All's well with The Warrior

Graham reports-
"Just got off the phone to Wayne Alchin at Carramar Park at Grose Wold.
All's well with 'The Warrior'. He came through the gelding operation with flying colours and lived up to his name! He will be up there for at least another 5 weeks and Gerald and I will keep an eye on him - as will Wayne of course - and report back. We will probably be up at the farm next week looking at the yearlings Wayne is taking to the Melbourne Yearling Sales - including a full sister to 'The Warrior'!"

That's racing

Unfortunately Khamsin Warrior's first preparation has suffered a minor setback. He is experiencing a bout of shin soreness , common with two-year olds in their first preparation, and has been sent for a short spell.

Since trainer Gerald Ryan says he is a bit too colty for his own good he will be gelded during this break and return to Rosehill a more robust and tractable horse, albeit 'two stone' lighter.

Gerald is confident that the all new KW will "make the grade".
