Paul Hanagan rides Snow Fairy in Champion Stakes
Oct 13th
When Richard Hughes left Wolverhampton after a Saturday night he would rather forget – a seven-day ban and only one winner – he was already counting the cost. It was primarily to his chances of overhauling Paul Hanagan in their battle for this season’s Flat turf jockeys’ title but now a domino-effect of decisions has [...]
William Buick happy with Dream Ahead
Oct 12th
At an age when most jockeys are still dreaming of the glittering prizes, William Buick can survey the reality of a season in which he has gathered such trophies with the acquisitive nature of a magpie.

Dream Ahead for Dewhurst Stakes
Oct 9th
The Dubai Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket was already looking to be one of the races of the season but it may now be a vintage renewal.

Newmarket may be the widest racecourse in Europe but, with 35 runners, there was still not much room for manoeuvre in the totesport.com Cambridgeshire.

Fury wins Tattersalls Millions 2YO Trophy
Oct 2nd
The saying is that money cannot buy happiness; it just makes misery far more bearable.

There can be cases made for all three of Gosden’s runners – High Twelve, Taqleed and Nationalism – but it [...]
