Johnny Murtagh's contract as retained rider for the owner's Irish-trained horses has been terminated, according to the Aga Khan's Irish stud farm manager Pat Downes.
The 42-year-old has ridden numerous Group One winners for the influential owner-breeder, notably guiding Sinndar to victory in the Epsom Derby, the Irish Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 2000 when stable jockey to John Oxx.
Downes said: "I can confirm it (Murtagh's departure) is true. I don't have a whole lot more to say, other than there were differences between the parties and it was agreed that we would part."
