He badly injured himself below the knee and did a lot of damage to the back of his tendon,' O´Brien told the Racing Post.'It will be a little while yet before we know the full story, but it´s quite possible he will have to be retired.'Catcher In the Rye, who ran in the colours of Sue Magnier, has raced only four times. Placed in both starts as a two-year-old, he opened his account at Leopardstown maiden before his fine run in France.
