Ben Looker will make a rare visit to Brisbane to ride Allknight Saint for Brad Herne and the trainer hopes he can entice the jockey from his NSW Northern Rivers base more often.Looker, who spent some time in Brisbane as an apprentice with Lawrie Mayfield-Smith, rides the Herne-trained gelding in Saturdays Listed Recognition Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm.One of the leading riders in northern NSW, Looker rode 80 winners last season and has had success with Herne recently when he has taken horses south.I have been trying to get Ben to come back to Brisbane for 12 months. He has a lot of talent and I think riding here against the Jeff Lloyds, Jim Byrnes and Robbie Fradds would bring out the best in him, Herne said.He can ride at 54 kilograms which is also a big plus. I had no hesitation in booking him for Allknight Saint when Jeff (Lloyd) went with Mr Epic.Allknight Saint has shown a distinct liking for the new Eagle Farm track surface with his two runs on it resulting in a win and an unlucky fourth.At his last start he became the first horse to run under 1.23 for the 1400 metres at Eagle Farm. A few people pointed out that was faster than they ran in the Stradbroke Handicap, Herne said.But it was a good run and he seems to be getting better with age. He can sit up on the pace from where he is drawn (8) and you know he will fight on in the straight.Herne is keen to press on into the summer with Allknight Saint who has won up to 1650m.A race like the Bernborough Stakes over 1600 metres on New Years Eve will suit him very well, Herne said.I know he is seven years old but he has never raced better.Allknight Saint is a $15 chance with Group Three winner Cylinder Beach the $5 favourite for his first start since he was unplaced in the Queensland Derby in June.

General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent.Roy Hodgson does not believe Jamie Vardy dived at the weekend and has sympathy for the striker following his angry outburst that could see him miss yet more of Leicesters title run-in. Vardy was shown a second yellow card after going to ground under pressure from Angelo Ogbonna during Sundays 2-2 draw with West Ham, with referee John Moss judging he tumbled too easily, prompting a furious reaction from the England striker that has left him with an FA improper conduct charge.The 29-year-old has until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge, which could extend the existing one-match ban that currently rules him out of the home clash with Swansea on Sunday, live on Sky Sports. Vardy (L) reacts angrily after referee Jonathan Moss shows him his second yellow card But Hodgson insists he has no problem with Vardys attitude, saying: You take everything that the player brings with him. You take Wayne Rooney - he, in my recollection, was pretty hot-headed, often getting himself into scrapes on the field, but you take what the player brings. Vardy got sent off at the weekend, but once again I will go out on a limb: I dont see that. I dont see that as a dive. I just dont. I think he was unbalanced. I dont think it was a penalty either, I think he was unbalanced, running at that speed.I think there was a very slight sort of contact with the defender, who was trying to cover. I think he went down, he lost his balance. I dont think he was trying to dive. Vardy tangled with Ogbonna But of course all the pundits I hear they say, He dived, look how he dived.dddddddddddd I dont see it. I really dont, Im sorry. I wouldnt blame him for that. I sympathise with him, I think he was very, very unlucky.When you get sent off for something where he obviously feels like I feel - there is no doubt he is of that opinion. Roy Hodgson has no worries about Vardys discipline But now he has had to swallow the fact that he has been made to leave the field and then, unfortunately, he has reacted like sometimes human beings react.He hasnt just said to the ref, Thanks very much, I understand. He has called him a few names, but he is a human being and that can happen. The Leicester striker had earlier put his side 1-0 up But I think our disciplinary record over the last few years has been pretty good. I think it will remain good, but I cant guarantee you that a Vardy, a Rooney, or a Dele Alli, or anyone else for that matter, is not going to do that.
