I can tell you Khan that the Canberra racegoers where I was were riding as hard as Kathy was in the last 200m.

Her and Marmelo were by far and away the best runs in the race and she is a great advert for Nick Olive's capabilities!

My favourite horse at the moment! Apart from Winx of course. We listened to the last bit of the race while stopped at lights on Windsor Road. We were cheering her home and carrying on. I'm sure everyone around as thought they were witnessing a domestic violence/road rage incident or something.

I always love the really gutsy horses and she's certainly that!

Made all the big horses look second class with those little legs of hers.  She has one of Australia's best staying sires back in the 80's in Whiskey Road a son of Nijinsky crossed to a daughter of Nijinsky.  She is anything but like Nijinsky on looks but she goes further than most Not a Single Doubts and tries her heart out.  My TV was having a hard time with my yelling for her to finish second once Boom Time got past and she just went flatter and really tried.  Wonderful ride by Kathy to read the style of the day but the mare had to be able to handle that front (well ignoring the run away) role with ease.

When you consider she has Not a Single Doubt, Redoute's Choice, Canny Lad, Bletchingly, Biscay, Snippets, Vain etc and is inbred to Snippets/Lunchtime and Biscay!  Anyone who believes our sprinters are just sprinters really should look again.

Great day when a Golden Slipper winner sires the Caulfield Cup winner.

Hard to see how they find a win for this girl. I think everyone would like to see it, but it’s frustrating to watch her repeatedly having to be ridden hard early to take up a spot, then being ridden hard from the 600 to stay in touch. Tries her guts out but never seems quite enough. Maybe a mile handicap where she can be ridden cold with some weight relief? Hard to see her winning WFA.

I agree a Hollindale & Doomben Cup would be nice target races. 1800m-2000m is right in her wheelhouse. But why end her career there? She’s only rising 6 and only had 33 starts. We need our top horses to have longer careers than that. Can’t see why she wouldn’t be competitive again in the next Spring & Autumn.

Last I heard Yoshida bought her for $1.6m, with connections retaining her to race through the autumn, and the price to increase to $1.8m if she won another G1. Goes to Japan after the Sydney Cup, and will be served by Deep Impact to Northern Hemisphere time. Assume that’s still the deal.

They love our iron horses with stamina.

The Nick Olive-trained Single Gaze is trying to lose her bridesmaid tag when the $7.50 hope takes on Gailo Chop ($2.30 favourite) in the Tancred.

It could be the Caulfield Cup placegetter's second to last run for Olive before she embarks on a breeding career potentially in Japan.

Single Gaze will fetch a price believed to be $1.6-$1.8 million, depending on whether she adds another group 1 win to her resume.

Some of the old owners are not very happy, well if you didn’t want her to race for someone else you shouldn’t have sold her.
The new owner can do whatever he likes with her, he paid for her.
can’t see what the big deal is (twitter carrying on as usual)

I was in the car, but there should be one on the website later today.

Main takeaway is that he feels as though he’s let the team down. She was retired as he thought she had no more to give and, I presume, that would’ve factored in to the sale price... bloke also has some concerns for the horse, just to stoke the feels even further.

Waller rang him to give him the news.

Chris Waller will train Single Gaze

Spoke to former tnr Nick Olive “Bit of a shock for all of us involved to be honest, we were approched to sell her privately, we decided to sell on the proviso she would be going to Stud in Japan.” None of her original owners now involved

I will assume it is just for the spring. She would not bred till February at earliest up there.

You could not imagine she'd improve witn Waller but it would be a real kick in the teeth to Olive if she did.

This is a non aussie IMO
The horse was sold, the new owners are allowed to do what the like....
If you sell your house, do you get upset if the new owner renovates it?
No, that’s just absurd.
They knew the risks when they sold her, if they wanted her sold for breeding only, they could’ve put that in the sale contract... they didn’t.

Olive is just a sook. Grow up. You had your chance and you failed.

Her previous trainer was Olive and he suggested retirement because he felt she had done her best and it was time to consider her welfare, and the owners did what they felt was best for her .

Look clearly this is an immotve issue, It is also a nonsense issue, She is in no danger, No more danger than any other horse.

If anybody thinks she is in danger than we should just ban horse racing all together.

Pathetic because I think its a dirty thing to do ?   And it is.  Dirty and underhanded, and just wrong .  But then there are many people who just dont know right from wrong when money enters into it.
If you see this deplorable act as acceptable, then you are a bit pathetic, but thats just MHO.

If anybody thinks she is in danger than we should just ban horse racing all together.


No, it's about ethics, integrity and welfare......oxymoron there me thinks

Wow, what a pathetic post.

I’m sure Waller will retire if she doesn’t come up.


Pathetic because I think its a dirty thing to do ?   And it is.  Dirty and underhanded, and just wrong .  But then there are many people who just dont know right from wrong when money enters into it.
If you see this deplorable act as acceptable, then you are a bit pathetic, but thats just MHO.
Yes, yes, and yes to all the above.

With all due respect, Who is her previous trainer ? 


What does that mean ?Confused

I am not saying she is in danger.  But she is being used up, when the trainer who knew her best felt she had reached the point where she had no more left to give, and because they all cared for her, and appreciated the wonderful time she had given them, they wanted her to have a happy retirement. 
Some people in this game do care about the animal, but not all it seems.

I agree wirth just about everyone who has posted here.

1. If you wanted to sell her and thought she had had enough, which is a legitimate concern, then you should have put a non racing clause into the sale.
2. The owners should feel, lied to here. The buyer, told the owners she would be breeding in Japan, which is technically the truth, but they obviously did not realise that the northern hemisphere do not breed until early next year, and there was a possibility she may have a spring campaign.
3. The buyer, is now the owner and they have every right to do what ever they want with the horse. Having said that would I race her again, NO!
4. Waller as has been stated, will see how she goes, in training and we all know her performance level, so if she is showing signs of not being interested, he will pull the plug.

