Scans to determine Harbour's futureHarbour Views has been scratched from Saturday�s Cranbourne Cup and his career at the crossroads after Matthew Williams discovered a suspensory issue with the seven-year-old on Wednesday. 

�We�ve sent the scans to Ballarat to find out to what degree, but we really can�t say at the moment,� a disappointed Williams said.

�He had a gallop on Tuesday morning and we�re assuming it�s from that.

�He walked tender on it the next day.�

Harbour Views returned first-up with a win in stakes company in The Sofitel before finishing third in the Sandown Stakes and fourth in the Seymour Cup.

Harbour Views had recovered from a cracked sesamoid bone which saw him on the sidelines for close to 12 months leading into this preparation, with his Warrnambool-based trainer feeling he was in career best form with the lightly raced galloper who has also been sighted on 17 occasions � winning seven times.

�We will have to figure out what we do once we know more,� he said.

�He was probably going as good as ever too.

�If the vets say it�s not on the major side it�s probably six months best case.

�He�d miss the autumn and it might be a late spring.

�It doesn�t look shocking, but he�s got a few other issues and this is now another one.�Two horses Williams does have to look forward to however are Literary Magnate and Oenology who have both headed to the spelling paddock.

Literary Magnate did her connections proud with a gallant fourth in the Thousand Guineas.

�Literary Magnate did a good job but just lacks some maturity,� Williams said of the Written Tycoon filly.

�Those three-year-olds were a lot more mature than her and she still wants to lay in but she has the potential to keep improving.

�She might miss the early autumn and if she is going well and her form warrants it could go to Queensland over the winter.�

Another horse who carries the fluorescent yellow jacket of the Darren and Liz Dance�s Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock is Oenology who finished fifth behind Spirit of Gaylard on Melbourne Cup Day.

�He was good but probably questionable at 1800 metres,� his trainer said.

�I think he�s a 1400-1600 metre horse and we did his DNA and it said that�s where he would excel too.

�That was really his first preparation and he was pretty dumb at the start so he can come back for an autumn and winter prep and look at some of those VOBIS races.�
