Bart Cummings is recovering well after again being hospitalised with a respiratory ailment.
The master trainer was due home on Wednesday and his son Anthony said there was no cause for alarm.
"Given his history they didn't want to take any risks," Cummings said.
"I saw him in hospital, he was fine and cracking jokes."
A lifetime asthmatic, 83-year-old Cummings spent some weeks in hospital in the autumn of 2010 with pneumonia.
Not long after he recovered, Cummings broke his pelvis in a fall and was again confined for some weeks.
He was up and about in time to watch So You Think win his second Cox Plate in October but just days later was hospitalised with a recurrence of the respiratory problems.
A frail-looking Cummings made it out to watch So You Think run third in the Melbourne Cup, the last race he ran under the trainer's name having been sold days earlier to Coolmore.
So You Think has won two Group One races in the northern hemisphere for Coolmore including last Saturday's Eclipse Stakes.
Cummings has won 264 Group One races including 12 Melbourne Cups which have endeared him to Australians as the Cups King.
