Star trotter Keystone Del is recuperating in a paddock after pulling up sore from Great Southern Star night.
Trainer Nicole Molander said the 26-time winner would have his shoes removed by the farrier and his cracked hoof worked on during the next couple of days.
Molander has also ordered the vet to test Keystone Del’s blood to ensure there are no other health issues.
“He’s a bit sore and he’s resting in the paddock now,” Molander said. “He’s got a crack on his hoof that we’ve been looking after. It had quite a bit of movement in it after the Great Southern Star.
“The farrier will take the shoes off in the next day or so. So he’s out for a spell.”
Keystone Del ran second behind Sheemon in his Great Southern Star heat last Saturday night before backing up and running seventh in the Final, which was won by Stent.
