Frankie/Gosden

[HoldenTheReins]

What do people make about the situation between Frankie & Gosden currently?

Slap on the wrist?
Partnership done?

If so what next for both of them?

Hollie Doyle bookies favourite to take over.

Frankie should've left after the outbursts gosden came out with

Some way to show loyalty to a jockey who has been top draw for him for years after a few average rides

Real lack of class that was from gosden

As to who is likely to take over I'm not sure, would be a little surprised if it was hollie though her winning on nashwa in the Diane the other day won't have harmed her chances

If I was gosden I'd be trying to poach James Doyle from his second string godolphin job or contact Colin Keane about moving over the channel

His prospects of the coolmore job look very distant atm with ryan coming right back to his best after an average year or two

big if it is a complete split, they should go all out for Colin Keane in my opinion

If Colin Keane wanted a move to UK, surely it would have happened already? He pretty much has the pick of rides in Ireland outside of Coolmore and Jessica Harrington. Gosden might go for someone younger, as he had Buick there as number 1 for a few years.

To where exactly in the UK?

Not been any top jobs up for grabs

He'd have been high profile enough to have been in the running for Stoute and Haggas before Kingscote or Marquand if he or those trainers had wanted to link up. Alternatively, Oisin Murphy started at Balding but developed into a bit more of a freelance but backed up by a Middle East owner rather than trainer. There's more than way to make it over in UK for an Irish jockey.

Bit of a crappy ending for Frankie, if it is actually an ending at Gosden's, as the RP reports they never returned his calls but he'll still get rides elsewhere. All the jockeys mentioned as replacements will get plenty of winners as they're all high standard. Would be a big statement if they went for Hollie.

BREAKING: John Gosden and Frankie Dettori have agreed to “take a sabbatical” by mutual consent. Gosden "does not intend to appoint a stable jockey at Clarehaven" - Racing Post

 

[Redbridge]

Frankie is still a great jockey but now has more off days than in the past, RA highlighted that the off days can be more frequent than his heyday produced.

Gosden can only be loyal to his owners and they must come first, anyone remember Henry Cecil's wife at the time telling the Sheik that they can get by without his animals, only the great man could have recovered from that bombshell after spending ages in the wilderness.

That was a long sabbatical
