After weeks of speculation it’s been confirmed that top jockey William Buick will get the sought-after Field Of Gold ride in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood later this month.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juddmonte and Gosden Turn To William Buick For Spare Field Of Gold Ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With Juddmonte retained rider Colin Keane serving a 14-day suspension, the ride on the classy Field Of Gold in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

However, it was confirmed on Wednesday – a week before the Sussex Stakes – that top rider William Buick has been handed the reins.<\/p>\n

Buick is the main Godolphin pilot, but with their two remaining entries Notable Speech and Ruling Court unlikely runners – then Juddmonte and trainer John Gosden have turned to the ‘boys in blue’<\/em> rider.<\/p>\n

William Buick was also the former stable jockey at Clarehaven, so it’s no shocker John and Thady Gosden have turned to the 37 year-old.<\/p>\n

Gosden and Buick teamed up at Royal Ascot to win the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes on Ombudsman last month and the duo will now get the chance to add more Group One glory with Field Of Gold.<\/p>\n

This year’s Irish 2000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes winner is regarded as one of the best flat horses in training at the moment – so it’s no shock to see horse racing betting sites<\/a> making Field Of Gold as short as 1\/2 in the Sussex Stakes market.<\/p>\n

The Sussex Stakes is one of the showcase races at the five-day Glorious Goodwood meeting – which runs from Tues 29th July to Saturday 2nd August.<\/p>\n

Field Of Gold’s sire Kingman was also a past winner of the Sussex Stakes in 2014, and he was also trained by a certain John Gosden.<\/p>\n

In total Gosden has won the Goodwood Group One just twice – with his only other success in the race coming in 2019 with Too Darn Hot.<\/p>\n

William Buick is also the current winning rider in the Sussex Stakes – having won the lucrative prize 12 months ago with Notable Speech.<\/p>\n

That win was Buick’s first win in the race, but now he’s been confirmed as the Field Of Gold jockey – it will be a brave person to say he’s not doing to be doubling his tally later this month.<\/p>\n
