Slick veteran faces early Vet check

Cox Plate rank outsider Sir Slick will have to pass a Veterinary check before he is allowed to take his place in Australia’s weight-for-age title race.
Reports from Mornington suggested that the $126 roughie appeared sore in his off fore hoof.
Racing Victoria’s chief veterinary surgeon Paul O’Callaghan today travelled to the Mornington stables of trainer Graeme Nicholson to inspect Sir Slick.
No decision was made on the spot but O’Callaghan will inspect the horse again before 7.30am on raceday at which time a decision will be made on whether the veteran Sir Slick takes his place in the $3,000,000 Cox Plate at Moonee Valley.
