See It Again "Hopeful" for Met After King's Plate Setback

Trainer Michael "Muis" Roberts remains optimistic about See It Again's chances of making the starting line for the G1 Cape Town Met following a disappointing run in the King's Plate, a performance Roberts described as the most underwhelming of the star gelding's career. The Nic Jonsson-owned runner pulled up with a fetlock injury, but Roberts shared that recovery efforts are ongoing. "We're busy nursing that injury, and we're hopeful he could run in the Met," Roberts stated.

Reflecting on the King’s Plate, Roberts highlighted the challenges See It Again faced under Rachel Venniker, including pulling during the race and enduring a wide trip. Despite the setbacks, Roberts is optimistic about the gelding’s prospects, with the Cape Town Met remaining a key target. The iconic trainer expects See It Again to regain form in time for the big race, which could serve as a redemption opportunity for the talented runner.

Piere Strydom, who missed the King’s Plate due to an injury sustained at the Vaal, is expected to reunite with See It Again for the Met. With one of South Africa’s most accomplished jockeys back in the irons and the gelding’s recovery progressing, connections are hopeful See It Again can deliver a performance befitting his reputation.
