Cobbler side-lined

Promising South Island threeyear-old Cobblertothestars will not be seen in action again until next season. The lightly raced son of Jimmy Choux had shown trainer Les Didham enough to encourage him to plan a path to the New Zealand Derby but an injury put paid to that. ‘‘He pulled a muscle some time ago and we thought we were on top of it when he ran in late January,’’ Didham said. ‘‘But he went very poorly and pulled up worse than ever. Everyone thought he was over the problem but it obviously didn’t hold up under race day pressure.’’
