"I just couldn't possibly sustain that sprint for any longer. We've only ever bought Group One horses over here and we've run about three seconds. "The ground I made in the run he produced between the 800 and 600 was outstanding. "I think she can come back in the spring and be anything." Not that it was the 1600 metres that ruled him out, it was just the run I had on him." "Unfortunately he didn't begin as well as his last one so I threw Plan A out the door and I was quickly pushed in behind and out the back under a muddling tempo early," jockey Damian Lane said. "We think we'll take her home and come back in the spring." "We'll chat to the owners but we think as far as we're concerned she should have a bit of a break and then come back and dream about Cox Plates," Kelso said. Will require further surgery. "At the time I thought I could get through and make room for myself but as it turns out, no."
