NO AGREEMENTS REACHED OVER VIDDORA

LLOYD Kennewell hasn’t any regrets he’s playing hard ball over a prospective slot in The Everest as he believes he has the whip hand in negotiations.

After last week’s win in the Group One Moir Stakes at The Valley, Kennewell isn’t going to accept any deal and he’s prepared for Viddora to miss out on a start in the $13 million The Everest on Saturday week.

And if she misses a start in Australia’s richest race, Kennewell slot holders should be kicking themselves.

“She can win the race but I’m struggling to come to terms with what they’ve offered us,” he said.

Slot holders need to work out a deal with Viddora’s owners to secure her for one of the two finals spots.
