This limbo situation is beginning to really drag on without an announcement. Rides tonight at Aintree also rode 2 winners for JP this week.
Didn't ride for a fortnight after Punchestown and since then riding extremely sparingly for the green and gold. Often riding JP's second/third string or getting a single mount.
The rumours for months are that he is sacked but no announcement/finalization. It's surely embarrassing for him-what's the plan - retire after a decent winner at Galway.
I would have thought there isn't a legally-binding contract but almost playing out like there is. How is it resolved without the green and gold letting the mask slip.
A very public ongoing situation, racing media all over it as per normal on the gravy train.
