Bentley Biscuit.....

Paratroopers' career up in the air
Sunday, 23 March 2008:

Sydney racing has lost one of its favourite gallopers with the retirement of Bentley Biscuit and now the career of another Group One winner in Paratroopers is also at the crossroads.

Trainer Gai Waterhouse confirmed Bentley Biscuit would not race again after suffering a massive bleeding attack during Saturday's The Galaxy at Randwick.

The six-year-old failed to finish the race and was walked back to the mounting enclosure by Nash Rawiller whose riding silks and pants were stained with blood spots.

"It's tragic he broke down, I loved the horse and I was a bit upset by it," Rawiller said.

"He was a stable favourite."

A three-time Group One winner, the flashy chestnut with the white blaze retired as the winner of 12 of his 23 starts and almost $1.5 million in prizemoney.

His final major in Sydney was his All-Aged Stakes victory 12 months ago, the same race that gave Paratroopers his breakthrough Group One win a year earlier.

The Peter Snowden-trained five-year-old appeared to have broken down when a long last in the Apollo Stakes earlier this month but veterinarians could find nothing seriously amiss so Snowden sent him to the paddock for a freshen-up.

The Expressway Stakes winner had only recently returned from a throat operation and while he is now back in work at Warwick Farm and tentatively being aimed towards a start in next month's TJ Smith Stakes at Randwick, Snowden says he won't take any risks with him.

"I'll give him a good trial and if he doesn't fire then he won't race ever again," Snowden said.

"He's in the TJ Smith on the 26th of April. He came back into work last week and he was snorting his tail off.

"He loves being in work and he loves his racing."

The Group One TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) is at Randwick on April 26.
