Wait 5 sec.

William Buick will be available to ride at the Qatar Goodwood Festival next week, despite being given an eight-day ban for careless riding at Windsor on Monday evening.“An enquiry was held to consider interference approximately one furlong out involving Sunshine Star, placed second, ridden by William Buick and Crystal Pier, unplaced, ridden by Rossa Ryan,” read a report issued by the Windsor stewards following the British Stallion Studs EBF Support The Big Bear Voyage Fillies' Handicap.“Saffie Osborne, the rider of Mythical Bird, placed third, was also interviewed but found to be not involved. Buick was suspended for eight days for careless riding as he angled his mount left-handed to continue his run when insufficiently clear of Crystal Pier, causing Ryan to clip heels and stumble badly.”Buick will serve his suspension between August 3 and August 10, making him free to ride during the five-day meeting in Sussex which starts next Tuesday.The post Buick Suspended for Eight Days for Careless Riding appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
