RSN927 WILL SCANS ONLY RULE OUT MELBOURNE CUP? May 3, 2021 12:29 pm By Matt Stewart, Racing Editor What options remain if a horse is scanned out of the Melbourne Cup? According to Racing Victoria, future racing options for a horse who fails a Melbourne Cup CT scan “would depend on what it shows.” “Each would be assessed on its individual merits,” a spokesman said, adding that RV would communicate with international and local vets and trainers in coming weeks to “address their queries directly.” The spokesman said RV’s major fracture policy meant horses who had suffered such an injury, and in all likelihood failed a CT scan, would be subjected to various trials and scans prior to being able to compete.
