Chautauqua slow to jump, nearly wins trial

Chautauqua has once again failed to jump with the rest of the field in a barrier trial at Rosehill with his career all but over despite going close to winning.

Connections are likely to argue the horse jumped but was just slow although it is likely to be the end of Champion sprinter Chautauqua’s career, at least in Australia.

More to come…

Once again Chautauqua has failed to exit the barriers effectively. He was, however, very competitive down the straight, making up a huge amount of ground for a close second to Zousain. pic.twitter.com/dTWUIkzRh9
