MELBOURNE, Aug 27 AAP - The Bart Cummings stable has told Racing
Victoria (RVL) stewards it is happy with So You Think's
condition going into his first-up run in Saturday's Memsie
Stakes at Caulfield.
RVL stewards sought clarification on Friday from the Cummings
stable on the condition of the reigning Cox Plate winner prior
to the four-year-old returning to racing.
"The stable have confirmed that it established following the
horse's last campaign that So You Think did not fully abduct on
the left hand side of its larynx and that a procedure was
performed some six months ago to correct the anomaly," the
stewards reported.
"The stable have expressed their satisfaction with So You
Think's preparation in the lead-up to tomorrow's New Zealand
Bloodstock Memsie Stakes."
So You Think hasn't raced since finishing second in the Emirates
Stakes (1600m) at Flemington last November.
The son of High Chaparral did not race in the autumn after the
Cummings stable was not happy with him after he had a jumpout at
Flemington.
He had two jumpouts at Flemington before his scheduled return in
the JJ Liston Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield two weeks ago, but was
scratched the day before the race due to the rain-affected
track.
