I’ve long thought Nicholls is possibly a difficult character to work with as in he probably wants to have all the say regards which races the horses run in. He seems the sort that would go off in a tantrum very quickly.
It’s no secret he’s lost a lot of good owners this past few years and McManus himself has never given Nicholls many horses while supporting so many other yards in both England and Ireland.
I think he’s possibly the creator of his own demise.
