Tollesprit to have scans on injured legs
Monday, 21 September 2009:
Trainer Shane Fliedner fears Tollesprit's Caulfield Guineas campaign may be over.Fliedner said he would not know until the three-year-old's legs are scanned whether he will be able to train on to the Guineas on October 10.
Tollesprit was injured in Saturday's Guineas Prelude (1400m) and pulled up lame in the off fore leg and with lacerations to both hind legs."He was in the wars and he's not out of them yet," Fliedner said."He is getting some x-rays done tomorrow (Tuesday) to decide whether we go on with him or not."He has been sore but is not as sore at the moment although that doesn't mean there is nothing amiss.
"Tollesprit was one of the leading chances for the Guineas but has drifted dramatically from $13 to $31 with TAB Sportsbet.Fliedner was planning to run Tollesprit in the Listed Poseidon Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on October 3 and then back him up in the Guineas.Only last week he declared Tollesprit was the horse to beat in the Group One feature.
