Forgot You is set to resume his racing career at Caulfield on Saturday, stepping out in the Thoroughbred Club of Australia Handicap (1400m) for the first time in over a year.

The Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained stayer hasn’t been seen since March 2024 after suffering a suspensory issue in his off foreleg, an injury that followed a similar setback the previous season. During the layoff, Forgot You was gelded in a bid to help manage him physically and mentally going forward.

“We took him to Perth in search of a Group 1 in the hope of maybe making him a stallion, but it didn’t quite go to plan,” Young said.

“So, in his lay-off we gelded him.”

The seven-year-old was a promising three-year-old, capturing the Group 2 The Vase at Moonee Valley before contesting elite staying races like the Victoria Derby and Australian Derby. He also lined up in three major Guineas events.

Forgot You’s rehab was managed with the help of specialist Lee Evison. Since returning to Cranbourne, he’s turned in a pair of solid trials, winning his latest hit-out late last month.

“He has trialled up awesome,” Young said.

“He’s dappled from head to toe and just looks fantastic. He’s a little bit pretty because of the time away and we’ve brought him along slowly.

“While Saturday is not his ideal distance, being a 1400 (metres), I can’t fault him on his work and his trials.”

The Winter Championship Series is on the radar, offering solid prizemoney and a natural path through the colder months. If he remains sound, spring ambitions may also be revisited.

“He’s a Savabeel and likes a bit of cut out of the track and we would like to try and win some prize money with him,” Young said.

“Then if he holds together, we could target something into the spring, but it’s all about getting him back to the races, spacing his races and having him pull up sound after each run.”
