The prognosis is that he should be able to race again but we might only get two more seasons of light racing out of him.Ken Breckon, ownerThe news has gone from bad to worse for champion trotter I Can Doosit, who will not race again this year.
The dual Interdominion champion has already missed the rich autumn carnivals in Australia, where he was set to start favourite in races worth A$675,000.
The connections of the great horse were forced to pull him out of the first of those features, the A$200,000 Glenferrie Farm Challenge in Sydney on March 3, after a nagging fetlock problem.
That saw him return home to New Zealand for surgery and owner Ken Breckon has admitted to the Herald his veterinarian did not like what he found when he operated on I Can Doosit.
"The wear and tear in his fetlock is worse than we first thought," said Breckon.
