Lochinvar Art is likely to be sent to Luke and Belinda McCarthy's Cobbitty Equine Farm in August as part of his comeback from injury and to begin life as a stallion.

David Moran told thetrots.com.au that the horse was doing well in his recovery from what has been revealed as a cracked cannon bone, with sights set first and foremost on a return to racing, but also the opportunity to breed during an extended time away from the racetrack.

Lochinvar Art's last appearance at the races was in the $500,000 Del-Re National A.G. Hunter Cup at Tabcorp Park Melton on February 6, which he won to claim a seventh Group 1 feature.

He had been aimed towards the Miracle Mile in early March, but ongoing injury issues eventually saw those plans abandoned.

"He's good. He's here in a box and had his first day out in a small sand yard yesterday. He can go to a big paddock next week sort of thing and spend three months there," Moran, the regular driver and partner of the horse's current trainer Kasey Kent, said.

While breeding is part of the plan, Moran said the main goal while at Cobbitty Equine Farm in New South Wales was to prepare for a return to the racetrack.

"He'll rehab and pre-train, so that will be his main goal. They've got all the facilities there - treadmill, water walkers, hill tracks and all that sort of stuff," he said.

"And in the meantime, we will collect (semen) and he will serve mares while he is doing that.

"Obviously, the crack in the cannon bone, that's his biggest concern... getting that to heal and to take - it's just time.

"Hopefully, touch wood, we can try and get him a full book of mares and set it at a price that it will attract people.

"Providing he comes back to racing with a full bill of health and stays sound, they may not get a mare to him for the next two years sort of thing."