The only problem I have, is what race will Waller aim her at! If it is a light prep, I mean surely you would not put her through all the pre-training and trackwork, if you did not have a target in mind.


If she is being raced, just for the sake of racing her, then I do have a huge problem with that!

He was emotional. Trainers are less emotional when a horse loses its life. They have to simply hope she does herself proud if she does race. I certainly do,

She would only be getting the best of everything with Waller.

If media reports are correct, then a verbal agreement was broken, it seems very unlikely a Japanese gentleman would break an agreement......to lose face? not Japanese at all, the Yakuza maybe, but not one of Japan's leading businessmen. As I said, Waller doesn't need the money, so do the right thing.

Apparently he has knocked good horses back before.

Single Gaze joins Chris Waller's stable

6 hours ago by Isaac Ling & AAP

Group One-winning mare  https://www.punters.com.au/horses/single-gaze_326027/" rel="nofollow - Single Gaze  has joined Chris Waller's yard despite previous reports that she had been retired.

Formerly with Canberra trainer Nick Olive, the five-year-old was sold to Japanese interests during the autumn with her then trainer and owners of the belief she was heading to the breeding barn. 

However, the mare's new connections have appointed Waller to train her, in a move that came as a surprise to Olive.

"[It's] A bit of a shock to all of us," Olive said on RSN's Racing Pulse program on Wednesday morning.

"Chris (Waller) actually called me and let me know, and obviously news broke last night after that.

"We made the decision to retire her. The offer came in, it was a good offer and she was sold on the proviso that she was going to stud in Japan."

Single Gaze won five races from 33 starts under Olive, including the Group One Vinery Stud Stakes in 2016.

"We made the decision to retire her and let her move on to the next part of her life and enjoy things. If we had any intention of racing on, we would have raced on ourselves," Olive said. 

In her most recent campaign, which finished in March, Single Gaze ran second in both the Group One CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield and the Group One Ranvet Stakes at Rosehill.

Waller said he felt for Olive, who was among the ownership group that sold Single Gaze.

"My first thoughts were 'Gee, I wonder how that'll go down'," Waller said.

"Nick's done a fantastic job with her and as I see it, if I didn't take her someone else would.

"I've said no to a lot of good horses. I train for Mr Yoshida and if I say no to the owner, well I'm pretty much saying I can't train any of his horses."

Waller said Single Gaze would be assessed over the next month and her regular jockey Kathy O'Hara would provide valuable input.

"If she says the horse is going great I'm sure Mr Yoshida will take that into consideration and ask us to find races for her," he said.

"If not she'll just go up and be a mum."

No-one, believe me no-one, knocks back an opportunity to train a Yoshida horse.

And let's not get too emotive Bonjour, because there's absolutely no truth in your allegation that Waller "necked" Nick Olive.  The offer came out of the blue, Waller accepted (see above), and immediately phone Nick personally.  

And if the mare doesn't come up there's no doubt Waller will pull the pin.

I am not happy about either trainer getting more horses, They factories not horse yards.

What you can be sure of is the horses are not being trained by the man with his name on the licence.

They may have understood she was being bought (/retired) for breeding  but it's a VERY long bow that they were ignorant of NH breeding times.

Among my mates, when a mare comes off the track for breeding, they get a bit of time to let down/relax/settle in to life OTT.    So, is she not to be allowed to get that time ?  She has to race, right up until NH breeding time ???   On the track one week  and into the barn the next week  Shocked  !!!  And then they will have the hide to wonder why she doesnt take, or mis carries Thumbs Down
I reckon the previous owners are well aware of NH breeding times, and like me, they expected she would get some down time before being served. 
Of course Waller couldnt knock her back ! What would that do to him and his training for the Jap owners ???  But no where here have I seen Bonjour accuse Waller of necking Olive ?? 
I just think its unethical, nasty , and unfair on the horse.

The outgoing trainer could’ve marked her card as Retired.
It’s harder to reinstate if they do that, but they obviously didn’t do that.

The transfer of ownership would’ve been filled out, however it takes a while for it to be processed

Some of your mates may have a theory but it’s not at all uncommon for mares to come straight off the racetrack to the breeding barn and I’ve never heard or seen an issue with it. In my experience most seem to go in foal very quickly perhaps because they are so healthy? I don’t see the problem with a fit athletes getting pregnant.

I think you are being too polite AA, I have been on this racing site for quite some years, I used to respect many of these posters, they earned that respect by learned and interesting posts, however on this issue they have lost me, anyone who supports Waller over this, well I shall abstain from saying what I would like to, to save Gay the energy of editing...heavily. Now Waller has turned it around and put it on poor Kathy O'Hara, ''she'll tell us if she's had enough''....please spare me, this from the same man that openly told the press he was trialling that grand mare Catkins after a poor run, I need to see her trial so she can tell us if sh'e had enough''......maybe he should have asked Liam Prior what to do, Liam, yes Liam....google him, Waller also said, if I didn't take her some one else would, and I already train for Mr Yoshida......Mr Yoshida, well, we will never know if it was him or his advisors that put this plan into action, if it's Mr Yoshida he knows the fall out, just a business decision some of you say.....you are dealing with a wonderful, sensitive, breathing entity with Single Gaze, many of us earn our living out of these creatures, wouldn't it be lovely that for once their well being and comfort is taken into account? they give their lives for us, lets respect that. #Rangirangdoo
