Blowes told Racenet he was "absolutely shattered" when told the five-year-old gelding would be moving to Warwick Farm to join Clare Cunningham's stable.

"When you put all their (ownership) percentages together they outweigh me.
"The disappointing thing is that two of the owners I've known for 20 plus years and the other one is a farrier who I have known for 15 years.

Noble Boy secured a slot in the $1.3 million Kosciuszko last year and has won more than $600,000 after 14 starts.
