coolavanny bert

broke down first round at sunderland when well clear i havnt heard anymore about it but looked like a hock injury to me (didnt look good great shame if racing career cut short)
will be interested to see if anybody knows

Someone been in a cave!!!

garryb, broke hock at Sunderland, clean break, vet says 75% chance he will race again, gonna have some straws/matings when better in few weeks and vet says ready

ok Swayne thanks for that was away working for 1 month so missed the sunderland race.

Dont wanna talk in the past tense, but was a great dog. Very rare they can recapture their best after a hock but it occasionally happens, lets hope so

I heard he has been retired and he is living the life of luxury with the next door neighbour!

met with Bert for dinner in central London last Thursday, he is walking and putting weight on hock, albeit obviously limping, but in good spirits. Remains with John his owner/trainer at home, plan remains the same, serve some bitches in few weeks, and trainer hopes against hope he will heal and be back racing.

john will do the best for bert
