Lightly raced import Sarrasin has overcome a couple of setbacks since joining Lee and Anthony Freedman who are now preparing to unveil him at the races.The former French horse is scheduled to make his Australian debut in Saturdays David Bourke Memorial Handicap (1600m) at Pakenham.A Listed winner in France, Sarrasin hasnt raced since his second to Erupt in a Group Three race at Chantilly in June last year.He was bought by clients of the Freedmans and arrived in Australia early this year.We were very impressed with the horse but he had a couple of small setbacks, Lee Freedman said.The second one, he struck himself and had a very big bleed into his leg cavity which was worrying. It wasnt serious but we just had to mark time for two or three months while that resolved and hes been very good lately.Sarrasin has had an arthroscopy on his near fore fetlock and an MRI since he last raced, which Freedman said was covering all bases.We just wanted to make sure there was no damage to the leg, which there wasnt, but at the same time it was quite serious bruising, he said.Saturdays race is slated as his kick-off point as long as the ground isnt too hard.I dont know that 1600 metres is his go but Im very much looking forward to getting the horse to the races and giving him a bit of race experience here in Australia, Freedman said.It will only be a cameo appearance, maybe one or two runs, at this time of year and then back out for a little break and get him back for the autumn.But we love the horse. We think hes a lovely horse and hes pretty much done everything right the last few months.Sarrasin is by the late German sire Monsun who has sired three Melbourne Cup winners - Fiorente, Protectionist and Almandin.Hes a fairly typical Monsun, not as dour as some of them, but probably more in your Fiorente mould in terms of athleticism and that, Freedman said.The Freedmans have had a number of well-performed imports and Lee said they were all different.He said Sarrasin was an athletic horse who reminded him a little of Lucas Cranach, third in the 2011 Melbourne Cup when trained by Anthony Freedman.Sarrasin trialled at Cranbourne on November 7 and has had another trial at Balnarring since.I havent got many expectations other than I think hell run well, Freedman said.Sadio Mane Liverpool Jersey .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday.

But Baxter has poured cold water on those reports and is adamant Slade is happy at Sandy Park.One jungle drum rumour that I can put to bed and thats interesting everyone is that of Henry Slade, Baxter said. Ive had a couple of chats with Henry and had a joke with him about all the rumours that are flying around because there is no truth in him having any interest in going to Bath.Thats been a talking point for us on the jungle drums this week, but Id also like to say that if he does end up playing at ten, it wont be because we are being told by Eddie Jones he needs to play ten -- and he wont be playing ten because I am worried that if we dont play here there he will go and play for Bath, so there is one jungle drum rumour I can put to bed straight away.Baxter continued: Its not unsettling to us as a club, to me, or even to Henry, and I dont believe for one minute its unsettling to Batth or any other clubs that get linked into the rumours because its unusual if head coaches and players dont have a close enough relationship for us to know if those sorts of things were going to happen.ddddddddddddIts not unsettling for me to read anything about Henry as I know hes under contract here and I know hes fully committed to us, and hes desperate to do good things for us, play well for us, and for us to win things.We have a bit of a laugh about it, its one of those things that happens, but that is what sport is all about. It is good that people want to talk and chat and find interesting things to talk about, thats what we want to do, I have no problem with promoting the game and it being something we talk about.If anything football can command a 24-hour day radio programme just to talk about football, it would be nice if we could do that about rugby, we cant do that at the moment, but there is no problem if rugby gets promoted in whatever way it can.
