WA Derby winner Alta Christiano is fighting for his life after suffering an adverse reaction to stem-cell treatment. The Gary Hall Sr-trained star has been closely monitored at the Lark Hill Veterinary Clinic since the procedure two weeks ago. Connections opted for the treatment to repair Alta Christiano's near fore suspensory ligament, which he tore after a Byford trial win in May. The three-year-old is unbeaten from three starts in WA after a syndicate of Hall's clients bought an 80 per cent share in him from New Zealand owners. He scored a brilliant win over Macha in the $200,000 WA Derby (2536m) at Gloucester Park in April. "We don't know if he'll pull through, but we're hoping," Hall said. "He's still under constant treatment. We're not sure if he picked up an infection or had a bad reaction to the stem-cell treatment." Hall is hoping for a change of fortune at Gloucester Park tonight. He has Real Hammer and Heez Orl Black taking on smart three-year-old Condrieu in the feature race, the $35,000 John Higgins Memorial (2130m). The Greg and Skye Bond-trained Condrieu, a winner of three of his past five starts, is the one to beat from barrier three. … Continue reading →

HALIFAX Janice Davidson is getting a new lease on life. On Thursday night, the 39-year-old leukemia patient will undergo a stem cell transplant from an anonymous donor in Halifax. You cant believe there is someone out there in the world who you dont know who is willing to give you a gift that is like no other really, the mother of three said. Davidson was diagnosed with leukemia five years ago. Since then, she has tried several different treatment options and relapsed twice. A stem cell transplant is now her best option to beat the disease. Its not going to be an easy path but we know were on the right path, she said. We know what we need to do and we are very hopeful for the future. The latest figures from One Match, the national program for blood stem cell donors and recipients, show that there are about 750 Canadians waiting to receive a stem cell transplant. Eight of those are in Nova Scotia. Factors such as genetics, ethnic background and treatment affect wait time in receiving a transplant so Davidson is extremely thankful that she found a match. It is especially fortunate because her three siblings were … Continue reading →
