He doesn't fit in with racing's southern bias however he's very much appreciated and respected in the north of England. He's a proper grafter as well.conduirez wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:27 pmOne of the things that always bugs me is Cheltenham is it is supposed to be about the best, but over the years one of our best riders never really gets a look in.
Brian Hughes, forgive me if I am wrong, had only one runner at the festival this year, the guy has over £7 million in earnings, if he turns up for only one race on a northern track, the odds on the horse shifts. Over the years he has been prolific, a great champion Jockey a great rider, but at The Cheltenham Festival his face don't fit.
I just find it unbelievable.

Enjoyed the last two days, better racing than 1st 2 days. I don't really bother with short priced favs and prefer to look at the mid/higher prices so bit of a red for me betting wise across the 4 days but I bet for entertainment and not bothered about value, beating SP or trading.
Certainly performed better than Tony Calvin despite the red
