A good many years ago now, aged about 20, I was lucky enough to live with the late John Hills in Davy Cormack's Ardagh House Hotel in Killenaule during his time in Edward O'Grady's. I can vividly remember the visits of his father Barry which invariably involved dinner in Bryan Murphy's in Adare with a host of other larger than life characters like Pat Hogan, Greville Starkey, Brian Taylor and Frank Barry. It was a privilege for me as a young man to spend time in Barry's company, always great fun with plenty of mischief and storytelling of the highest order. A great man who will be sadly missed. –Paul Shanahan The post Letter To The Editor: Barry Hills Tribute appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

A visit to Richard Kent at Mickley Stud is guaranteed to involve some lively conversation – and lots of it – spiced with opinion, tips on horsemanship, and often some scurrilous gossip. We've edited the gossip for legal reasons but it is still very much worth tuning into our latest episode of the TDN Conversations podcast in which Richard talks us through daily life in Shropshire and reflects on some of the stars to have been through his hands. Of the G1 Queen Anne Stakes victory of Docklands, by Mickey Stud sire Massaat, the breeder has tears in his eyes when he says, “It was the proudest day of my life. I actually didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to soak it all in. I was that proud, and I still get a bit emotional today talking about it. “I almost wanted to go home and give the mare and the sire a pat, but that would have been a bit of a stupid job to do when you're down at Royal Ascot. But I just wanted to go away for a quiet hour and get my thoughts together…you can't buy days like that.” The straight-talking Irishman is also in favour of encouraging the younger members of the bloodstock community to put down their iPads and learn instead from the horses in front of them and from those who have gone before. “We've an awful lot to learn from people slightly older than us,” he says. “When we grew up on the farm there were always some really good old stockmen, cattlemen, and I learned a lot from listening to them.” We too can learn a lot from listening to Richard Kent. https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Richard-Kent-Conversations_v1-1.mp3 Click here to listen to the podcast.

Colin Keane has received a 14-day suspension and a £350 fine after being found to have used his whip eight times when partnering Windlord to victory in last week's Listed Gala Stakes at Sandown, twice above the permitted level. Crucially, Keane is set to miss the ride aboard his Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes winner Field Of Gold, should the son of Kingman line up in the G1 His Highness The Amir Of Qatar Sussex Stakes, which takes place on Wednesday, July 30. Keane, who was named Juddmonte's number one jockey early last month, will be suspended from Tuesday, July 22 to Monday, August 4, inclusive. “Colin Keane, the rider of the winner Windlord, was found to have used his whip twice above the permitted level of six from one and a half furlongs out,” read a summary of the Whip Review Committee's findings published on Tuesday. “Taking into account that this was a Class 1 race, the penalty in respect of the above permitted level was doubled. Therefore, he will be suspended for 14 days from Tuesday 22 July – Monday 4 August 2025 inclusive. He was also fined £350.” Speaking at Sandown on Saturday, Keane, who is a six-time champion Flat jockey in Ireland, said, “I'm so used to eight [strikes] as it is at home, I just have to abide by the rules here. “That's the only way I can put it. I know six is the amount over here but, when I was in a ding-dong battle, I suppose it just went out of my head unfortunately. It's unfortunate but it's my own fault.” The post Colin Keane to Miss Field Of Gold’s Sussex Bid with 14-Day Whip Ban appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
