We talk about different ideas and how we’re thinking the best advantage…and, as a result, Adrian and Gai are very keen to get back about the game; where we see opportunities and where we think things into the tried horse market, which was hugely successful for the stable over a can improve,” Slade told ANZ Bloodstock News yesterday. number of years. “The partnership was sparked out of conversations like that and “We will pick back up in that area while we will also be at the yearling we’re very much on the same page. I love the way Adrian thinks about his sales and there’s some other angles where we think we can help our clients training and where the opportunities lie going forward, so it was natural (racing experience).” for me to jump back in there.” Bott is also excited to once again be working closely with Slade. Slade, who also previously worked as general manager with Newgate “In fact, most of our team here have worked with Bruce previously, so Farm and maintains an association with the Hunter Valley stud, revealed the transition has been seamless,” Bott said. Waterhouse and Bott are keen to invest more heavily in the tried horse market, “Bruce's addition is a part of our striving for more success and better a tactic which delivered the stable the 2010 Caulfield Cup with Descarado service for our clients.

They have had a fantastic calendar year in 2020 and it’s about building on that.” The Gold Coast-based Slade will maintain his association with the Toby and Trent Edmonds stable while taking on the additional workload of Waterhouse and Bott. “I had a good, long chat with Toby and Trent and they have been phenomenal to work with. I am really enjoying my time there and, obviously, I am based on the Gold Coast where they are based, so that makes a lot of sense and I will still be helping them,” he said. “There is a lot of crossover in terms of the protocols and systems that we’ve put in place at Toby’s and Trent’s that we will be putting in place at Gai and Adrian’s as well now.” As for any potential conflict of interest, Slade does not perceive it that way at all. “From an acquisition point of view at the yearling sales, they are looking at slightly different horses and at different values and it’s probably the Magic Millions January where there is the most crossover between the two,” he said. “At the end of the day, if they both like the same horse, then they bid against each other. “I remember last year we bid against each other on a few horses, so it will be no different this year. It just depends on where they value those horses.
