I've heard today that Well Chief, trained by David Pipe, will not be running again this season after rumours that he may be running at either Sandown or Punchestown.
Having spent almost two years on the sidelines, it was hoped that the ten year old horse may well have a few races in him towards the end of the season, however Pipe has decided to put him away until next season now, where it is hoped that he'll get a full season out of him.
The rest will certainly do him good and he should be nice and fresh and ready for the challenges of next season. He had an epic race at the Cheltenham Festival when he chased down Master Minded and it appears that this has taken its toll more than was expected.
In fact Pipe said "He's fine, but has taken longer to come out of the Cheltenham race than first thought. With the way the ground is at present, we decided to put him away for the remainder of this term and enjoy a full season with him next term."
