Like buying money – The two odds-on ‘steering jobs' tipped to leave bookies in tears at Glorious Goodwood
The market suggests they can't get beat BANKERS Like buying money – The two odds-on 'steering jobs' tipped to leave bookies in tears at Glorious Goodwood Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANTE-POST punting is a dangerous road littered with torn betslips and shattered dreams. But every now and then a seemingly golden opportunity presents itself. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Field Of Gold is getting shorter and shorter in the market - but will surely be the good thing of Goodwood and feature in every rolling multiple for the week Credit: PA Too good to be true? Maybe. But unless you take the plunge you'll never know. Punters who like to smash into favourites at very short prices will often talk about the notion of 'buying money'. It doesn't always work. Just this week we saw 2-13 Royal Ascot runner-up Thesecretadversary beaten by a 28-1 outsider. But you'd hope there would be fewer chances for things to go so seismically wrong in Group 1s. And that's where John Gosden's Field Of Gold and Aidan O'Brien's Illinois come in. Both are currently odds-on for their respective races at next week's Glorious Goodwood. Field Of Gold, who perhaps should have won the 2,000 Guineas, and definitely did win the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes, is a best-price 1-2 to win the Sussex Stakes next Wednesday. His big market rival - and second-fav - Rosallion was a big drifter on the Betfair Exchange and could be sent elsewhere. Illinois was second to Trawlerman in last month's Ascot Gold Cup. But he is a proven Group-level performer - albeit he has always come up short in Group 1s - and last finished outside the top two in April 2024 - NINE races ago. He is a best-price 8-11 to win the 2m feature next Tuesday. There is a chance O'Brien could run recent brilliant Newmarket scorer Scandinavia instead. But this looks a golden opportunity for Illinois to get his Group 1, with 4-1 second-fav French Master moving up from handicaps. Backing shorties in a double like this wouldn't be my go-to method of punting. But if you put the pair together now you'd still get better than evens, with a £20 punt returning £48.44 with Ladbrokes.

William Buick booked for Field Of Gold at Goodwood
Narrowly beaten in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket when partnered by Kieran Shoemark, John and Thady Gosden's three-year-old has made no mistake in two subsequent starts under Juddmonte's retained rider Colin Keane, emulating his sire Kingman with brilliant victories in both the Irish Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. With Keane currently serving a suspension after contravening the whip rules, connections needed to secure a new pilot for Field Of Gold's next appearance – and having revealed Buick was 'on the list' of potential riders two weeks ago, he has now been confirmed for the high-profile mount. Where were you when… Field Of Gold blew the Royal @Ascot crowd away with a scintillating performance in the St James's Palace Stakes! — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) June 24, 2025 Barry Mahon, Juddmonte's European racing manager, told the PA news agency: 'I think John and Thady were to talk to William yesterday to confirm his availability and it sounds like they've done that and he's free to ride him, so I'd say that's the plan. 'In fairness, until you get to within a week of the event you don't know what other trainers and jockeys are doing, but obviously William has been able to commit now which is good. 'He's a top-class rider and rode a Group One winner for us last October on board Kalpana, so it's good to have him on board.' Field Of Gold is set to head a quality Juddmonte team bound for the Sussex Downs, with fellow three-year-olds Cosmic Year and Jonquil also poised for action. Jonquil (left) winning the Greenham Stakes at Newbury (David Davies/PA) The Harry Charlton-trained Cosmic Year was second to Field Of Gold in the Irish 2,000 Guineas before failing to fire in the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville, while Andrew Balding's Greenham Stakes winner and French Guineas runner-up Jonquil will step back up in trip after finding the six furlongs of the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot too sharp. Field Of Gold's Lockinge-winning stablemate Lead Artist meanwhile holds a Sussex Stakes entry, but appears unlikely to be on the Goodwood squad. 'I'd say Cosmic Year will run in the Thoroughbred Stakes, the Group Three over a mile, at the minute that's the plan,' Mahon added. 'Jonquil worked nicely this morning and he's a probable to run in the Lennox over seven (furlongs). 'Lead Artist is in the Sussex, but I'd say he's more likely to wait. He won't run against Field Of Gold I'd imagine, so I'm not sure what the plans are for him at this stage.'

Rosallion a massive drifter for the Sussex as Field Of Gold jockey confirmed with Colin Keane banned from Goodwood
The markets don't often get it wrong SO SALLI CAN WAIT Rosallion a massive drifter for the Sussex as Field Of Gold jockey confirmed with Colin Keane banned from Goodwood Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SUPERSTAR miler Rosallion is a big drifter for next week's Sussex Stakes at Goodwood - as Field Of Gold's jockey was finally confirmed. Richard Hannon's multiple Group 1 winner has gone right out on the Betfair Exchange. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Richard Hannon has some big decisions to make on where he runs Rosallion next - but it looks like it may not be in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood Credit: PA He was second-fav for the £1million contest next Wednesday but has been usurped by Aidan O'Brien's Henri Matisse. Rosallion's price on the Exchange has ballooned from 5 (4-1) to 9 (8-1), while he remains a general 7-2 chance on sportsbooks. Hannon - who saw his stable star lose the Queen Anne by a nose on his last run - had said the 7f City Of York at next month's Ebor Festival could be on the cards. But he also said the 1m Prix Jacques Le Marois (worth around £200,000 more to the winner than the City Of York) is a strong possibility too. It's very unlikely he would do both given they are less than a week apart, with the French race on August 17 and City Of York August 23. Rosallion's drift came as William Buick was confirmed for the ride on Field Of Gold, who is already as short as 4-9 for the Sussex. Juddmonte's retained rider Colin Keane - who would have been on the top three-year-old - is banned from Goodwood after breaking whip rules at Sandown earlier this month. Buick was previously a jockey at Clarehaven and enjoys a good relationship with the horse's trainer John Gosden. Oisin Murphy has been totally overlooked in light of his ban and fine for drink-driving. Gosden said: "William came in and rode Field Of Gold this morning and if he's free next Wednesday he will ride, providing Godolphin don't supplement one into the race. "They worked nicely together and it's all systems go for Goodwood. "William and I have a long association going back to the pre-Frankie Dettori era."
