Trainer Mark Kavanagh has genuine concern for Whobegotyou, the beaten Stradbroke Handicap favourite who was badly cut when unplaced in the rich sprint.
The four-year-old finished 11th to Black Piranha in Saturday's Group One Brisbane feature but returned to scale with lacerations to his hind legs.
"He has got some bad cuts on his back legs and has ripped the meat away from the tendon," Kavanagh said.
"The tendon is unaffected but we just have to wait and see how he goes."
Kavanagh said he wouldn't know until the end of the week whether Whobegotyou would race in the spring.
He said had seen similar injuries in the past but didn't want to elaborate.
"I don't want to discuss it because it got pretty ugly," Kavanagh said.
"I don't know how it will be until the end of the week when we pull the bandages off and have a decent look and see what's happened in there.
"We have an anxious week to see how it knits.
"Sometimes they all go back together and don't move and sometimes there are complications."
The Stradbroke was Whobegotyou's second run this campaign after an eye-catching second to Hot Danish in the Group One Doomben 10,000 (1350m) on May 29.
Whobegotyou has won seven of his 21 starts including the Caulfield Guineas at three and the Yalumba Stakes last spring.
He started favourite in last year's Cox Plate but pulled up sore in his hindquarters and back after finishing sixth to So You Think.
