Welcome to Newstart Racing!

 Since HeyCrackers had such an unlucky run at Newcastle last time, we had plenty to think about, deciding on the best way forward to give him all the confidence he deserves and strength, to perform to his best next time out.  As the results came back from his ‘Overground Scope’ up the gallops, a couple of weeks ago, it was clear to see areas in his throat that could be a hinderance to him while the pressure in on in the final stages of a race, when maximum respiratory stability is required.  HeyCrackers was booked in for a visit to the Hospital and he had a couple of days away while the operation took place. HeyCrackers received the all clear with a successful operation taking place, with no concerns from the veterinary team involved. They said he was a pleasure to deal with, and a horse who has the best character, bless him.  As it can be expected, it is difficult for them to eat straight after an operation on their throat, so as expected you can see the difference in weight on the scales, from when he left the yard, to when he returned home. HeyCrackers will have a few easy weeks, on the walker and out in the paddock to give him the time to heal as well on the inside, to the happy spirits he still shows us on the outside. He has already started to regain weight and he's showing no concerns as he enjoys his play time out in the paddock each day.
