Hearing into Singo-Gai stoush needs bigger arena Chief steward Ray Murrihy will consider moving the Gai Waterhouse-John Singleton inquiry from Racing NSW's Druitt Street headquarters to Randwick on Friday because of unprecedented media interest. Singleton's sensational sacking of Waterhouse was played out in the most public fashion, live on television on Saturday. The half-dozen horses Singleton had in work at Waterhouse's stables left at dawn on Sunday but the two long-time friends still have to front stewards at 2pm on Friday about the integrity issues raised. "Gai Waterhouse and John Singleton are two such big personalities, and this really goes beyond racing, and there has been enormous media interest because of who they are," Murrihy said. I can't remember fielding so many inquiries from the media. Stewards" inquiries are usually held in the boardroom of Racing NSW but it only has limited space for the media. "I have to put some thought into it because I understand that there is going to be high media interest and might need more room," Murrihy said. The friendship and successful partnership between Waterhouse and Singleton extends back more than 30 years, and has had plenty of ups and downs before Saturday when Singleton said the differences had become irreconcilable. Singleton claimed on TV and repeated in the stewards" room after Saturday's last race he had heard via friends that Tom Waterhouse had been allegedly saying More Joyous "can't win" before the All Aged Stakes, in which it ran seventh. Tom Waterhouse denied Singleton's claims in several interviews on Sunday. Murrihy adjourned the stewards" inquiry on Saturday to gather further evidence and review betting on the race. Waterhouse and Singleton had been joined by their racing managers Mark Newnham and Duncan Grimley during the first part of the inquiry. Singleton was asked by stewards to name the people who had told him that More Joyous couldn't win but refused on Saturday, saying it was not in his nature to give up his mates. He told stewards he wouldn't do it unless they can get him to do it legally. The inquiry on Friday will extend to Waterhouse's husband Rob and son Tom, both bookmakers, jockey Nash Rawiller, vets and staff from the Waterhouse stable, including track rider Steve O'Halloran. Betting records collected from around the country and the treatment record from the Waterhouse stable will become part of the evidence. Gai and Robbie Waterhouse said they could not comment as the dispute was the subject of the stewards" inquiry. Tom Waterhouse had not been contacted by stewards on Sunday, and defended his mother and himself against Singleton's remarks. "I never told anyone that More Joyous couldn't win, and I'm very disappointed at what John said on Saturday," Waterhouse said. In fact I backed More Joyous. He and mum have been friends for a long time, and he knows how hard she works, and she would never run any horse when it was injured. Singleton questioned whether the trainer had his horse's best interests in mind last spring when Waterhouse picked barrier 11 for More Joyous in the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley. The mare finished 11th.
