"He fractured his pelvis but it doesn’t involve the hip joint and the vets are saying the prognosis is very good," Dabernig said.
"He seemed to be travelling well through the run and he was still travelling well at the top of the straight and somewhere on straightening I saw Dwayne Dunn ease the horse," Dabernig said. Dabernig said his team would be guided by the vets before progressing Rostropovich through the rehabilitation process."I believe it’s very similar to Kings Will Dream; I wasn’t involved in the process of Kings Will Dream, but I’ve been told it’s a similar injury to his," he said.
Meanwhile, Magic Wand is set to back up from the Melbourne Cup in Saturday’s $2 million Mackinnon Stakes.

Bulkshit. They'll kill this beautiful creature becauseit can no longer run.
Two weeks ago it would have been instantly slaughtered for pet food. From the horse van to a can.
he'll make a full recovery and then been anxious to get back out on the track and do what he was bred for , just like any other elite athlete .
Even a fractured hip is not enough for this horse to be retired.
