Paul Nicholls, who watched the great Kauto Star leave his stable for the last time earlier this week on his way to a new career as a dressage horse, confirmed here on Friday that he will no longer train horses for the 12-year-old's owner, Clive Smith.
Nicholls and his staff at their yard in Ditcheat had hoped that Kauto Star would spend his retirement at the stable but the breakdown of his relationship with Smith prompted the gelding's removal from the yard on Tuesday and the trainer still seemed sensitive about the issue when interviewed on Racing UK on Friday afternoon.
"I can't see that [any further Smith-owned horses in the yard] happening," Nicholls said, "but we've had a good time [and] we both really appreciate the horse that we've had. I certainly do. I've enjoyed every moment but all things come to an end. I wish Clive all the best, good luck in the future and we've been very lucky to have a wonderful horse."
