Alligator Blood and trainer David Vandyke will part ways, with colourful owner Allan Endresz confirming the news via social media on Sunday night.
In a post on the Alligator Blood Facebook page detailing the split and future plans for the star galloper, it is alleged that some of the ownership group and David Vandyke had a falling out during Alligator Blood’s recent Sydney spring campaign.
After a disappointing winless spring campaign, it has been revealed that Alligator Blood will undergo surgery to fix a spine problem, which is expected to require four to six months on the sidelines.
A new trainer has yet to be confirmed, with connections reportedly looking at options in both Melbourne and Sydney.
