Taksan 10 Report post Posted June 11, 2022 What a tremendous win and comeback story for Alligator Blood victorious in the time honoured Gp. 1 Stradbroke Handicap. It was the first Stradbroke win for Gai Waterhouse and she is reported as saying it is one of her finest training accomplishments in her legendary career. She made a special mention of the work co-trainer Adrian Bott had done with the horse and how having a happy horse enjoying their work helped lead to this result. Plenty of emotion surrounding this Gp. 1 win with Alligator Blood's owner Allan Endresz's wife desperately ill. jack, Memphis3, swampfox and 3 others 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis3 1,222 Report post Posted June 12, 2022 Yeh I was thinking that. Looks like Catalyst came off second best. The owner watched it on his phone with his wife who couldn’t comprehend what was happening g she is so sick. Poor lady. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohokaman 5,763 Report post Posted June 12, 2022 Very sad and emotional story with his wife Joy being terminally ill. Couldn’t open her eyes yesterday to watch the race with him. Great effort by Gai and the team to get him back after kissing spine surgery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis3 1,222 Report post Posted June 12, 2022 43 minutes ago, We're Doomed said: And disqualified from his magic millions win because he was drugged up. Float was stuck in traffic around an accident site. Horse panicked and was given something to calm it. Obviously shouldn’t have raced after that but not really “drugged up” On a red hot day We're Doomed and swampfox 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
