With Coolmore this didnt happen and they got more and more frustrated with the fact that they were simply riding afternoons and taking orders.
I can't see Fallon returning and none of the English based jocks scream out to me as being the type. I would be shocked if Heffernan and O'Donoghue would be deemed good enough either so it leads me to Soumillion!!

I still think it
could be Heffenan or Queally (Had thought maybe Fallon but then I read they hadn't spoken in the past 6 months , so...).
CSC made a good point about Soumillon and the unlikelihood of him uprooting his family.
Taking it one step further, he just accepted the Yasutoshi Ikee offer in Japan.
Granted that only goes until the end of December but wouldn't it be in poor form to accept if he were about to say yes to AOB?
