What a difference a day makes.................... Just when all the horses were running to their optimum abilities, we have a day like yesterday!
APPLEADAY disappoints at Carlisle and when we 'scope' him this morning we find a load of mucus in his lungs. His tracheal wash was clean on thursday, but he must have succombed to an infection during friday which was probably then exacerbated by a four hour journey up the M6.
A nasty shock for all involved as we thought the track would have suited this horse well, although i do admit that the ground deteriated even more than we would have hoped. The important thing is to quickly find a good reason for such a bad run and to treat him immediately.
There was always a chance that SARANDO's season should have ended at Cheltenham.
