Elk’s stringhalt sparks calls for veterinary check at Randwick
The Elk, the favorite in Randwick’s Nursery Handicap, displayed a severe stringhalt issue in two year olds. Critics urge stewards and the club’s veterinary surgeon to examine the colt before races, citing public money at risk and contrasting his earlier strong effort against Pan Pipe. Many Ways won the race, with trainer C Windred and owner Mr Kenterson noted amid the upset, while other runners faltered or faded.
