Injury has halted the autumn campaign of dual stakes winning three-year-old Mr Maestro.

He had galloped well at The Valley on Tuesday ahead of Saturday’s Gr.2 Alister Clark Stakes (2040m), but a tendon issue was found on Wednesday morning.

“He had a bit of thickening there and we scanned it. It’s not a major but enough to suggest we don’t push on and risk further damage,” trainer Andrew Forsman said.

“He should be okay longer term and he’ll probably stay in Melbourne to do his rehab and then go back to Macedon.”

The son of Savabeel won the Gr.3 Caulfield Classic (2000m) and the Listed Super Impose Stakes (1800m) in the spring before he ran fourth in the Gr.1 VRC Derby (2500m) and had been on a Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) path before going amiss.
