My association with Kieren came to an abrupt end on Saturday morning while sitting having a coffee at McDonalds and I would like to apologise once more to the woman who was treated to a volley of liquid.
I received the news via a text message at 9am. Stating that he was going to another agent because she was an old friend who was restarting as an agent –she gave up last year because she couldn’t hack it anymore. He thanked me for my efforts. That was it. No explanation.
Initially, I have to admit, I thought it was a joke, somebody had taken his phone and sent the message as a prank. It was only confirmation from Kirsty that I realised it was true.
Did I see it coming? No way. There had been no arguments, we had been planning for the new season. Kieren had finished third in the title, without backing from a major yard in terms of numbers, with 154 winners. He had 900 rides, 130 for different yards, and accrued around £2million in prize money.
I lost Shane Kelly and then Eddie Ahern, who admittedly needed a change after seven years, because of my commitment they felt I was giving to Kieren. They may have been right as winning the championship was the main priority and it nearly killed me.
Even my fiecest critics will agree that my record stands the closest scrutiny. I have produced a champion jockey, and a 2nd and a 3rd. In total, they have won over £10million in prize money. At least I can sympathise with Lee Clark and Gary Megson
Will I carry on being a jockeys agent? I’m not sure. You have no contract and, as I found out, you can be dropped without a seconds notice. What will I do next, if I don’t? I have no idea!

What a disgusting way to treat any human being let alone somebody who must have had a very close relationship with him. Fallon comes across as a quiet unassuming man but obviously has the morals of a lizard.

i sympathise, his rides were a joke towards the backend though. All due to his own burning of bridges no doubt...

Hope Terry realises that that's not talcum powder that was left in his bathroom
 |

By:
Perhaps he blames Norman for him not getting either the Hamdan / Godolphin job (assuming neither job was offered to him). Scapegoat?
Did Norman's sacking come after the announcement of the SDS / Hanagan jobs? |

By:
As much as I despise Fallon it's hard to be overly sorry for an agent who's jockeys are Fallon, Kelly and Ahern. And as for mentioning his sex life with that volley of liquid....

Why on Earth would any normal human being be surprised by anything that Fellon does ?

Well done to Terry Norman for demonstrating yet again exactly why jockeys are dumping him.

.Can't imagine jockeys queing up, after washing his dirty linen on here. 'In confidence' obviously not part of the terminated contract! |
|
By:
'Poor' Kieren, eh?
Rode winners for both Bin Suroor and Al Zarooni last season, and has been riding winners for Godolphin in Dubai - must have fancied his chances of getting one the 2 big jobs which have come up for the Maktoums... And assuming he wasn't offered either, passed over and younger jockeys given preference. It mustta hurt, eh? You can just imagine that stare when he heard the news. Do you think he would have been seething? |
|
By:
And worse still, news breaks of that whippersnapper Barzalona getting the third job on offer.
Seemingly not even 3rd choice! |

Hard to have sympathy for the bloke,he must have made a fortune out of Fallon.

So who is the lady agent ?
|
|
By:
I dont suppose anybody knows what happened to Robert Parson,he was Agent for Dunwoody and Richard Quinn a few years back,he just seems to have vanished.
|

By:
Graham Green of the RP was big pals with Robert. Last heard was was working as an estate agent.He did a fantastic job for Quinny and Dunwoody...in the latter's case he'd never done N.H. and had little interest in that branch of the sport.
I 've stated on another thread that agents are treated dreadfully. All very well for some to sneer but when one's living is taken away ,sometimes on a whim it's no joke. I was lucky that I'd moved to a fashionable Cornish town and had the wherewithal to buy houses for holiday lets. I consequently packed in trying to be pleasant to orrible people like Jenkins,Noseda ,Mark Johnston,Alec Stewart and their ilk.Try to be a little more understanding about Terry's circumstances. Schadenfreude aint pleasant. |
