TC will have to combine the 2 Palais threads we have running (the other includes this gem)

"Stewards opened an inquiry into an injury sustained by Palais Du Louvres owner during the 66th replay of the tab.com.au pace at 2am Saturday morning. The owner could only provide a hazy recollection of events. He stated that when going for a run between the couch and the recliner on the way to the fridge for another beer he commenced to hang in and contacted the coffee table causing him to become unbalanced and gallop for a few strides.

A subsequent examination revealed bruising to the nearside front. The owner has been stood down from future engagements until a certificate of soundness is produced."

It will be interesting to see if the owner has to front the stewards again

Congratulations Paul. Good to see you enjoying the thrills that this sport can provide.

Thanks everyone. That was just magic! A huge, huge thrill. Cannot be any prouder of Yun and Leigh. And what a super, super drive.

Leigh has done an unbelievable job with him. Had lots of problems but Leighs dedication and hard work kept him going. You won't find anyone better.

The coffee table had been moved by time I got into the house tonight. The replay count is leading the beer count at the moment... but not for long!! Hope am not swabbed in morning!

I take it that the owner produced a certificate of soundness prior to yesterday's performance.
Is there any word on whether he is now to return to the trials (or the kitchen) due any further unruly (or unbalanced efforts) following yesterday's efforts by his wonderful horse?

If so he needs to be careful the horse does not disown him. After all that's what owners often do to their unruly horses.!!

Congrats Paul and Co.

Well done again Paul. And to Leigh who is indeed a very good trainer who doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Hope you both have a massive hangover.

Thanks teecee!!

10ml of bute and a day off Friday definitely helped. I was still a bit scratchy Saturday but passed fit to run after being trotted up the driveway Sunday morning. Addition of a lugging pole and a set of spreaders definitely helped with the hanging problem last night (I'm told).

Thanks Nathan and yes massive hangover for me. Not Leigh though. He had horses to work this morning.

I took the easy way out and rang in crook.
Was asked "Sickness, injury, etc?"
Said is there a box to tick that says 'All of the above'?
"No but there is one that says 'Other'".
Yep other is good, tick other.
"Now I need to put a reason next to it".
OK put 'Still too pissed to drive....'

Breeders Crown traditionally the end of season grand final. Does Mad Monday count as an excuse?

Congratulations! Go Yun!!!
