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


Cheers PT

If he didn’t want her to race on then he shouldn’t have sold her.. plain and simple.
The new owner can do whatever he pleases with her, he does own her!!!!

A simple "not to race again" clause in contract is all it would have taken. Sorry affair for previous owners but that's racing.

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.

I can assure you I am not looking forward to that at all !  I will feel ill watching her trying so hard, when she has already given her all.  Dont these people have any feelings for the animal at all ?  Or  are they so money hungry they just dont give a toss.

Does Waller need the money? About time a trainer see's the need to stand up and say, thanks but no thanks, Nick did a great job, I bet he's gutted, if he thought she had bottomed out, then she has.....Cmon Chris, be a man here.

Get real, if Waller hadn't accepted the mare there's others who would've quick smart and Olive would still have been gutted.

At least Waller had the character to contact Nick personallyand delivery the bad news.

Who knows she may be just looking for a change of scenery and will come out and win a Group 1?

Give them a chance, she’s a good horse.

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.

What does that mean ?Confused
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 .
