Universal Truth

hope so as i hae bet it - tipped up by pricewise a few weeks ago at 16/1

Youre right frankie. On the 8th Sept it came in from 16/1 to 12/1.

Weld has won this race before. I think it was Vintage Crop with Walter Swinburn in the saddle.

Weld has basically shut up shop in Ireland as regards winners so be wary about taking too short a price.

Weld won last two races at Dundalk.

and they won well!

The horse ran ok i thought. Everything seemed to go wrong. Didn't like ground sweated up massively before race, then seemed to get knocked around and raced keenly. Yet 4f out still there travelling strongly before fading at the end (it looked a doubtful stayer anyway)

Next time out (prob over hurdles) I think the horse will redeem its reputation

Universal Truth picked up injury in Cesarewitch
Universal Truth which started favourite for yesterday's Totesport.com Cesarewitch at Newmarket is likely to be on the easy list for some time.

Dermot Weld's charge appeared to be travelling strongly inside the final half mile of the end of season marathon, but weakened tamely to finish towards the rear.


Weld reported this morning: "Universal Truth has a suspected pelvic injury following yesterday's race. The horse recieved a bump and collided with the running rail with around four furlongs to race and this is where I believe the injury occurred."


"All plans for Universal Truth will be put on hold until we get clarification about the extent of his injuries."
