The news broke like a thunderbolt, with Aguiar receiving a text message on Sunday informing him of the decision. Joorabchian, a key figure in the Amo Racing operation, has decided to relocate the majority of his exclusively owned horses, leaving Aguiar without some of his most successful and promising charges. This departure includes notable names such as Bull Shark, Ocean Club, and Blixen Force, who are headed to California, and What A Girl Wants, Force Noir, and Blanc De Blanc, who will join Freemason Lodge.
