Well, it was a sad and horrific day for me at the SLLP, after my horse figured in a near fatal accident at the starting gate . This was a big event and I was expecting MR, VICTORY to win but he ran without a jockey.
He was caught by a two horses sandwiching him leaving the jockey with no choice but to pull up. This caused the horse tio misstep and then stumble at the gate... It was a nightmare for me to watch my prized horse running around the track, not knowing what will happen to him. A month ago, I saw Putch Puyat's horse FENG SHUI die after gouing around for times at the SLLP track. thanks for having an intelligent racehorse like Mr. Victory who was really conscious of possible accidents as he carefully walked back to his stables....
After examination, he just had a slight bruise at this leg. Nothing to worry about so , we would be running him this Saturday or Sunday for a tune-up race....
At least , he was star. His spill was covered with a very nice picture at the sports section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer today..
On another note, this afternoon, my other horse, MISS VICTORY will be running her first barrier trial race at the Sta. Ana Park in Makati..... Let's see how she performs....
ciao..
