Overview

• The Whip Review Committee found Keane struck the whip eight times on Windlord at Sandown, two above the permitted six strikes from one and a half furlongs out.
• Class 1 races carry doubled penalties for whip breaches, turning what would be a standard ban into a 14-day suspension.
• The suspension runs from July 22 through August 4, ruling Keane out of the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
• Juddmonte is evaluating Oisin Murphy, Rossa Ryan and Kieran Shoemark as potential replacements on Field Of Gold.
• Keane was named Juddmonte’s first retained rider since 2014 on June 9 after guiding Field Of Gold to wins in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes.
