The problem isn't as much getting the horses there but the staff to look after them, with anybody actually allowed to enter Australia requiring 14 days in quarantine.
"We have spoken to the racing officials over there about all the logistics and we are coming with with a plan," says Pike.
"So the Trainers Association here is going to ask all trainers who think they have a horses or horses they want to send to Australia to come back to us with whether a staff member would need to go and we can apply to get those people in, with quarantine of course.
"Then we can approach the racing officials over there with one list of horses and people rather than everybody trying to do it individually."
It will mean trainers having huge trust in their staff as they are unlikely to be able to pop across the Tasman and back for a few days any time soon.
With almost all trainers committed to their far larger teams back home rather than being able to base themselves in Australia for one or two horses, there looks set to be plenty of FaceTiming and video taking at track work time.
One trainer who realises he might have to wave his stable mega star goodbye for a month or two is Clayton Chipperfield with Catalyst.
The electrifying 2000 Guineas winner is coming up beautifully for Chipperfield but his Te Awamutu trainer admits he can't justify 14 days in quarantine each way to take the four-year-old to Sydney so he may work in with Pike.
"It is all up in the air at the moment but he (Catalyst) might go over and team up with Tony's people and hopefully a Trans Tasman bubble comes in and I can get over there to see him later," says Chipperfield.
"But I am thrilled with how he has come up. He has filled out even more and furnished. He looks like a real racehorse now."
Catalyst is being aimed at the A$500,000 The Shorts at Randwick on September 19 followed by the A$500,000 Silver Eagle at Randwick on October 10 with his ultimate goal being the A$7.5million Golden Eagle at Rosehill on October 31.
