Connections of Chautauqua have not given up hope on the Champion sprinter after he failed to leave the gates once again in a trial at Rosehill this morning.
Chautauqua failed to leave the gates on four occasions earlier in the year before successfully completing one jump-out at Flemington on July 13.
“It’s only July. We’ve got plenty of time to get him ready for The Everest,” Legh told RSN927.
“We’ve got a slot and we’re not about to give that slot away.
“This might be one of those lifetime books and this is the last chapter with everyone wondering if he’ll come out and race again.
“Let’s hope he can continue his career and win The 2018 Everest.”
But before an Everest start can be contemplated. Legh said Chautauqua’s health, both mentally and physically, was No.1.
