Colin Keane ruled out of Goodwood by 14-day whip ban
Keane used his whip eight times in the closing stages of the contest, a count permissible in Ireland but not in England as the limit in Britain is six strikes in Flat contests.
The British Horseracing Authority's whip review committee has fined him £350 and suspended him from July 22 to August 4, a spell that will see him miss Sussex Stakes ride aboard Field Of Gold – with whom he won both the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes.
Speaking at Sandown on Saturday, the rider said: 'I'm so used to eight (strikes) as it is at home, I just have to abide by the rules here.
'That's the only way I can put it, I know six is the amount over here but when I was in a ding-dong battle, I suppose it just went out of my head unfortunately.
'It's unfortunate but it's my own fault.'

Pitch invasion STOPS Celtic trophy presentation in Cork
Brendan Rodgers' side won the pre-season friendly encounter 2-1 thanks to goals from Luke McCowan and a late header by Colby Donovan to score the winner. In the Irish sun, a packed-out crowd watched on in anticipation to see the Scottish Premiership champions in action. But after the full-time whistle had sounded, some young, eager fans could not contain their excitement, as they invaded the pitch to get up close with their heroes. Hundreds of youngsters streamed onto the field as the match organisers prepared to hand the trophy to Hoops skipper Callum McGregor. It was all taken in good spirits by the Celts stars and staff, with Rodgers & Co. happy to pose for photos and high-fives with the kids. However, it soon became clear that the trophy presentation had been cancelled as a result of the mass pitch invasion. And so, Celtic's players and staff continued to mingle with those who had made their way onto the pitch before heading for the away dressing room in Cork after another productive pre-season workout.
