Dragon’s National bid waiting on the weather

THE forecast for the next week starting tomorrow is that it will be very unsettled so we’re adopting a wait-and-see policy before deciding what to do with Dragon Pulse.

We have until noon on Monday to supplement him for the National Stakes so we would certainly like to see some rain before that deadline if we are to take that chance. But we’ll just have to see what happens.

Bob Le Beau has been entered for the Melbourne Cup now and we’ll just see what weight he gets and what the cut-off will be before we make a decision on that too. It’s a target I mentioned here a couple of months ago and in the meantime, he’ll go for the 1m 4f listed race at Listowel.
