Off an’ On injured
Off an’ On, third when favourite for the Grand National Steeplechase last Saturday, will be out of action with a ricked joint for some time. It is thought he received the injury when he was in
cramped quarters alongside Charlestown and Taitan at the third last fence in the National. "It was disappointing to have his campaign ended in such a way, but be has had a good winter, apart from the
Auckland trip,” Off an’ On’s owner, Mr Bert Crooks, said yesterday. Off an’ On lost his rider in the Great Northern Hurdles. “But I wouldn’t mind going back to Auckland next year,’’ Mr Crooks said yesterday.
