SEE IT AGAIN was in the news on Friday night for the wrong reasons again, while there was something to celebrate for the Glen Kotzen-trained On My Honour, although it was KZN Horse Of The Year Gladatorian who stole the show.
The former rider of See It Again Piere Strydom said this horse had started showing signs of being reluctant to load and had then also began missing the break, but he added, "I didn't think it would become this bad." See It Again had never had a major problem loading before, but appeared to resent it when the handler leading him in on October 19 tried to jump up on to the side partitions in front of him before he was fully loaded. Contact was allegedly made with his head on that occasion and he backed out. On Friday night he was led in with the hood and once again the handler leading him in once again tried to jump on to the side partitions before he had been fully loaded and once again the horse backed out.
