Classy WA filly Tuscan Queen might have run her last race.
Tuscan Queen won both the WA Oaks and WATC Derby (2400m) in recent weeks but the Fastnet Rock filly has sustained a tendon injury.
Perth broadcaster TAB Radio reported Tuscan Queen has a tear in a deep flexor tendon, which requires a minimum of 12 months off the scene.
Racing and Wagering WA journalist Julio Santarelli reported the extent of the damage was discovered when vets operated on the three-year-old.
Vets initially treated Tuscan Queen with ice and anti-inflammatory medication but the problem failed to settle, which prompted the surgery.
Owner Bob Peters had the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups in mind for Tuscan Queen in the spring.
TAB had Tuscan Queen as a $26 chance in Caulfield Cup betting.

It really is his call what he wants to do but if he is stranded over there with his family here don't complain. You would think eventually they will have the same rules Australia wide. His choice.
