Pegasus 9

“Distressing vision of one of Darren Weir's prized horses being tormented with an electric prod in preparation for last year's Melbourne Cup may be a crucial piece of evidence in the case against the disgraced trainer and two of his associates.The emergence of the video at the start of a new spring carnival directly links the Weir scandal to Australia's greatest horse race.Video footage obtained by Victoria Police detectives and shown to racing authorities shows Red Cardinal being "jiggered" in the neck by stablehand Tyson Kermond as it "jog trots" on a treadmill inside Weir's Warrnambool stables.The footage, which runs for about 20 seconds, allegedly shows Weir and stable foreman Jarrod McLean looking on as the horse is repeatedly subjected to the painful ordeal on the weekend before the running of the Cup.”

Very sad news.

Tragic news. RIP Roaring Lion.

I have since found out that this is not Lawson the bowler. Sincere apologies, I should have made sure of the facts.

Also R Lawson, is he the bowler chap who now owns a bar in ChCh.

Feel sorry for the poor horse. What does the future hold for it? Edit. Obviously breeding, hopefully.

Looks like Art Deco Otaki R5 is scratched

“GUESS WHO IS HOME?! A day I think that we can safely say that we were not sure would happen. He is back home in his paddock (with a stable in it) with his toasty warm WeatherBeeta - Australia rug filling his belly with yummy Hygain feed and little bits of grass around his paddock. He came home and ran laps of his paddock checking every inch of the paddock for any changes. You would think that he was 11yo not 31yo! If not for the incredible team at the Bendigo Equine Clinic (Victorian Equine Group) there would be absolutely no way we would have our incredible boy home. The whole team here from the incredible vets, the vet nurses and all other staff cannot do enough for their equine patients and their two legged families. The incredible prayers, well wishes and kind thoughts from hundreds if not thousands of people all across social media and who messaged me and text me, every kind thought shared with us means so incredibly much to Subbie, my family and I, we cannot express how grateful we are to each and every one of you. Mum has just gone out to do an evening check on him and he is very happy and content, picking at some grass that has grown around his water trough while he was in hospital. He has also been eating his dinner. Many people say Subbie must be half cat as he has 9 lives, I think he must be half lion because I think we have passed the 9 lives! But no more, Subbie! You need to stop keeping us on our toes now! Just a couple of photos now he is home. He would have both ears pricked if he wasn't keeping one warm under his rug and excuse the filthy nose, he loves to rub on everything that he should not.”

Since Talk hasn’t updated replacement Belmont R6 scratching with #9 thanks should be 13

Are these deemed to be late scratching ?
