Racing Victoria has announced that Deny Knowledge and Young Werther will undergo re-inspections by veterinarians on Friday ahead of Saturday’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup. The decision comes after vets noticed changes in the gait of both horses during Thursday’s routine inspections.
Deny Knowledge, who secured an impressive all-the-way win in the Group 1 Might And Power Stakes last Saturday, is currently listed as a $12 chance for the Caulfield Cup 2024. Meanwhile, Young Werther, trained by Danny O’Brien, is priced at $21 with betting sites.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Racing Victoria stewards confirmed the re-inspections, expressing concerns about the horses’ movement. Both horses will undergo further evaluations today, with updates expected as the final decision on their fitness is made.
