The long-awaited comeback of superstar pacer Ride High is near, with trainer Clayton Tonkin forecasting a potential return to the races in the next “three to four weeks”.
Tonkin has spoken glowingly about the progress of the six-year-old, who is on the recovery trail from a minor suspensory injury that halted his campaign in October last year.
“He’s really good, I’m really happy with him to be honest,” he told Sky Racing Radio’s On The Pace.
“It’s one of those things where I don’t have a set sort of race I want to aim for, but at this stage he’s coming along really good. He looks super.
“We’ve got our water walker going at the minute so it’s been a huge asset…”
Ride High, a winner in 16 of 18 career starts, had his 11-race streak snapped when he finished fifth in the TAB Smoken Up Sprint in October before follow-up scans revealed a leg issue.
