Conservative had his final physio session this morning for his back injury and his physio is pleased with the progress he has made.

Although we have not asked much of him, he has still been going out daily on the gallops to stretch his legs.

I am hoping at the back end of this week, we can start to up his work again. We will assess him first to make sure he is fully over his injury. If he is good to go, I don’t think he will have lost too much of his fitness, so it won’t take him long to get sharp again.

There are still plenty of opportunities in the 2023 Flat season for him, and as he has shown in the past, he is very comfortable on the all-weather.
