Amo Racing confirm split with Rossa Ryan after investigation

Last Updated: Tue 5 Dec 2023
Jockey Rossa Ryan and Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing outfit have officially confirmed the end of their partnership.
Ryan announced at York’s Ebor meeting that he was parting company with his retained owner, but Joorabchian responded to Ryan's claims shortly after his announcement and said: "Amo suspended Rossa Ryan for the weekend pending an internal investigation."
The leading rider has not ridden for Amo Racing since August 19, and the details of the split were not made clear until the duo issued a joint-statement via Twitter on Thursday.
Joorabchian said: “I would like to thank Rossa and I am particularly very happy and proud at everything we achieved together.
“We found Rossa as a young apprentice who looked hungry for success. He came on board the Amo team with little experience and has since developed into a wonderful jockey with a massively bright future, who I have no doubt will be among the best in the world in the near future.
“He has become part of our family in the last two years and he is very dear to our hearts.
“It is for this reason we respect the fact he now wants to explore wider pastures, so he goes with our full blessing and we hope he will ride for us again in the future.”
Ryan, who has tasted Group race glory with the likes of Go Bears Go, Hello You and Persian Force in the Amo silks, is eager to take on new challenges.
He added: “I would like to thank Kia for taking me from obscurity and placing me at the head of Amo Racing. It was a huge gamble for him to give such a mammoth opportunity to someone so young.
“Thankfully we’ve had fantastic success throughout our partnership.
“Personally, I wish him and Amo Racing the best of luck in the future – no doubt they will continue to be hugely successful.
“As a young jockey, I wish to explore new experiences. Leaving Amo has been a difficult decision and I will consider it an honour should they call on me in the future.”
