Kieran Shoemark loses job as number one rider for John and Thady Gosden

Kieran Shoemark has lost his job as number one rider for John and Thady Gosden just four days after finishing second aboard Field Of Gold in Saturday's Betfred 2000 Guineas.

Thady Gosden revealed on Nick Luck's podcast that the yard will now use the "best available rider" strategy, but Shoemark will still ride for them when required.

Shoemark has been under increased pressure since replacing Frankie Dettori as the stable's number one in 2024, and the decision was made following his defeat aboard the 15-8 favourite in the Newmarket Classic which received plenty of criticism in the aftermath.

Watch below what John Gosden had to say on Racing TV about the ride.
