William Buick ‘on the list' for vacant Field Of Gold ride

William Buick ‘on the list' for vacant Field Of Gold ride

Narrowly denied by Ruling Court in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket when partnered by Kieran Shoemark, the John and Thady Gosden-trained grey has made no mistake in two subsequent outings under Juddmonte's new retained rider Colin Keane, dominating his rivals in the Irish Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
However, with Keane ruled out of the entirety of the Goodwood Festival after picking up a 14-day suspension at Sandown last week for transgressing the whip rules, Field Of Gold will require another change of jockey on July 30.
Juddmonte's European racing manager Barry Mahon insists no final decision will be made until closer to the time, but told the PA news agency on Saturday: 'I'm sure he (Buick) is on the list, but we'll have to wait and see whether Godolphin have a runner in the race and everything else nearer the time.
'All being well we're heading to Goodwood – that is plan A. I saw the horse myself earlier this week, he looked in good shape and seems to be doing well.
'We'll make a decision on who rides him closer to the time.'

Publish schedule will follow some classy names

John and Thady Gosden's son of Kingman is already well accustomed to the Esher track having run there in both of his starts to date, winning impressively last time out when getting the better of Charlie Appleby's Catullus. As short as 10-1 with Ladbrokes and Coral for next year's 2000 Guineas, the exciting colt will now get the chance to not only emulate his father, but also Clarehaven stablemate Field Of Gold who won the Group Three event in the Juddmonte silks 12 months ago. 'He's a lovely colt and a horse that we like a lot,' said Barry Mahon, European racing manager for owners Juddmonte. 'He will probably follow a route similar to Field Of Gold and go back to Sandown for the Solario Stakes on his next start. 'It should suit him going back to Sandown, John and Thady have used that route for some nice horses and obviously Kingman and Field Of Gold are two who have won it. Now he's had his two runs I think we will stick to that plan. 'James Doyle was very complimentary of him and the only thing he did say was the ground was on the soft side that day and he would appreciate better ground, which is something we'll bear in mind going forward. But he's very much a nice colt.'
