Philippart de Foy makes Amo switch to Freemason Lodge
The news comes at the same time as the completion of an extensive refurbishment and will see Freire return to his previous role as Amo's private trainer.
'First, I'd like to welcome Kevin Philippart de Foy as our new trainer at Freemason Lodge,' said Joorabchian in a statement posted on Amo's X account.
'Kevin is a fantastic horseman who understands our goals and shares our ambition. Having known and worked with him for several years, it makes this transition even smoother. We know his character fits and our ideas align perfectly.
'We believe he's the right person to take the operation to the next level, and we're excited about what's ahead with him leading the team at this historic yard.
'At the same time, I want to say a big thank you to Raphael for stepping up and doing such a brilliant job getting Freemason up and running. His work over the past few months has been crucial, and he's laid a solid foundation for the future.'
He added: 'Raphael has been a big part of Amo Racing's journey so far, and he continues to be an integral part of our team moving forward.'
Philippart de Foy said: 'I am deeply honoured to have been entrusted with the responsibility of taking over at Freemason Lodge and training such an exciting string of horses for Amo Racing.
'This is a major milestone in my career, and I'm incredibly grateful to Kia and the team for the opportunity.
'Amo Racing's investment and ambition in the sport are truly inspiring, and I look forward to playing my part in what I hope will be a very successful journey together.'

How John Egan has stayed in the saddle
Pop stars rock on nowadays into their seventies. And jockeys too – despite the physical dexterity and instant-decision-making required – are lasting longer. Jimmy Quinn and Franny Norton only quit the saddle in their mid-seventies; Joe Fanning is still going strong at 55. On a sweltering Ascot day recently I enjoyed a chat with John Egan, who was handling the heat better than much younger rivals and is still in demand at 56. Remembering past successes, including the Irish 2000 Guineas on Indian Haven, July Cups on Les Arcs and Passive Pursuit and an Ebor Handicap on 100-1 shot Mudawin, I asked if there was a particular race he still hankered after winning. Egan smiles easily but the answer was a pistol shot: 'I want to win them all.' The self-belief is still there: 'I love riding. While I feel that I can do the job better than most I'll continue. If I felt I wasn't doing a good job any more I'd stop. That would be it. But I'm very confident.' Egan is a man comfortable in his own skin. He admits: 'In my thirties I was a bit wild. I smoked from the age of 12 but I haven't smoked now for nearly a year and I said to myself the other day, 'Jesus, how good a jockey could I have been if I'd given up earlier and hadn't smoked in my forties!'' Athletes in many sports are lasting longer with better diet and exercise advice. In Egan's case, having his jockey son David riding against him has brought a benefit. He had a spell as a trainer but the saddle lured him back, and he acknowledges: 'I'm now doing a different kind of life. I'd never been to the gym in my life but when I started with David I trained him in the gym.' Daughter Amy has just signed up as an apprentice with Jane Chapple-Hyam and with him at Ascot that day was another son, polite young Conor, just 11, who is riding every day and on the equiciser at night. Conor is one of a group of young pony-racers spending time with Belgian-born legend Christophe Soumillon, and – much to the approval of his father – being taught not just how to ride but how to eat, dress and behave. 'He thinks Christophe is a god,' says Egan, who predicts that Soumillon will be responsible 'for a lot of people in our industry going forward over the next two years'. Egan is proud of David, whose contract as rider to the free-spending but picky Amo partnership has just been renewed: 'He does a lot of work behind the scenes. He's got a good brain and is a big asset to them. You'd be glad of the likes of Amo giving contracts to your kids because it's not easy to get such deals any more.' One day, when David rode a double at Doncaster, his father performed the same feat at Chester and they have ridden in a Classic together. Paternal pride though hasn't stopped John from cutting his son up in a race if required. Life has moved too fast, he believes, for some of the younger riders. 'It's easier today,' he says. 'They don't have to be as sharp as we were back in the 1990s. If some of these kids were dropped into a 22-runner field round a sharp track in the north they'd get stage fright. They're not used to it because there aren't so many runners.' It is the older man talking too when he notes huge changes in the training scene. 'Some younger trainers find themselves with a hundred horses. They can't get the staff but they keep taking the horses. The horses aren't as good rides as they used to be because the trainers haven't got enough good people to ride them at home.' The racing authorities, he says, should be looking seriously at stable staff ratios. First riding work for Noel Meade and then apprenticed to Mick O'Toole, Egan was brought up in a harder school. It is a lack of respect which riles him most. In their early days, he and his contemporaries bowed to the wisdom and experience of the likes of Pat Eddery, George Duffield and Bruce Raymond. Not so, he says, with today's young thrusters. 'That's why they're getting in trouble and crashing cars and having drink problems. They have no respect for others or themselves.' With horror he reports: 'Kids today call trainers by their first names. I'm great friends with Ellsie [David Elsworth, trainer of Desert Orchid and some great Flat horses]. I'll go to his house or take him to the races but he is always Mr Elsworth. I've never called him David in my life because that is how I was brought up. When I hear young kids talking of trainers and saying, 'George told me this' or 'George told me that', it turns my stomach.' The key skills haven't altered. Attitudes have.

Aberdeen FC transfer news as fresh move made for Marko Lazetic with Pape Gueye heading for exit
The Dons are in the market for four new faces this summer Aberdeen have tabled a fresh proposal for Marko Lazetic and are also close to netting more than £850,000 for Pape Gueye. The Dons are in talks with AC Milan over their Serbian under-21 cap. Their opening bid was turned down as the Serie A giants look to recoup as much of the €4million they paid Red Star in 2022. The Dons first tried to land the 21-year-old in January, but ran out of time at the end of the window. They have rekindled their interest in the last week with Lazetic unlikely to make an impact at the San Siro. Jimmy Thelin is looking to bring in another striker but is likely to be looking for two. Kasimpasa are closing in on a £850,000 plus move for Gueye. A deal with the Turkish side has still to be finalised but if the move goes ahead then the Dons will net a fee in excess of €1million, plus further add-ons. Aberdeen paid Kortrijk a fee of around £500,000 back in 2023. The Belgian side are also due a chunky sell-on but any move would also see the Pittodrie outfit turn a decent profit. Aberdeen are looking to bring in four new players before the close of the window. You can sign up to our newsletters to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.

Pape Gueye remains in Aberdeen as transfer exit not rubber stamped and Kasimpasa talks continue
The Senegal frontman - who scored eight goals for the Reds last season - is a target for Turkish Super Lig outfit Kasimpasa remain in talks with Aberdeen but have still to close their move for Pape Gueye. Reports in Turkey had claimed a deal was done and he was due to travel there today. The big striker remains in Aberdeen and won't be given the green light to travel unless a fee is agreed. The Turkish side has been in talks with the Dons for several days. They have made an opening bid and negotiations are on-going. Any deal would need to be well in excess of the £500,000 figure that Aberdeen paid Kortrijk back in 2023. The Belgian side are entitled to a chunky sell-on and any move would need to cover that and allow the Dons to make a decent profit. Gueye has also attracted interest from Egypt and the Middle-East this summer. The 25-year-old was a big player for Jimmy Thelin last season. Gueye was signed by but failed to make an initial impact and was sent out to Kristiansund on loan last year before the slate was wiped clean on Thelin's arrival. Aberdeen are already looking to bring in another striker but if Gueye was to go then Thelin would be looking for two. AC Milan striker Marko Lazetic has been a long-term target. The Dons are in talks with the Serie A giants to see if a deal can be agreed. Aberdeen tried to land the Serbian under-21 striker in January but were thwarted by red tape as the window was about to close.
