Group One winner Wait A Sec is making steady progress following a tendon injury.

“He’s on his 10th week of rehab and doing 45 minutes a day on the treadmill,” co-trainer Grant Cullen said.

“I wouldn’t imagine he’ll be racing until Christmas time, but he’s not a big, heavy horse and won’t need too much to have him ready.”

Wait A Sec won the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) last spring and subsequently added the Gr.3 Anniversary (1600m) and the Wairoa Cup (2100m) to his record.
