The spring carnival for Bart
Cummings' crack sprinter Taikun is over before it starts.
The lightly raced son of Anabaa
has been banned for three months after suffering a bi-lateral bleeding attack
at the Canterbury barrier trials today.
A seven time winner, Taikun was
being set for feature sprint races over the upcoming Melbourne and Sydney
spring carnivals. Instead he will now be forced to the paddock for a long
break. He is not allowed to race for three months.
Taikun finished out of a place
in the trial that was won by the Gary Portelli trained Bunkum.
Other winners at the trials
included Cateclipse, Mr Ubiquitous and Port Peru.
