murtagh

they'll get it hard to get ryan moore over tho.....

His ride on Misty For Me was the best I`ve seen all year.
Well positioned throughout then ridden turning in a Gr1 at Longchamp. Thats a long way from home against an unbeaten horse on the bridle.
He`s not as consistent as he once was but that was Murtagh at his brilliant best imo.

coolmore don't settle for hit and miss imo

smullen on the way....his ride in the gold cup was world class....

Heard at the racing reason hes going is because he lifted young joseph out of it for not doing what he was told,major bust up then ,how true that is i dunno thats the word anyways

respect.

His performance on Fame and Glory today surely signals the end of his time at Ballydoyle

Very harsh mp. What could he do from his wide draw? He probably wasn`t good enough and was nearly knocked over. If Smullen gets the gig it`ll signal the operations death knell imo.

plenty of armchair jockys on here

K FALLON  2 MAKE HIS COMEBACK COMPLETE  MAYBE A POSSIBILITY?

Is he really replacing Johnny Murtagh or is this just speculation?

They're hardly blaming him for the horses anyway. I don't see any horses or at least any important horses that he should have won that didn't this season.

Coolmore will just have to accept that they won't have champions every year.

is this true?? johnnys goin?

YES

Murtagh is not leaving Ballydoyle.........if he goes it will be up to him. The little problem down there has nothing to do with Johnny, AOB or the bossman.

GANT - will u lay me an even 3k that he is??  The dogs are even barking this.

come on then gant , what's the little problem then ?

Complete rubbish to blame Murtagh for any poor performances this year. Most Ballydoyle inmates this year are average.
Fame and Glory is not good enough to win an arc. The campaigning of the horse this year was a complete give away imho.
Has beaten rubbish all throughout the year, beaten in a listed race behind shes our mark. Winning a pi55 poor grp 2 and 3.....and 2 of the weakest grp 1s in europe this season. Another Soldier of Fortune.

Pirates cannot close this gap at present.  They're NOT firing

^^^^ above post wrong forum

Kriskin.....you reckon he will be sacked.

GANT - Not sure about being sacked but been informed he won't be No.1 next season

Kriskin....I didn't hear that rumour.

who's no1 then ?

joseph

I thought Joseph was already No.1

wat about tom queally.was there as a young lad.smashing jockey

he loves frankel(cecil's gardener, not the horse) too much, wont leave him

Gant I hear Anne Marie is a very hard lady to get on with.

Murphys stroke......No she aint.

Who should replace him then, one of these I would think, Soumillon, Fallon, Smullen, Buick, Moore or even Kinane returningIt must be great being a NOTW journalist

Theres only one person outta that bunch that aidan wants back and thats KF,he was flawless in the job

U HEARD IT HERE SOUMILLON WILL BE IN COOLMORE SOON

If Soumillon gets the job, Does that mean he'll live somewhere local. Imagine him on a night out in one of the following, Limerick, Clonmel, or Tipp town. It would be hilarious. On a serious note I'd be worried as to how well he'd acclimatise

me too but he is better than ur average jockey that has ridden in france;murtagh only had 1 year contract anyways and imo at last he is going[good jockey]but not the saint he paints himself

GANT - you've got ur answer now

The more I think about it there will probably be no new stable number 1 (for 2011 anyway)- best available jockey will be used.

Ireland - Colm O'D, Joseph O'B, and Seamie H
UK - K Fallon, J Spencer, R Moore
France - C Soummillon
US - Best available in US - Garret Gomez, Julian leparoux, Kent Desormeaux, et al
Australia - Steven Arnold
