The regally-bred Mamma Sans is #backontrack after a nasty fall at Motukarara in November 2019. 

Jane – as she is affectionately known at home, clipped heels with another runner in the home straight and crashed to the ground. She  got to her feet and cantered away, however, had suffered a serious injury to her right foreleg. Jockey, Brett Murray, was transferred to hospital with a suspected collarbone fracture.

Mamma Sans was treated by the on-course vet and transferred by horse ambulance to Canterbury Equine Clinic for further evaluation. She couldn’t weight bear on her off fore and was scanned for fractures or damage to that leg. The equine vets could not pinpoint the exact cause of the injury and put it down to possible nerve damage in the shoulder. After two months of rest and recuperation in a paddock at home, Mamma Sans began to recover her movement. 

The Cunneen Family, who bred and own the six-year-old Tavistock mare, were keen to continue racing with Jane as long as she was sound and happy. A second round of tests and scans on her leg were clear – giving the green light to bring her gently back into work.

Jane has been back on track since July, with Meg Cunneen training the mare at Riccarton Park Racecourse. 

“Jane is happy in her work and we can’t wait to see our girl back on track, nearly a year since her fall. She recently trialed at Ashburton and put up a nice effort against some pretty slick sprinters,” says Meg. 

The Cunneen family are looking forward to Jane’s race day return at Timaru on 9 October and were grateful that an NZHAT horse ambulance was on track to care for their precious mare.🍀
