See You At Peelers Update

John Fielding, one of the leading Breeders Crown winning owners, added two more trophies to his mantle this past weekend with two-year-old trotting colt Uncle Peter and three-year-old trotting filly Cedar Dove winning their respective divisions, but one of his stable stars was

noticeably absent.

Fielding spoke with Trot Radio last week and also issued an update on the headline-grabbing three-year-old pacing filly See You At Peelers, which he owns with brother Jim Fielding and breeder Christina Takter.

After starting her career with 22 consecutive victories, See You At Peelers ran into heart problems, which may have played a role in her last three losses – the most recent in her Breeders Crown elimination on Oct. 22 at Woodbine Racetrack. After putting in a solid qualifying mile, the Jimmy Takter trainee looked to be back on track as she worked her way to the lead down the backstretch in her elimination with Marcus Johansson in the sulky, but faded to last in the stretch finishing over 14 lengths behind 1:50.4 winner Rocklamation.

"She's obviously not right,” Fielding told Trot Radio's Norm Borg after the elimination. “When I talked to Jimmy Takter he said that the most he'd ever seen a horse's pulse rate after a race was about 130 of horses that he's trained. Her pulse rate after the race was 140. Normally after her best miles her pulse rate after a race was 85, something like that. There's definitely something wrong with her and we just haven't been able to get to the bottom of what it is."

Fielding is hoping some more time off will help her recover and come back next year for her four-year-old campaign.

"My suggestion is to stop all the medication, stop everything, just give her a bunch of time off,” said the Toronto resident. “We always intended to race her at four. Hopefully, with some time off whatever is ailing her goes away, unless it's something permanent, which then, of course, she'd become a broodmare. She would be a great four-year-old for us to race and she's such an exciting filly it would be great for the sport as well, but she has to be healthy, otherwise it doesn't do anybody any good."
