Jason McLachlan to take a break

Saturday 26 March 2016, 12:16pm

Golden Slipper-winning trainer Jason McLachlan will take an indefinite break from racing to travel and pursue other interests.

The Sunshine Coast trainer will begin his sabbatical next week.

McLachlan was in a training partnership with his father Bruce when they won the 2009 Magic Millions Classic-Golden Slipper double with Phelan Ready.

Jason McLachlan has trained in his own right since Bruce McLachlan died in June 2009.

"I am definitely not retiring. But I have worked industry 31 years straight without a break," McLachlan said.

"I will be able to travel and pursue other interests which I have never had time for."

"I've seen a lot of changes in the game and not all of them for the better."

"However, I will be back training but I have no time limit on it."
