath every time he's entered.

Isn't it time to let him call it a day now?
