If she gets a run Makybe Diva. But I will wait until I see the final fields before I commit myself. My horse Forest Jim is running in the race before the cup.

Ross, I will be in Noosa on Cup day, over several years it has become a tradition to go to the Noosa surf club and party on cup day. If Forest Jim was running in the cup we would be there, but he is not, so the tradition continues.
Thanks for the compliment. Knowing what your business is I am flattered.

Like motor sport, horse racing has it's highs and lows.
Forest Jim badly damaged a suspensory ligament during track work yesterday and his racing career is over. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
During his career Forest Jim won $501,100.00 in stake money.
He had 53 starts, for 8 wins 9 seconds and 4 thirds. He finished in the top 5, 28 times.
We will find him a paddock with sweet grass and a few old mates to retire too.

Really sorry to hear about the horse Pete /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif.I was about to put a pile of money on it too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
They seem to be as fragile as a stock 302w when pushed to the limits /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Anyhow have an extra beer for me at the Neoousa club /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sorry too about the horse Pete but I'm not a gambler so i'll stick to mechanical horses.Thanks Chris you no doubt have read my dnf explanation on the board elsewhere.Not a cheap business this.An interesting point from the admirers of the 40 at Sandown is that when I travel up the back straight
they can't see my car above the armco.

Thanks guys, it appears now after more scans that Forest Jim's injury is not as bad as we feared. It seems the tendon was not torn but was badly bruised. He will still be out for an extended spell but may be able to race again. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
