As per today's West Australian, Old Comrade who is currently stabled in NSW with trainer Noel Lamey, came through an official trial with flying colours at Kembla Grange on Saturday, when he completed a track gallop between races.
He worked at three-quarter pace over 1000m before running his final 600m in 37sec. and final 400m in under 24sec.
Lamey has earmarked Old Comrade's comeback in an 1100m Listed event at Rosehill on January 31 and plans to race the horse each fortnight into the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m), leading into the $2.5 million Doncaster Handicap on April 12.
Good luck to all concerned, would be great to see Old Comrade back to or near his best.
