The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained Quick Thinker has been withdrawn from Saturday’s A$2million Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) after a minor issue with his near foreleg.
The OTI raced four-year-old ran out a strong winner of last week’s Gr.2 Chairman’s Quality (2600m) and will now be readied for targets at the Brisbane Winter Carnival.
Baker and Forsman will still be represented by classy stayer The Chosen One in the Sydney Cup, but the son of Savabeel will carry topweight of 56kgs and has the outside barrier of 16 to overcome in his bid to go one better than his second placing in the two mile feature last year.
