‘One of the worst rides of all time' – Champion jockey gets a pasting from punters after Sandown shocker

The horse is still one to watch for the future 'ABSOLUTE PANTS' 'One of the worst rides of all time' – Champion jockey gets a pasting from punters after Sandown shocker CHAMPION Irish jockey and Juddmonte No1 Colin Keane got a pasting from punters after 'one of the worst rides of all time' at Sandown. The usually ultra-reliable Keane suffered a stinker aboard the John & Thady Gosden-trained Publish at the Surrey track. Advertisement 2 Juddmonte retained rider Colin Keane suffered a rare howler on the hugely promising Publish at Sandown Credit: Getty 2 The favourite finished full of running on the outside having had a horror passage Credit: PA Backed into 6-4 from 2-1, a lot was expected from the exciting son of Kingman on his debut in a red-hot Tattersalls £40,000 EBF Novice Stakes over seven furlongs. Breaking from stall two Keane looked to have the perfect chance to grab the inside running rail. He opted to drop the horse in behind Godolphin's William Buick-ridden Key Of Magic as the field settled. And it looked to have been the prudent play three furlongs from home as Keane and Publish settled in the leader's slipstream. Advertisement But things started looking dicey two furlongs out as the smooth-travelling Publish jostled for room. Keane was forced to take pull, get going again, take a pull again… all the while waiting for a gap to appear on the inner. But it never did. In that time eventual winner Pacifica Pier, ridden by James Doyle had got first run on the outside. Advertisement Keane was forced to switch with half a furlong to go and flashed home in the second behind the 13-2 winner. He looked the ultimate eyecatcher but, in truth, given even half a chance more it's likely Publish would have won. Punters who were in on the Publish gamble couldn't believe their luck afterwards. One joked 'bring back Kieran Shoemark' in reference to the Gosdens' former No1 jockey who lost his job after Field Of Gold's runner-up finish in the 2,000 Guineas. Advertisement To Keane's credit he is two-from-two on the Gosdens' other top class talent. ITV Racing tipster Tom Collins labelled Keane's ride 'absolutely pants' while a third said: "How has Colin Keane just lost on Publish? One of the WORST rides of all time. Horse looks a star though, would have won so, so easy." Punters will have to forgive and forget quickly if they want to go in on him again. Publish has already been smashed into as short as 20-1 from 50s for next year's 2,000 Guineas.

Saqqara Sands lifts Eternal prize at Carlisle

The Oasis Dream filly gained compensation after finding only potential top-notcher Formal too good in the Surrey Stakes at Epsom on her return from a 223-day absence. Ralph Beckett's three-year-old pulled away to win by two and a half lengths at even-money to triumph for the first time at Listed level in the hands of Rossa Ryan. 'She's a lightly-raced filly and I think she'll improve as she gets up to a mile. You wouldn't know, but she might not be done yet,' Ryan told Racing TV. 'The rain-softened ground probably isn't her best ground, she's probably better on good ground. I just thought the last day at Epsom she was very green and it was her first run of the season so she was bound to come forward. I can see a bit more improvement to come.' Karl Burke and Clifford Lee completed a quickfire double in the Tattersalls £40,000 EBF Novice Stakes with Reciprocated landing odds of 10-11. The son of Havana Grey cost 450,000 guineas as a yearling and won impressively at Nottingham on debut, and he scooted home by four lengths despite drifting right across the course in the final furlong. Assistant trainer James Cowley said: 'He's turning out to be a real nice horse. He ran well at Nottingham and we knew he'd come on for the race and there was a lot of hype about other horses going into that race. He showed a good bit that day. 'We knew the slower ground here would be an advantage and he'll be a horse that stays further than this. He's come on a hell of a lot and he'll come on again for that today. He's got plenty of size and scope about him. This track would have brought out his best today, a good staying track.' The preceding race had seen Lam Yai put a disappointing debut behind her to make a big impression when winning the Racing Staff Week Maiden Stakes by two and three-quarter lengths. The Lucky Vega filly was last of eight runners on her racecourse bow at Thirsk, but this was a different story as she scored at 11-4. Cowley said: 'We were disappointed after Thirsk and scratching our heads a little bit. It was probably the quick ground that day and (on) this soft ground she definitely did what we thought she was capable of.' On The River came out on top in one of the closest finishes in the storied history of the AGMA 20 Years Of Franklin Ownership Carlisle Bell Handicap. The seven-furlong race, which was first contested in 1599, saw Harriet Bethell's 14-1 charge take the honours via a photo-finish, with David and Nicola Barron's Good Morning Alex beaten by a nose and Sailthisshipalone, trained by Richard Fahey, just another head behind in third. Ryan also celebrated a double after guiding Rogue Millions to a routine victory in the Stablemate By AGMA Cumberland Plate Handicap. James Owen's colt, who went off as the 11-8 favourite, looked comfortable when tracking the leaders before making his move with two furlongs to go as he secured his second straight success by four lengths. The in-form Jack Channon made it six winners from his last eight runners as Hot Cash struck late to win the Lady Dacre Bell Handicap. The 4-1 favourite timed his run to perfection along the rail to get up by half a length from Yermanthere. Blufferonthebus (7-2) came from back to front to land the concluding Ladies Night Sat 5th July Fillies' Handicap for Craig Lidster. Jockey Sam James remained patient in the six-furlong race before sweeping around the outside to challenge leader Orangesandlemons, pipping her to the line by half a length.
