Update on Legislate

Thanks to the Snaiths

Thanks Snaiths, at least if you back him now you will get a refund if scratched.

Would it not be appropriate that the NHRA Vet gives this horse a clearance to run also considering his MR and the status of the Race. I don't for one moment doubt the Snaith's Vet but it would be good PR for the NHRA Vet to give his/her stamp of approval also.

Must agree with you Mr.H, for a high profile horse and shocking last run, it will be in the punter's interest to be given assurance of it's well-being.

I'm sure that's how it's done in the land of OZ............will our lot never improve?

There VET does not have the correct equipment.

From the sportingpost


“After the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate pull-up, our jockey Richard Fourie confirmed that Legislate had coughed a good few times. We thought he had bled and our Vet Dave Timpson’s subsequent lung wash revealed mucous, puss and blood. It was awful.”

Snaith said the assistance of a world renowned immunologist – a Dr Holland from the USA – had been elicited and the results had been positive.

“It is remarkable how the infection has cleared and there is only a tiny bit of blood left now,” he said reassuringly.

In his words, he said that he felt Legislate had put up a ‘superb gallop on Thursday.’

“Obviously we could not work a sick horse and can not make up for the work he has lost. That is why I personally feel that Futura is the horse to beat. He has had a great prep in contrast,’ said Snaith.

He said that medication would have to be stopped 5 days prior to the race and Legislate’s work would be closely monitored on Tuesday whereafter another lung wash would be taken.

“At the moment he is a runner, but we will keep the public updated day by day. Hopefully by Friday we will know where we stand.”

Any updates on the well being of Legislate after his workout today or are tests still being done?

this horse should have been scratched at final declarations.
does not matter what is communicated by the yard.
Bets are being held back to avoid deductions
maybe people in the know are getting onto Legislate at longer odds than maybe should be

if they scratch lotsa unhappy people
if they run and finished last unhappy people
if they run and win lotsa unhappy people

The deduction vs the adjusted price should he not run equates to the same thing

I absolutely agree with you. But not the tote.

Legislate out of Met.
