Is it just a rumour?

Strong rumours in circulation that Seamie Heffernan and Ballydoyle have parted company.

Three work riders sent to Dundalk yesterday when Seamie was at the meeting. There is no smoke without fire.

Seamie Heffernan will not ride for Ballydoyle in 2024.

Welcome back Frankie

Huge if true.

Has O'Brien still got that bloke he lets out every so often to ride a Derby winner ?

And he is booked to ride for four different yards at the Curragh on Monday as the Irish Flat season gets underway.

He was one of O’Brien’s most trusted lieutenants for nearly three decades but he will now ride as a freelance in 2024.

His agent, Ruaidhri Tierny, said: “Seamie doesn’t want to comment, he is just keen to get his head down and crack on.”

If had any balls he would have walked out Years ago.

Rumour is rife on The Curragh ... top Irish trainer is kicked out of the house after his wife discovered his affair with stable lass.

Now listen, you would never believe it.

never

Mrs o'B...'oi,ive found pineapple chunk in your y fronts'

Mr o'b..'now now love,now sit down and listen,listen.listen'

A member of the 'abstinence association'?

Never!

"Rishi, now listen, listen, … where did you hear this?  … Listen, I may have had a quick knee trembler with the lass  … it was to calm my nerves with City Of Troy … Listen, listen, you won't be telling anyone will you? … Listen, it was a good job they had me gelded after the 3 (or 4 was it) kids"

I would be amazed if it were true.

The horn does a lot of damage in life……

The old fella has no conscience…..

Who is Icy?

I'm not sure stewarts, but presume he's well known in Ireland because he gets interviews with the likes of Davy Rusell.
And evidently is well informed as he shared the Seamus story weeks before it broke in the mainstream news.

Ok, thanks George.

Listen, listen ... anyone on here remember Rachel Richardson riding for Tim Easterby? ...listen, she did Auguste Rodin for AOB ... a very attractive girl and a good rider.

Now it gets even more involved .... SH sacked after being caught in bed with ... a trainers wife.
While the trainer is having a liason with his stable lass and is banished from the family home.

Takes me back to the Fallon days ... must be all those hormones in what they feed the horses.

Are the "Lads" aware of all these shenanigans? lol

oh god . please let them ride horses and no more . its annoying at best . fallon , of course , just knew the culprit . ....but , for gods sake get on with the job proper !

You can't be saying things like that.

Amazing how the
@icyestretro
water cooler completely ignored the numerous rumours about an Irish trainer and his personal life. It turned out to be complete and utter bullsh*t. I must have received 20 versions of it.

The water cooler remains undefeated.

Who is Icy?

Icy is Gearoid Norris, who gambles for a living, apparently not a form book student, but rather has a network of contacts...The man in the know?

He formerly worked for Laddies and Paddy P, and apparently was demoted at the former firm for posting their early prices on the betfair forum , I think he said in one the "betting people" interviews, of which part 1 is here:

seems like the racing community is more dallas than last of the summer wine

Well it keeps some of them happy.

Mrs Campbell quote very appropriate "My dear, I don't care what they do, so long as they don't do it in the street and frighten the horses"
