Timor Blue unlikely to race again

Timor Blue is unlikely to race again after sustaining a serious wrist injury in a first bend fall in last weekend’s Kerry Agribusiness Irish St Leger final at Limerick.

Timor Blue unlikely to race again

“Unfortunately, our worst fears have been confirmed” said Morrissey yesterday. “Veterinary examination confirmed a damaged ligament in the wrist. In fact the wrist is out of place and has been put in a cast. I have been told that he has very little chance of racing again but obviously we will give him every chance.

It is tough luck on Morrissey and owner Larry O’Shea who has a big string of greyhounds and has enjoyed considerable success in recent years, landing two classics with Indesacjack (Leger) and Almightyjack (Sprint Cup).
