Muzi Yeni has just returned from a collar bone injury
Muzi Yeni returned from his layoff for a broken collar bone on January 2 and said he could not expect to be given a top ride for the WSB Met so soon after his comeback from an injury and two months, but said he could be getting the ride on the Sean Tarry-trained Litigation.
He said, “I came back late, so not having been fully into the swing of things, it is hard to secure the best rides … but it looks like I am getting a ride.”
He said that ride might be Litigation, but he added he was still in communication with the connections, who want him to go down and gallop the Greys Inn gelding.
Muzi said about his fitness, “I am fit enough for racing, but like a football player who is returning from injury and has been off for two months I have to build up momentum again.”
It was pointed out to Muzi that the WSB Met is looking a bit more open than expected with clouds hanging over a number of leading lights.
He replied, “Yes, Royal Victory should have been in the race, but it is what it is.”
Royal Victory’s chances would have been bright, although it would have been his first time at the course and first time around a left hand bend and it is never easy travelling down for the Met.
Muzi will be re-associated with the Nathan Kotzen-trained star on Sunday, where he comes out in the Non-Black Type Michael Roberts Stakes over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.
