Globe’s winter carnival hopes dashed by water walker incident
Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr. have decided to pause Globe’s campaign following an incident with a water walker.
The talented racehorse encountered a setback during training when he playfully collided with the water walker resulting in a shoulder injury, as explained by co-trainer Kent.
Despite this setback, the trainers remain hopeful for Globe’s future.
Last September, Globe made headlines when he trailed home the Feehan Stakes field, with it later revealed he had cardiac arrhythmia.
Nonetheless, the team had aspirations for him in the Queensland Winter Carnival.
In other news, Price and Kent are currently deliberating whether to send Warmonger, who secured second place in the South Australian Derby, to compete in the Queensland Derby or allow him some rest in the paddock.
A decision is expected soon.
The Price Kent team had a great Saturday with Warmonger, Angland and Wee Nessy coming in second in races spanning three states.
Moby Dick also showed promise after a break in the spelling paddock following a fifth-place finish in the Vobis Gold Dash weekend.
With these challenges, Price and Kent stay positive and prioritise their horses welfare as they tackle the hurdles of the racing season.
