Blow me down...Toorak Toff emerges from 'wind problem' retirement

Here he blows...Only weeks after being retired, Toorak Toff is back in the business of racing! The 'wind' problem that triggered his sudden departure is believed to have cleared up and now the Grp 1 Golden Rose winner is back in training with Rick Hore-Lacy. Rick says: 'He worked for the first time this morning (Thursday), and his wind appears to be fine...He didn't make any noise at all.' The Doomben 10,000 and the Stradbroke in Brisbane are Toorak Toff's long-range targets.
