Sprinter Smoko will have stem cell therapy at Murdoch Veterinary Hospital to a strained suspensory ligament in his off-foreleg.
Vets found Smoko had strained the ligament when he pulled up sore following his shock sixth as a $2 favourite to Shining Knight in last Tuesday's Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m) at Ascot.
Co-trainer Ross Price said Smoko would be sidelined for months.
"He will go to Murdoch where they will look at him and see about stem cell therapy," he said.
"In about 10 days we will take him up there and see what they can do. It is then going to be five months off and hoping."
Smoko was a $6.50 chance in Saturday week's Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) before he was scratched. WA's hopes of winning back the Group 1 weight-for-age hinge on Magnifisio, Shining Knight and Testamezzo, with Barakey in doubt after struggling to recover from a virus.
"He is still feeling flat and I will have to wait and see if he improves over the next few days," trainer Jim Taylor said.
Magnifisio firmed from $12 into $8 on the TAB yesterday following her strong win at her debut over 1400m in Saturday's Group 2 Lee-Steere Stakes at Ascot.
Melbourne sprinters Angelic Light, Moment Of Change and reigning champion Buffering dominate betting at $4.30, $6.50 and $7.50.

Stem cell therapy for sidelined star Smoko
Dopamine-making neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells.
A rat model of Parkinson's disease has been successfully treated with neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells, according to a study led by Swedish scientists. Its a promising sign for scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and Scripps Health who hope to perform similar therapy on Parkinsons patients, using artificial embryonic stem cells.
In rats and people, neurons that make the neurotransmitter dopamine are essential for normal movement. The cells are destroyed in Parkinson's, leading to the difficulty in movement that characterizes the disease.
Researchers transplanted dopamine-producing cells grown from human embryonic stem cells into the brains of rats whose own dopamine-making neurons had been destroyed. The rats were immune-suppressed so they would not reject the cells. Within five months, the transplanted cells boosted dopamine production to normal levels, restoring normal movement in the rats.
The study was published Thursday in the journal Cell Stem Cell. The senior author was Malin Parmar of Lund University in Lund, Sweden.
The results support the Scripps approach of using the artificial embryonic stem cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells, said Jeanne Loring, who heads the Center for Regenerative Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. Loring is part of a group called Summit 4 Stem Cell that's raising funds to treat eight Parkinson's patients with their own IPS cells.
Particularly significant is the study's comparison of the effects of dopamine-making neurons derived from fetal cells to that of embryonic stem cells, Loring said by email.
"In the 1980s and 1990s, there were several clinical trials that showed that grafts of fetal brain containing the precursors of dopamine neurons could reverse the effects of Parkinson's disease in some patients," Loring said. "We, and the others developing stem cell therapies, based our plans on the results of those studies, but no one had ever directly compared fetal tissue and human pluripotent stem cell-derived dopamine neurons in an animal model of PD."
Induced pluripotent stem cells appear to have much the same capacity as human embryonic stem cells to generate different tissues and organs.
There has been uncertainty about how similar they are to each other, specifically whether the IPS process produces mutations. But recent studies have found the cell types are extremely similar, including a study also published in Cell Stem Cell on Thursday. That study compared IPS cells with embryonic stem cells produced by SCNT, or somatic cell nuclear transfer, the same process used to create Dolly the sheep.
