Mr Price advised that Ayrton has been treated by his stable veterinarian, however, at this point there is no conclusive diagnosis.
Mr Price further advised that the stable will continue to assess the gelding and will report on the progress of Ayrton over the coming days and whether the condition may impact upon the gelding’s Sydney Spring Carnival plans.
