Exquisite horseman Robson Aguiar has what it takes to stay the course - with or without Kia Joorabchian
Richard Forristal on the news that a number of Amo-owned horses are set to leave the trainer's County Westmeath base

Through the early part of Tuesday it looked like they were in the process of a conscious uncoupling after Aguiar indicated that most of the horses owned in their entirety by Joorabchian's Amo Racing firm were moving out.
