Ultimate Sniper Update

Recommended Posts

It was a disappointment in a way that ULTIMATE SNIPER came up with a bad report from an immediate racing point of view but on the other hand we were pleased in a way because it has achieved what we set out to do sending him up north which was to extend his career by not pushing him too hard at this stage.

Natalie thought there was something just niggling him and it was in the knee and she was right. It is just an immaturity thing, too much pressure put on when the body is not quite ready for it. We see it often enough these days when you look at the times these young horses are needing to run and having found the problem here we can do something about it and extend his racing career long term. He is such a genuine horse he is doing it even when parts of him are not really ready for it,

At this stage he would be back in the stable in August. We are talking about Auckland in December but all going well he would probably be ready for a race at the Cup meeting if he were back at that time. So we will just have to wait and see. In some ways this is good news because there is no injury.
