The Australian breeding industry is set to undergo a major shake-up following confirmation The Everest winner of last spring, Yes Yes Yes, has been retired due to a tendon injury.
Trainer Chris Waller has confirmed the near-fore injury was indeed a career-ending tendon strain, reports Racing.com.
"With the autumn carnival just around the corner and the world awaiting the next stage of his exciting career, it comes as a tough day to notify connections of Yes Yes Yes and supporters of racing that it is in the best interest of the horse that he is retired," Waller said.
"The decision has been made based on a number of well-known veterinary facts in addition to advice from around the world.'
The three-year-old colt was part-purchased by Coolmore on the eve of last March's Golden Slipper Stakes where the horse recorded his only unplaced (seventh) run in his eight-start career.
