UPDATE 11/11/2008 ~ Recieved an update on the condition of Bullet Proof (NZ) ....this is really nice to hear and I wish the connections the best of luck with thier horse.

"Bullet Proof was operated on 2 days following the race. His leg has been pinned and appears to have been successful. He will be spelling for 6 months and will be reassessed then if he continues to be a racehorse or becomes a hack as his owners did not want to put him down unless that was the only option."
