‘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.
