New photo Silvestre De Sousa confirmed to ride Withhold in the Melbourne Cup

CHAMPION jockey Silvestre De Sousa will ride the favourite Withhold in the Melbourne Cup.

The Brazilian guided the Roger Charlton-trained gelding to a runaway success in last year’s Cesarewitch.

He was ridden by owner Tony Bloom’s retained jockey Robert Winston to win the Northumberland Plate on his last outing in June.

However, if Withhold gets into the Melbourne Cup he will carry 8st 5lb, a weight beyond Winston but in reach for De Sousa.

De Sousa’s agent Shelley Dwyer said: “It’s very exciting. Hopefully as long as everything goes OK and he gets in the race. Reports are good, so hopefully.

“I’m not sure what the plans are. The horses got held up flying over.

“Obviously because he rode him in the Cesarewitch and he was going to have a lower weight that Robert Winston couldn’t do, Silvestre was offered the ride.”

Withhold is as short as 8-1 favourite for the Melbourne Cup, dubbed the ‘race that stops a nation’.

He will need several horses above him in the weights to drop out in order to get a run in the two-mile Group 1, which will be held at Flemington racecourse on 6 November.

Joseph O’Brien’s Rekindling won the race last season, beating Aidan O’Brien’s Johannes Vermeer into second.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
