Five jockeys miss Glorious Goodwood day three after emergency plane landing

“The main thing is they got back down and they are all safe now. Rowan was sending me messages in the air asking me to let John Quinn and Alice Haynes know he wouldn’t be able to ride their horses today and I was telling him not to worry about that in the grand scheme of things.”

Hannity added: “It was Rowan’s first time in a private plane – he said it’s also his last.”

Magellan Cloud was instead partnered by Saffie Osborne, while replacements were also sourced for the other jockeys’ scheduled rides.

Naana’s Sparkle, the second horse due to be ridden by Scott, was guided to victory by replacement jockey Charlie Bishop in the fifth race of the day.

In Thursday’s Group 1 Nassau Stakes, Aidan O’Brien’s Whirl, ridden by Ryan Moore, finished first despite the gruelling conditions.

After a 10-minute delay, the race began under a flag start rather than from the stalls due to safety concerns as torrential rain made the ground heavy.

Whirl, the 6-5 favourite, stormed to a five-length victory with Cercene second and See The Fire third.
