It seems Frankie, although 'senior' jockey at Godolphin, was losing good rides to two up-and-coming stable stars. Reports suggests he was unhappy, not unnaturally, to have lost top spot at Godolphin and going freelance will enable him to ride for other stables. The relationship at Godolphin has worked well for both sides but it looks as though it had run out of steam.

Pogs , you naughty , I just won"t have it . giggle
Anyway , heard it on the tail end of " five live" , so guess we will have to wait and see what transpires in the next couple of days .
He is now over forty though and whilst he was under contract to Godolphin had to go where they sent him , he perhaps feels he wants to be free lance .
Will watch this space with interest .
Be good , I am trying to be !! LOL

I just caught the tail end of this today.

Did he leave or was he pushed, although it might have been gently.

I ask the question not in a naughty way, I simply don't know the truth having missed half the story. confused

Sorry he is leaving Godolphin, but all things must come to an end . Maybe also , he thinks the time has come , to not be as active . We love frankie , well I do . sunshine
