Without a Fight has suffered a minor tendon strain that will require a period of rehabilitation which will rule him out of autumn racing.

 

 

The seven year-old Teofilo gelding won both the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups in the spring and had five starts in Australia this year winning four of them.
