Darley Australia has purchased Reset for $20 million he will not race again straight off to stud. Am I the only getting sick of this happoening so early in horses careers we are losing anything that has ability either overseas or to stud or both.

Yeah, totally sick of it. I mean, how many starts did he have? FIVE???

Choisir now Reset. It's not hard to see where the real $$$$ is in the racing industry. Can we infer that this is the reason that Northerly is making a comeback, they can't stud the famous gelding???

Nothing new here guys. I can remember being disappointed when Luskin Star was retired early on, and he wouldn't have been the first.

$20,000,000 in the pocket....would you race on?

There goes any hope of a match race between Reset and Starcraft.
It also takes a bit of gloss off what was shaping to be a classic Cox Plate this year.

It is dissapointing but I would have done exactly the same thing as Williams. $20 mil buys a lot of Reset's.

Absolutely ridiculous,
If lloyd williams was struggling for a quid go for it, But he is a multi millionaire. choisir, reset and exceed and excel its getting ludicrous.

Cheers Ed

Couple that with the news that the owner of Starcraft Paul Makin wants to take the horse to America possibly this year and it would seriously deplete what looked a great crop of horses.
