6 armchair rides, lost one he thought he had in the bag, pretty easy on the others as usual, a champion jockey by numbers only for me.

SHAMT - " a champion jockey by numbers only for me" - I think that is exactly how they award the accolade?

put it this way most jockeys in the top 50 would win on 95% of Hughes' rides, it's all about getting on the best horses.

When Hughsie first burst on the scene many years ago he was a one dimensional jockey in the Jamie Spencer
mode and drove me mad. 5 useless rides out the back in a slow run race and then one winning one off a strong pace which everyone would wa&^ over. However, these last few years he has truly become the complete Jockey. He is the master of understanding pace and track bias. He also exudes confidence into his mounts which I have only ever seen before when Fallon was at his peak. I think he is in a different class to his current contemparies. |

If jocks were handicapped he would have to give 3-5lb to every jock in europe.
Only Buick come anywhere close. |

Ryan Moore & William Buick both far better than Hughes. He's just lucky he rides for his father in laws winner factory!
