A jockey has paid tribute to Shane Warne after riding the late cricket icon's part-owned horse, Sacred Oath, to its maiden win.
Sacred Oath broke through in dominant fashion on the Gold Coast, winning the 1200m race in its third start, and its first since a fall in Ipswich last month.
As the horse crossed the finish line, jockey Noel Callow paid tribute to Warne, rolling his right arm over in a leg-spinning motion to celebrate the historic triumph.

"Great ride king and lovely delivery. Hope [you] enjoyed that SK."
"Sacred Oath, part-owned by the late Shane Warne, wins on the Gold Coast," racing reporter, Tim Yeatman, tweeted.
"Hope the king enjoyed that one upstairs".
