Overview

  • Buick was confirmed as Field Of Gold’s jockey for the Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood on July 30, replacing Colin Keane.
  • In a Newmarket trial over seven and a half furlongs on the Al Bahathri Polytrack, Buick pulled a length clear to showcase early rapport with the colt.
  • Field Of Gold, a three-year-old Kingman colt trained by John and Thady Gosden, is unbeaten in his last two starts following wins in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes.
  • Colin Keane is serving a two-week ban imposed by the Whip Review Committee for breaching whip rules, ruling him out of next week’s Group 1 contest.
  • Buick reunites with the Gosdens after his tenure as John Gosden’s stable jockey through 2014 and brings extensive Group 1 success to Juddmonte’s mile specialist.
