Takeover Target misses T.J. Smith
By Mandy Cottell

April 04, 2007 TAKEOVER Target will miss the Group I T.J. Smith Stakes at Randwick on Saturday after contracting a virus.

Trainer Joe Janiak described the setback as "only minor", but he did not accept with Takeover Target as he had treated the seven year old for the condition.

"We had some blood tests done and they showed he had a slight virus so we had to give him some medication," Janiak said.

"It came to light about three days ago.

"We were hoping it would go away but it hasn't so, rather than take any risks, we thought it was better to scratch him now.

"Hopefully it will clear up soon and we can start him in the All-Aged."

Takeover Target's absence from the T.J. Smith is the latest in a series of setbacks for the globetrotting gelding, who has not started since scoring a brilliant victory in the Group I Sprinters Stakes in Japan last October.

He went to Hong Kong for International race day at Sha Tin in December, but he was was withdrawn on race morning, by order of the stewards, after returning a positive swab to a banned substance in a series of pre-race blood tests.

Last month, he pulled up sore after a gallop at his home track of Queanbeyan, but tests revealed that he had simply jarred up.

Janiak said the latest setback was unlikely to hinder plans to head to Brisbane for the winter carnival, and later to Europe for another international campaign.

"It's disappointing because it's what we've aimed him at all along and now this has happened," Janiak said.

"But it is only minor."
