Connections are awaiting results of scans taken on Incentivise following the running of the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday.
The race favourite displayed signs of lameness soon after cooling down after the run and it has been confirmed by Incentivise’s Managing Owner Steve Tregea, talking to the Herald-Sun, that … “He has inflammation in the near-side fetlock,” and that, “they scanned it and didn’t see a lot, but there was inflammation and fluid there and he was lame so we will see what the second scan shows.’
It is thus too early to make any accurate assessment on the exact extent of the injury and that determination can only come about once the scan results have been assessed.
Meanwhile Nick Williams, the son of Twilight Payment’s Managing Owner Lloyd Williams, has announced that the 2020 Melbourne Cup winner, who finished unplaced on Tuesday, has been retired.
It is expected that Twilight Payment will remain in Victoria and will take up his retirement at Living Legends.
