Extract courtesy Racenet -
West Australian and Australian Champion Northerly suffered a tendon injury late yesterday and his racing career may be over.
Trainer Fred Kersley was understandably devastated at the news, and has been with the horse since the injury occurred.
West Australian reporter Ernie Manning said this morning:
"The injury happened late yesterday but the news was only heard today.
"Fred is still with Northerly, along with the vets, and his wife has been fielding the calls for him.
"They have given the horse anti-inflammatory's and they will do scans of the leg today.
"It'll be 48 hours before the extent of the injury is known.
"It certainly isn't life threatening but it could well be career threatening."
