Trainer C Cole undertook to have the gelding undergo a further veterinary examination at his stable and report any findings to the Stewards. On returning to the Trentham stable area, OLD BILL BONE showed signs of distress which required further veterinary attention. Trainer Mr. C Cole reported to Stewards, that the gelding underwent a veterinary examination, including blood tests, on Monday 22 December, which revealed no abnormalities. Mr. Cole further advised that it is his intention to continue with OLD BILL BONE’S current preparation and that the gelding may be nominated for the Auckland TR meeting on Sunday 11 January.
