Jockey riding Shane Warne's horse: (Image Source: Twitter
Popular Jockey, Noel Callow recently paid a tribute to former legendary Australian spinner Shane Warner after winning the 1200m race on Saturday. Apparently, the jockey was riding Sacred Oath- the horse that was part-owned by Shane Warne. And, on Saturday, it won its first-ever career race on the Goal Coast. Following the victory, Jockey Noel Callow rolled his arm over at the finish line in a bid to pay tribute to late Shane Warne. For the unversed, the Australian legendary spinner passed away last month while he was vacationing in Thailand.

“The 47-year-old threw his right fist into the air after passing the post, rolling his arm over with a turn of the fingers too in a leg-break bowling action out of respect for the 708-wicket Test legend,” the report said.
A report in sen.com.au last month had said that Warne, along with mates, “have a share in the David Vandyke-trained colt”. There were various other personalities, who have a share in the horse, namely, Australian Football League (AFL) players, Sydney’s Jake Lloyd, Port Adelaide’s Trent McKenzie and a syndicate of Fremantle players including Joel Hamling, Luke Ryan, Brennan Cox, Darcy Tucker, Blake Acres, Brandon Matera and Michael Walters.
Various booking and racing experts heaped praise on the jockey for his special gesture. The former Australian Football League player, Campbell Brown also remembered the Australian cricketer while praising coach Vandyke and the jockey.
"Very sentimental win that. Well done (trainer) David (Vandyke) to get the horse back in such good order after last starts incident. Great ride King and Lovely delivery. Hope u enjoyed that SK (Shane Warne).” Brown Tweeted.
As per the report, the Sacred Oath won the contest by a 2.5-length margin. Winning his maiden title, the winner bagged AUD 14, 500 for his effort in an outstanding recovery after falling at a race in Ipswich last month.
