Barakey fractures knee
X Rays have confirmed Barakey has fractured his knee in the Newmarket last weekend and will need at least six months in the paddock after he is operated on next week.
The Autumn turned out to be a disaster for Barakey after being scratched at the barriers and missing the Oakleigh Plate, then falling victim to injury in the Newmarket.
This is tragic news, not only for connections, but WA racing fans as a whole.

its a wonder he even finished the race with a fractured knee. surely brown realised there was something radically wrong...why did he not pull the horse up?

Yep bummer. All the best to the Barakey connections. The whole Melbourne thing turned out shit but good on 'em for having a crack.

Amazing to me that people bag the approach JT has taken with him thus far. Up until last weekend, he'd earnt $400K in glorified barrier trials, all the while never been screwed down / put under any real pressure for one even one second. Then one real test at h...

As I said previously there had to be something wrong for it to perform that poorly, interrupted prep or not.
