Huge congratulations to Brian Hughes who becomes Champion Jockey for the first time🏆
He won a total of 141 races in the 2019/20 season - outstanding form.
Happy Retirement to a legend. Without doubt one of the best & toughest horses I’ve ever rode. Made of steal with the heart of a lion. Thank you to the Tizzard’s for keeping him at the top for so long. Also Garth & Ann Broome’s for letting me be part of his amazing career 🏆🐎
Thank you for all the kind messages today. As a family we had a fantastic day receiving my OBE from HM the Queen. A day we will never forget

Very sad news that Milton Bradley has passed away. Someone that gave me a chance at the start of my career. Him and his wife Ruth were both stars of the racing world. Top trainer and a gentleman. Thoughts are with his family RIP
