Subsequent to completing trackwork this morning, Nature Strip was subject to an endoscopic examination in the presence of Racing NSW Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Toby Koenig.
Dr Koenig reported that the endoscope confirmed that Nature Strip has responded well to a combination of antibiotic and bronchodilator therapy and in his current condition the gelding is suitable to race.
Mr Waller has confirmed that the gelding will undergo a precautionary endoscope next week, the results of which shall be provided to the Racing NSW Stewards and Veterinary Department.
