C keane

waht did he do wrong there?

I thought there he could have been a bit more pro active on gosdens even allowing for trouble

See it all the time at Sandown.

Just 5 runners and boxed in like a kipper.

disappointingly restrained post

nowt apart from being trapped on rail in a slow run race over 7f.

His main crime was not getting after the horse when he eventually got a run - he'd have won

ffs why don't commentators say it as it is?
Complete **** up by Keane, the world and his wife know you can't do that at Sandown.

Happens a lot at sandown mics. Jockeys need to be more proactive rather than reactive. He had a furlong n half  to steady him then switch him out for his run. Watching the race you knew what was gonna happen after 2 furlongs. Shoemark would've been roasted for that and rightly too

He is great jockey but warning to UK each way punters,  once winning chance goes he generally  goes easy so he is not an each way punter man

Exactly the pomp

would have won by 3 lengths if he has come down the outside - needs to learn his lesson fast- poor ride

He was hardly helped by his own stablemate either.
Clearly should have won

Lydia did say he wont want that in his recordings or tapes something like that
going for a run up the rails at Sandown is asking for trouble finished well
but winner was eased down and value for a bit more imo

He has had a few poor rides since getting the Juddmonte gog!

not a great ride...just a maiden though.....

Sandown in many respects is a flapping track,  it's law on to itself and you ll find the best horse doesn't always win

Gig!!

Poor of marquand not to let him out , don't think gosden be impressed

He obviously doesn't know how much ground you can make up at Sandown up the hill. He resigned himself to 2nd when he was still a big player

Say it as it is. It was an absolutely shocking ride. Boxed in in a 5 runner race. Terrible

to be fair always looked like the gap was going to come but never did as buick was running green both ways, if keane had put the horse in to the gap when it was almost there,he,d have probably made himself the gap

Dont agree with that...He is the go to man for gambles in Ireland.

of course may be different in maidens etc

i did back his one at Sandown, but you just have to accept it and move one.

He should have a look a Callum Sheperd on Staya.

or staya should try falling out of stalls on round course and win

A ludicrous comment.....

Helearnt his lesson

on the outside no probs

no more ludicrous than comparing rides on the straight track and the round course

He has learnt quickly.

He has learnt quickly.

not sure wether its the ground,but i cant remember seeing so many horses reffing,going left,right,throwing their heads in the air making jocks look like 7lb claimers as theres been at sandown so far today

28 years ago already!!!

Two wins from 3 fancied rides. Fine by me as I back Balding on Fridays. Windlord very close though.

He made difference on Windlord

Ban coming with 8 strikes on Windlord.

8 with the banjo and to be fair didnt miss him with any of them,pretty brutal in slow mo,no fresh air shots  of wafts there

i mistook the judmonte horses in  the earlier race. i thoght the marquand horse was the one c keane was riding . apologies.

Sean levey could learn from young Keane with the whip ,levey uses it too sparingly and it cost him at ascot , that extra one or2 makes difference with decent force ,levey good jockey but itcpuld use stick bit more in my opinion

yep, 14 day stick ban in peak summer racing is the way to go

Keane normally doesn't use the whip that much. He normally only uses it when he really has to, and rarely like today.

Wanting to see animals beaten hard with a stick to win a few
bob is not for me I'm afraid.

Doncaster 30 March 2025:
Race 4 - The William Hill More Top Prices Handicap (Class 3)
Sean Levey, the rider of the winner, DARK THIRTY (IRE), was found to have used his whip once
above the permitted level of six from approximately two furlongs out. As Levey was referred to the
Judicial Panel on 31 January 2025 for ‘totting up’ previous whip offences, the deferred suspension
of 5 days was imposed by the Panel for a further whip breach within the next 6 months or 200 rides
was triggered. Therefore, Levey will be suspended for 9 days from Tuesday 15 to Wednesday 23
April 2025, inclusive.

Probably still fuming after Publish

he wont want murphy having a purple patch riding baldings juddmonte horses whilst on sabatical
