Aidan O’Brien’s new stable jockey?
Nov 10th
It is one of the hottest tickets in town, but just do not bank on it lasting that long. For all his quiet demeanour, Aidan O’Brien seems to have a habit of losing stable jockeys and is looking for his fourth in six years after Johnny Murtagh handed in his notice. Given that the yard, [...]
Paul Hanagan wins Flat jockey’s championship
Nov 7th
Rarely can a man have been so happy at riding a loser. When Paul Hanagan won the opening race of the Flat season at Doncaster in March few rated his chances of staying there once the major battalions got into top gear. But he stayed there defying all-comers and started the final day back on [...]
Jockeys’ title race goes all the way
Nov 6th
Paul Hanagan and Richard Hughes begin the final day of the Flat turf season still separated by just two winners. Hanagan had stretched his lead to four after riding a double at Southwell’s afternoon fixture and then Hughes and Hanagan swapped winners during the evening card under the floodlights at Wolverhampton that left Hanagan on [...]
Hanagan can get off to a flyer at Southwell
Nov 5th
If Paul Hanagan goes on to win the jockey’s championship, he may well look back at his ride aboard Iron Condor in the final race at Kempton last night as the decisive moment. Just as Richard Hughes had clawed his way back to just one behind, the momentum gained from the recent quick fire double [...]
Paul Hanagan leads Richard Hughes in jockeys’ championship
Nov 4th
Floodlit racing at Kempton Park may never have taken off quite as much as had been hoped but nights like this will help the cause. Paul Hanagan left track the same way that he had arrived at Lingfield Park some nine hours before, with a two-winner lead over Richard Hughes in what has become an [...]
Richard Hughes cuts Paul Hanagan to two in jockeys’ title race
Nov 3rd
This year’s Flat jockeys’ championship now promises to go right to the wire although what has happened in the past 24 hours suggests that nothing can be taken for granted. The confusion over whether Richard Hughes would be riding at Doncaster or Churchill Downs was finally decided, the Irishman made further inroads into the lead [...]

Paul Hanagan draws five clear of Richard Hughes
Nov 2nd
For a prize that carries no intrinsic value, Richard Hughes appears ready to put a very high price on this season’s Flat jockeys’ championship. Paul Hanagan finished the day with a lead of five winners over Hughes, after riding a double at Wolverhampton. That would have appeared to clinch the deal for Hanagan, with Hughes [...]
Roderic O’Connor wins Criterium International
Oct 31st
Frankel’s position as the leading two-year-old in Europe when Roderic O’Connor won the Group One Criterium International at Saint-Cloud. Aidan O’Brien’s colt had been beaten two-and-a-quarter lengths by Frankel when he finished second in the Dewhurst Stakes two weeks ago and he franked that form if in a somewhat wayward fashion. To read the full [...]
Klammer wins Horris Hill Stakes
Oct 23rd
Frankel may not have impressed the official handicapper when he won the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket last week, but Klammer did his bit to push the argument. Klammer had been beaten 10 lengths by Frankel, in the Group Two Royal Lodge Stakes at Ascot last month, and he franked the form with a narrow victory [...]
