Overview
- Kieran Shoemark has been removed as the Gosden stable's number one jockey following criticism of his ride in the 2000 Guineas, where Field Of Gold finished second.
- The Gosden team announced a new 'best available rider' strategy, moving away from a single retained jockey model.
- Colin Keane and Christophe Soumillon have been confirmed to ride the stable's French 2000 and 1000 Guineas contenders, Detain and Zanzoun, this weekend.
- Shoemark will continue to ride for the stable, including engagements at Chester, where he is set to ride Queen Of Thieves in the Cheshire Oaks.
- The decision comes after a challenging 2024 season for the stable, which recorded its lowest number of winners since 2013.
