David and Josh Aiken will seek advice from a veterinarian and await blood test results before deciding whether or not they will continue Aldebaran Crescent’s Inter Dominion campaign.
The Avenel-trained mare dropped out to run last in her trotting heat at Menangle on Saturday night before it was revealed she had suffered from the “thumps”.
Josh Aiken was in the sulky and said the horse only suffered a mild case of the condition, which commonly occurs due to an electrolyte imbalance.
He said the vet would take blood from Aldebaran Crescent today, with the readings to help decide if she continues through the series.
