Colin Keane is stoical about the penalty he looks set to receive for seemingly contravening the whip rules at Sandown on Friday as he adjusts to the differing rules in Britain.
The Irishman was riding Windlord in the Listed Gala Stakes for his chief employers Juddmonte when he appeared to give the horse eight strikes when battling for a narrow victory - a figure that would have been permissible in Ireland.
