First time I've ever seen Jock get some press!
 Sporting Life..... IRISH RAIDER OUT OF LUCK By Tom Peacock, PA Sport Robbie Osborne was not left too disheartened despite his Irish raider King Jock finishing last of seven in the Prix du Muguet at Saint-Cloud on Thursday. The seven-year-old was beaten a shade over six lengths in the Group Two event by the appropriately-named grey Gris De Gris and rider Thierry Thulliez. King Jock has enabled Osborne to travel the world, having last run in Dubai in February and is likely to return to France next. "No luck today - he was in about fourth or fifth but he got tired in the last furlong," said Naas-based Osborne. "The ground was a bit soft and didn't suit him and it was a pretty tough race anyway - I'd have been delighted to finish third or fourth. "I think there's a Group Three at Longchamp on the 30th of the month that we might take a look at, otherwise there's another Group Three at Chantilly on French Derby day. He's entered in Leopardstown too, but I think we'll probably come back to France." The other Pattern event on the card was an Oaks trial, the Prix Cleopatre, and went to Christophe Lemaire on the Alain De Royer-Dupre-trained Leo's Starlet. She was stepping in class following successes on the all-weather at Deauville.
