The first foal out of John Singleton's eight-time Group 1-winning mare More Joyous (NZ) (More Than Ready), a yearling filly by Frankel (GB), is likely to go into training with More Joyous's former trainer Gai Waterhouse, Singleton told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Singleton and Waterhouse had parted ways in a high-profile public disagreement surrounding More Joyous's final start, the 2013 G1 All Aged S., but the pair have since reunited and team up for Saturday's G1 Golden Slipper with the appropriately named Kiss And Make Up (More Than Ready), winner of the G2 Todman S. two weeks ago.
“It's just wonderful to be back with her,” Singleton told the SMH. “The trial separation didn't work out. I love being back. Win, lose or draw on Saturday, it just feels right.”
Singleton told the SMH Waterhouse would likely train his Frankel filly, “if she'll accept it. More Joyous was such an outstanding filly and it will be like staying in the family.”
Singleton is slated to sell a Frankel colt out of More Strawberries (Aus) (More Than Ready) at the Inglis Easter yearling sale next month.
