Champion Horse Returns to the Track!

And now for something completely different, at least at the species level. An Australian horse racing website, BloodSport, reports that a famous race horse, who been injured, dramatically improved and was able to return to the stadium after being treated by a veterinary acupuncturist.

After acupuncture treatment Command Prince showed sudden improvement when he powered home to score easily at $41 on Geelong Cup Day while he has produced eye-catching runs at his last two starts in the Ballan Cup at Geelong and at Moonee Valley.

"Before he races he gets the acupuncture and that has helped him," Parker said.
