Khamsin may be Arabic for 'fifty' but it could also be Aussie for 'heartbreaker'. Just when the owners were starting to think about what hat to wear for his first start in only a few weeks we got the following news-

11/07/08 After galloping on Thursday morning the horse pulled up shin sore; was quite excited about him as his work the last week has been really good; we have been fighting shin soreness with him sometime now and it doesn't look like we are winning. Will go to Carramar Park today for 4 to 6 weeks which may turn out
for the best as he has had an interrupted preparation.
Regards, Gerald Ryan

That's another win he owes us.
