Trainer Fred Kersley will wait until the results of a scan on Northerly's injured leg on Wednesday “before declaring the champion's career is definitely over, but is resigned to his star performer's retirement,” reported aapracingandsports.com.au. Kersley summed up on SKY TV’s Racing Retro: "I never say never, but my view is he will never race again. There are some horses who come back from such an injury, but the majority don't.

I'm very much a pessimist. The main thing is he's comfortable & he's well." Kersley said Northerly would go back to the stud where he was born, south of Perth, to live out his retirement.
