Captain Ravishing back in work after lengthy break

Captain Ravishing is back in work and being set for some of Victoria’s big features later this year.

Trainer Ahmed Taiba provided thetrots.com.au with a brief update on his high-profile pacer, who hasn’t been seen at the races since his runner-up placing to star rival Catch A Wave in the Breeders Crown Championship on November 18.

The TAB Eureka placegetter, Group 1 winner and Melton track record holder has enjoyed a long break, with Taiba saying he needed time to rest after vets discovered some “bone soreness” in a hind pastern following his most recent campaign.

“They recommended about three months off and he’s had a bit more than that. We are just going to go light with him for the next month or six weeks,” Taiba said.

“I’m looking for a six-month build-up and then really target those big races we’ve got here before Christmas.”

Captain Ravishing has won nine of his 18 career starts for prizemoney earnings up over $500,000.
