My guess is that it goes more like this.
The breeders call out of interest, to the guy who owes them nothing since they only bred the horse, they don't own it or have any influence in even the slightest way, and O Brien says to be polite, perhaps this. The breeders tell a few folks, including your friend, what the speculative plans are. your friend tells you.
I guess this is the definition of an insider at Ballydoyle.

Or do you actually speak to O'Brien?
Not AO. Tim Corballis. You really have no idea how this business works.

Stick to buying horses off the track. Being in a winners circle photo means nothing and you know that. Who is your friend that knows Dr. O'Byrne? I actually saw Hawk Wings first foal last year at Bryanstown House. I am very curious who you would know that is friends with Dr. O'Byrne. Your story sounds pretty unlikely.
