Robbie Laing, despite battling a leg injury sustained during a track incident, is contemplating El Soleado’s next move following his triumph in the Bendigo Golden Mile.
Laing, recovering from a femur crack, watched the victory unfold from his parent’s couch, directing jockey Patrick Moloney on race tactics.
While considering options for El Soleado, Laing deems the Mornington Cup a potentially premature endeavour, leaning towards another run or a spell.
βIt might be too big a step at the end of his campaign. One more run somewhere or go to the paddock is my plan.β
With the VOBIS Gold Race day looming on April 27 at Caulfield, Laing sees potential opportunities for El Soleado to shine once again.
