has had a strong start to the racing season, particularly in Australia, off the back of good sale results.

Cambridge CEO Henry Plumptre said today “It has been a difficult year and naturally we are disappointed that Tavistock will not be able to complete his book for this season. However, long term his health is the only thing that matters, particularly with the representation he has coming through and we will focus on having him back for the 2020 season.”
