A few things come to mind-

1.If 680 people pay $1000 each ($680000) they have every right to question what is happening with the horses they own.(Apparently the whole Club Waugh syndicate was created to allow the battler to race horses)
2.Nobody expected to race horses in the city week in week out and I certainly realise how lucky we are to have a horse who can win in Sydney (Harrykay-Rosehill and Randwick)plus a second horse at the provincials(Magestic Gem at Gosford).As for Harrys perfomance yesterday we'll just call that horseracing and expect an improvement the next start.(they are not machines -even Nuclear Medicine has lost races!)
3.Club Waugh Number 3 Prospectus states "At the end of the three year period shareholders will vote to continue racing or sell the horses to liquidate the company with the assets being distributed to the shareholders."(key word "shareholders"I think we have a little bit of power.
I think the majority of CW3 members are happy with their investment but are dissapointed with the lack of communiction
By the way thanks for your expert opinion on his performance yesterday-beaten first up against older horses(he is a 3 year old) I'm sure he will improve(his record stands up pretty well anyway)
Don't flame people who are passionate in their investment-no matter how small it is to you-Thankyou

nuclear medicine ran third beaten a nose by nose, carrying 62kgs dip*****. He also came down the worst part of the track. The other 2 times he has lost this prep he has had to do all the work from bad barriers and just got pipped on the line. I would say a 3 length victory (going away from them in the last 100m) in his last start is enough for me to think he will win better races. Harrykay got away with a few "metro" races during/straight after EI when 3/4 of the metro horses were coming back from EI.

Harrykay will not win another metro race. BTW racing and sports has his prizemoney at $90,000 to.

"Harrykay (AUS) ch g Foaled 2004

Before Wednesday which I think he earned $540

obviously you are counting BOBS bonuses, which racing and sports doesn't.

last week at wyong

For those in CWR3, i found this whilst surfn, this is what was is wrong with Majestic, am sure it was the sus ligament, i went through the club updates and could not find the 1 where they mentioned it, doesnt mean its not there tho, this lady gave this info to a guy on another forum, pity we dont get info like this!!!!!!!

As a general rule of thumb most suspensory injuries will require about 6 months to heal, however if your horse has reaggrevated a previous injury the timespan may differ slightly, and return to work is usually dictated by evidence of healing on ultrasound examination. Treatment and management of injuries also varies depending on exactly where (upper part of ligament or down lower in the branches) and what type of damage the horse has suffered.

There are basically 2 types of supensory strains. The first is a discrete loss of ligament type structure in a particular area, and is called a core lesion. The rolls royce treatment for this particular type of injury is to inject the core with stem cells or stem cell attracting products to get best degree of healing. This is usually combined with a rehab program and will result in a slightly quicker return to full work. Success rate is about 90%. Alternatively rest combined with icing in the initial stages will result in healing of the area, however as the area will be healed with fibrous tissue and not true ligament tissue the repaired area is always weaker and more prone to reinjury. Return to work in these cases can be as low as 65% in front legs, and can be as long as 12 months depending on the amount of ligament involved.

If the lesion is not discrete but a more diffuse tear the best option for treatment is shockwave therapy, which involves using a machine to pass high pressure sound waves through the area and basically 'shock' the tissue into healing better as it promotes stem cell migration. Therapy is usually in the form of 3 sessions 3 weeks apart followed by a rehab program. The success rate for that treatment is about 80-85%. Alternatively rest can just be used again, usually you are looking at the same success rate as described above.

Thanks for the informative information, it was great, as you say, wish the website explained things in detail so the members would understand why it takes so long about Magestic Gems injury but you summed it up beautifully. I take my cowgirl hat off to you . I am affraid human relations and communication are not strong points of the CLUB WAUGH administration, and its like pulling teeth to get professional updates. For CW#2 members poor Bumpa didnt have a good day. Never mind there is always next time .
Happy Punting

Anyone see Bumpas run. I missed it and could only acess the place getters. Dis she storm home late as usual?
