Whobegotyou Gears Up For Spring

Duel Group one winner Whobegotyou is back in training in preparation for the spring.

The Mark Kavanagh-trained four year old was given a few weeks to recover after he stripped flesh from a hind tendon when unplaced as favourite in the Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm on June 12.

Stable manager Merv Harvey said Whobegotyou's injury had healed well and the Street Cry gelding had arrived from Queensland at the Rockmount pre-training facility in Longwood to spend the next two weeks in the water walker.

"He arrived there on Thursday and he looks in really good order and the leg is fine," Harvey said.

"He will spend a couple of weeks in the water walker and then come to Flemington."

Harvey said whobegotyou would follow a weight-for-age campaign in the spring but would be entered for all the major spring races including the Cox PLate and the Melbourne Cup.

He said Whobegotyou could resume as early as next month.

"The water walker gets them pretty fit and he will probably just need a couple of sharp hit outs on the track."

Kavanagh's leading spring hopes are already back in work at Flemington after all pretraining at Rockmount, including Melbourne Cup winner Shocking, Shamoline Warrior, Sound Journey, Valentine Miss, Here De Angels, We're Gonna Rock, Definitely Ready, Cat's Pajamas and Zantelagh.

"Most of them will be ready to have a jump out at the end of July and kick off at Caulfield on August 14," Harvey said.
