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.

While I want my team to get into the GF... Id really love to see a Derby Grand Final. WA would stop in its tracks. Surely they'd have to move the races to accomodate? Maybe they could condense it to a 6 card program starting at 2.30 and free entr…
