Classy WA filly Tuscan Queen might have run her last race.
Tuscan Queen won both the WA Oaks and WATC Derby (2400m) in recent weeks but the Fastnet Rock filly has sustained a tendon injury.
Perth broadcaster TAB Radio reported Tuscan Queen has a tear in a deep flexor tendon, which requires a minimum of 12 months off the scene.
Racing and Wagering WA journalist Julio Santarelli reported the extent of the damage was discovered when vets operated on the three-year-old.
Vets initially treated Tuscan Queen with ice and anti-inflammatory medication but the problem failed to settle, which prompted the surgery.
Owner Bob Peters had the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups in mind for Tuscan Queen in the spring.
TAB had Tuscan Queen as a $26 chance in Caulfield Cup betting.

I don't think anyone should be making excuses for him, he knows the rules as good as anyone and if he doesn't at his age he never will. Zero tolerance should be enforced in my opinion. I don't know him but hope that he sorts himself out. Should be m…

Thanks JJ - have written it down - dosen't mean I understand it as per the several comments after my enquiry. I really pity the poor punter and wonder what is going to happen to our sport now we rely on tote turnover after being steered away from cr…

At one stage Harry had a fish & chip shop in Shenton park. I would go most Fridays with Peter Ologhlen to see Harry at the shop. Every Friday an old lady would come an order a piece of snapper and Harry would give unbeknowns to her a piece of sh…

I can still remember when WA horse Special Test trained by Ian Goddard won the Geelong cup after winning the Kalgoorlie cup. There was no automatic start to the Melbourne cup in those days.

Bob started off paying trying fee's the same as anyone else. Maybe he is more astute at what he doe's than his knockers. Any of the knockers would love to be where he is now in racing. Good luck to him for being better at it than the others as he st…

Ted is Ted, and Gath was Gath, that's the way it was....I was always averse to heavy whip drivers, whoever they were...no, not averse, I just would never let them drive any of mine. I understand Ted had horrendous injuries which no one wishes on any…

When Phil Coulson retired he used L.B.H. when ever he could. Harper drove a lot of winners for me and I rate him a lot better than Jnr. Only my opinion but would never use Hall before Harper.

I can only comment on how I found him. I raced a horse that he had a share in with some one else training it and he was always upfront and easy to get along with.

Best solution is not to talk to any of the media. I have always found Greg Bond to be a good person. Others would maybe have a different opinion than mine but you can only take it as you see them.

i read a story in a book once about George Way doing the same at Pinj. On track before the race he worked out it was the incorrect horse, it was actually a very smart horse that was going to be racing in a maiden. Told the jockey "dont win by too mu…
