Osborne Joy But Blow For Sanders VC Bet go 5-6 each of two against Jamie Spencer and Seb Sanders in the race for the jockeys' title after the latter had his total reduced by one as Jamie Osborne proved successful in his appeal against the demotion of Six Of Diamonds at Bath earlier this month.Ridden by William Buick, Six Of Diamonds finished a short head in front of the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Gold Hush and Sanders, but the result was amended in the stewards' room and Buick handed a one-day ban for careless riding.Osborne was far from happy afterwards and immediately indicated his intention to contest the ruling before the British Horseracing Authority's disciplinary panel.Sanders now stands on 145 for the season as a result of the verdict and trails Jamie Spencer by two after the former champion struck in the opener at Pontefract and also at Wolverhampton's evening meeting, where he was on the mark with the Osborne-trained Hareem.VC Bet spokesman Neal Wilkins said: 'It's one of our liveliest markets at the moment and our clients are putting their money down and tying their colours to the mast.'We took several large four-figure wagers last week-end and with Jamie Spencer and Seb Sanders both neck and neck this looks like a market that will go right through to the end of the turf Flat season.'(C) PA Sport
