why did j oxx lose aga khan patronage ?

The Aga Khan, for so long one of Irish Flat racing's most committed owner-breeders, has reacted to the subdued season that his great ally John Oxx is enduring by announcing that Dermot Weld will join his trainer's roster.

Pat Downes, the Aga Khan's stud manager in Ireland, has also revealed that Declan McDonogh will not be retained to ride their team of horses here in 2014.
"This has been a difficult year for the organisation in Ireland, as John Oxx's yard has been suffering from a virus," Downes said in a statement. "This has highlighted the need for us to spread our horses over a greater number of trainers to avoid this situation reoccurring. This policy has worked for us in France, so we felt it was worth implementing in Ireland also. We look forward to having horses with Dermot Weld (above)."
A year ago to the day, Johnny Murtagh was sensationally sacked from his position as No 1 rider to the Aga Khan as a result of his fledgling association with the Tommy Carmody yard that he now trains from under his own name.

McDonogh was subsequently revealed as his successor in November. While the 2006 champion jockey is not to blame for Oxx's unusually barren campaign, it was hardly ideal that the beginning of his tenure coincided with such an unproductive spell.
Oxx, whose last Group One winner was the Aga Khan's Alandi in the Prix du Cadran all of four years ago, has saddled just 13 winners so far this term, with only two modest Aga Khan-owned horses among those to contribute to the relatively meagre haul.
Mick Halford, to date the Aga Khan's only other trainer in Ireland, has enjoyed a slightly better return, saddling five different horses to win eight times for the Gilltown Stud owner.

At Killarney last night, McDonogh bagged a timely triumph on Halford's Adelana, when a typically strong drive saw him get the two-year-old up by a short-head. It was the perfect response to news that will doubtless come as a blow to one of the weighroom's most respected professionals, but the decision not to renew his contract might ultimately reflect the changing nature of his employer's outfit, which has concentrated an increased percentage of its quality resources in France in recent times.
During the glory years of Sinndar, Azamour and Alamshar, Oxx was the Aga Khan's sole Irish handler. Then Halford began receiving some of the choice home-breds in 2007 and nearly secured a Group One win for the famous green and red silks when Massiyn went down by a head to the Carmody-trained Royal Diamond in the Irish St Leger last September.

Weld will also now be sent a team of Aga Khan yearlings and two-year-olds, while his long-serving stable jockey Pat Smullen would be expected to be the rider of choice for the Rosewell House contingent.
It remains to be seen what role – if any – McDonogh might have to play in the operation, but the prospect of an elusive top-level coup for the Aga Khan still remains.
Dabadiyan, on which he has won three times for Halford, is a contender for next month's English and Irish St Legers. Success in either would be a fitting reminder of why Kevin Prendergast's former stable jockey was cherry-picked for his current role.

Shakespeare's advice springs to mind.

The Curragh managed to get the Aga Khan to buy the hotel for them,Why he they be the only beneficiaries of his largesse.

The word after why should be should.
