Blacks A Fake spelled by Rasmussen
1:54 PM 16-May-2008

Trainer-driver Natalie Rasmussen has declared her pride-and-joy, Blacks A Fake as 'too valuable to risk' and has spelled the champion. Swelling in the off hock has meant that 'Blackie' would miss tonight's (May 16) $50,000 Group Two Gold Coast Bulletin Cup at the Gold Coast.

He will now also miss the Group One $100,000 Trans Tasman at Albion Park on May 24.

'Miss Inter Dominion' said the injury is not career-threatening, but she wants to ensure that the Fake Left gelding has his shot at races such as the SEW Eurodrive Miracle Mile (Harold Park) and Watpac Inter Dominion (Albion Park next season.

The withdrawal of Blacks A Fake saw Rasmussen take the drive behind Good Lookin Girl in the Gold Coast feature.

The only decision Nat would have ever made. She would never risk him. Not only is the MM on the agenda but the record 4th ID is also there for the taking.

I know natalie rassmussen and she would never risk her horse what she does would be the right thing to do.
