Amo Racing having parted company with retained rider Kevin Stott after only seven months in the job.
The jockey was notified of the decision on Monday morning, bringing to an end a brief association.
He was in action for the team at the Irish Champions Festival this weekend, finishing fourth aboard King Of Steel in the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes.
Bucanero Fuerte, who gave the team their first Group One win in the Phoenix Stakes last month, finished a disappointing third of four behind Henry Longfellow in Sunday's Goffs Vincent O'Brien National Stakes.
Stott wrote on Instagram: “Good morning everyone, I’ve unfortunately woken up to a text message this morning being informed that I will no longer be riding for Amo racing
“I just want to say thank you to all the trainers and staff that’s supported through the year, I’ve been fortunate enough to ride some top class horses, I wish Amo racing all the best going forward.”
He was handed the role in February. Rossa Ryan was previously the number one jockey for Amo Racing but left "by mutual consent" last summer.
Joorabchian told Sun Racing: “I told Kevin thank you very much. This was a collective decision on and off the racetrack. We have decided not to renew his contract for next season. It was always a one-year contract.
“We have done everything that we promised, he (Stott) has done everything he promised and we have parted ways, nothing more than that. I’ve never had a problem with jockeys. I never fell out with Rossa (Ryan), I love him more than anybody, he rode at Royal Ascot for me.He was my only retained jockey, he needed to go out on his own and get experience. I have supported him and he is thriving.
“But you know, Kevin is not a young boy, he has experience. For reasons outside of racing, I have to decide what’s best. I don’t know what jockeys we’ll use now, I’ll leave it to the trainers to pick the best available.”
