AFTER more than a year on the sidelines, Weekend Hussler is set to return to racing in Saturday's group 1 Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield, reports The Age.
It says: The five-year-old's trainer Ross McDonald said yesterday that Weekend Hussler's work on the course proper at Caulfield on Saturday proved to him that the seven-time group 1 winner was ready for his long-awaited return from injury.
''It's been a while coming but I'm happy with the way he's progressed,'' McDonald said. ''He hasn't forgotten how to gallop, that's for sure.''
He said he did not rush Weekend Hussler back into action as he wanted to ensure the gelding had every chance to recover completely from fetlock and back injuries that threatened.
