Hope this is not true but it would explain his trial form

Apache Cat out of Scheweppes.
He has a bruised hock,so this race now turns into a bit of a letdown for the Moonee Valley racing club,as there maybe only 6 horses to run now after Bird Dancer raced at Geelong today.

Cat out of Schweppes clash
Story By Jason Hickson




Wednesday, 24 October 2007: The much awaited return class of top mares Miss Finland and Gold Edition in Saturday's Group 2 Schweppes Stakes is looking more like a match race with Apache Cat ruled out.

The popular Greg Eurell-trained galloper was set to return in the 1200m race at Moonee Valley but has bruised a hock and won't be 100 per cent.

A frustrated Eurell said the injury was very minor but won't be running Apache Cat against the top mares when not at his best.

“He'll be alright – he's just kicked out at something and knocked himself,” Eurell said.

“There's a little bruising and he'll get over a quickly but it couldn't have come at a worse time.

“I was really looking forward to seeing him take on the two good mares but won't be doing it when he's not 100 per cent.”

Eurell said Apache Cat will have some light work over the next few days then be aimed at the Group 2 The Age Classic (1200m) up the straight at Flemington on Emirates day.

Following his run at Flemington Apache Cat will go into quarantine at Sandown then head to Hong Kong in early December for the Cup meeting.

Nooooooooooooooo!

That's a shame.

At least we know he'll be okay so I guess we should try to see the bright side.

Thanks for the news.

Damn.

Who we backing tonight?

I'm leaning towards Divine Madonna, but they aren't closing from the back like at the Heath.

Maybe Lad Of The Manor...

Anyone else firing?
