English jockey Ryan Moore obviously believes So You Think is no world champion. He's dumped the Aussie star to ride Workforce in the Grp 1 Eclipse Stakes at Sandown UK. Moore was aboard when SYT went down in the Prince of Wales Stakes in what turned out to be another cocked-up race masterminded by the Aiden O'Brien stable. So, who will ride SYT in the Eclipse? It might be Steven Arnold. He's trying to regain the ride, though whether the Irish geniuses will book him is another matter altogether!

Change of mind...Peter Snowden and the Darley crew have decided that Beaded will NOT be retired. She'll race on. Snowden says Beaded will havesix weeks off and be brought back for a light campaign in the spring before a Sydney autumn campaign and perhaps another Brisbane winter carnival!
