Everest hopeful Menari has been ruled out of the spring after suffering a career-threatening injury to a leg.

Trainer Gerald Ryan has told Racing NSW stewards Menari has an injury to his near fore tendon and the colt may be retired.

He was scheduled to race for Max Whitby’s group in the $13 million Everest at Randwick on October 13 with three slots now left for the 12-horse race.
