William Buick ‘on the list' for vacant Field Of Gold ride
However, with Keane ruled out of the entirety of the Goodwood Festival after picking up a 14-day suspension at Sandown last week for transgressing the whip rules, Field Of Gold will require another change of jockey on July 30.
Juddmonte's European racing manager Barry Mahon insists no final decision will be made until closer to the time, but told the PA news agency on Saturday: 'I'm sure he (Buick) is on the list, but we'll have to wait and see whether Godolphin have a runner in the race and everything else nearer the time.
'All being well we're heading to Goodwood – that is plan A. I saw the horse myself earlier this week, he looked in good shape and seems to be doing well.
'We'll make a decision on who rides him closer to the time.'

Stanford hires former Nike CEO John Donahoe as athletic director, AP source says
Former Nike CEO John Donahoe has been hired as athletic director at Stanford. A person familiar with the decision said Donahoe will become the school's eighth athletic director and replace Bernard Muir, who stepped down this year. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the hiring hadn't been announced. ESPN first reported the move. Donahoe graduated from Stanford Business School and has worked at companies like Nike, Bain & Company and eBay in his career. He was CEO at Nike from 2020-24. He takes over one of the countries most successful athletic programs with Stanford having won at least one NCAA title in 49 straight years starting in 1976-77 and a record 137 NCAA team titles overall. But the Cardinal struggled in the high-profile sports of football and men's basketball under Muir's tenure, leading to the decision to hire former Stanford and NFL star Andrew Luck to oversee the football program as its general manager. The Cardinal are looking to rebound in football after going to three Rose Bowls under former coach David Shaw in Muir's first four years as AD. Shaw resigned in 2022 following a second straight 3-9 season and Muir's hire, Troy Taylor, has posted back-to-back 3-9 seasons. The men's basketball program hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since Muir's second season in 2013-14 under former coach Johnny Dawkins. Dawkins was fired in 2016 and replaced by Jerod Haase, who failed to make the tournament once in eight years. Muir hired Kyle Smith last March to take over and the Cardinal went 21-14 for their most wins in 10 years. Muir also hired Kate Paye as women's basketball coach last year after Hall of Famer Tara VanDerveer retired. The Cardinal went 16-15 this past season and in missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1987. Muir also oversaw the Cardinal's transition to the ACC this past year after the school's long-term home, the Pac-12, broke apart. ___

Field Of Gold found to be lame after Sussex Stakes disappointment
John and Thady Gosden's star three-year-old was sent off the 1-3 favourite to emulate his sire Kingman and thrive against his elders on the Sussex Downs, but could only finish fourth as his Juddmonte-owned pacemaker Qirat caused a seismic shock at 150-1. The Clarehaven training team suggested the 'engine wasn't there' in the immediate aftermath of the contest and now a potential reason for his disappointing performance could have been found. 150/1 WINNER 🤯 Qirat lands the @VisitQatar Sussex Stakes! 🏆@Goodwood_Races — Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 30, 2025 'We don't have the full picture yet, but he is lame on his left-hind,' Barry Mahon, European racing manager for Juddmonte, told the PA news agency. 'John called me this morning at 7am and said he was 'off' behind with a bit of swelling in his leg and the vet is due out to see him later today so until we have the full picture we can't fully diagnose it. 'But the fact he is lame suggests that could potentially be why we didn't see the true horse that we know yesterday. We just have to sit tight now until the vet can run through all the tests he can run through.' With the severity of Field Of Gold's setback still to be determined, it is unknown at this stage when one of the standout performers of the 2025 season will be next seen in competitive action. Mahon continued: 'Plans are on ice and the thing with these things is, it might be a week before anything will show up on an X-ray or whatever, so it's not something you will have an answer for straight away. 'But the fact the horse is lame indicates there is an issue and we have to address that. What that is and whether it will be a short fix or a long fix, we just don't know at this stage.' Despite Field Of Gold's surprise reversal, there was still plenty of joy for the Juddmonte team with Ralph Beckett's Qirat stealing the spotlight, with Mahon reflecting on a race of contrasting fortunes. He added: 'It was disappointing from a Field Of Gold point of view, but from a Juddmonte point of view the winner is a home bred and won it in good style and there has to be some satisfaction in that. 'As someone said to me yesterday, it was bittersweet but there was still plenty of sweet.'
