This is getting silly! 3 trebles in 26 days for a 16yo jockey. Right up in the Piggott and Cauthen class. I know he is getting some good rides but if they let him ride every day of January he might not have much of his 5lb claim left by then. His ride on Odd Socks Havana was worthy of any of the top names.

He's off to America in a week or so anyway sage , says to protect what's left of claim but also to learn some sectional expertise from the U.S riders.
Reason being he wants to send him out to America to learn from some of the riders over there.
Oh, and to protect his claim which could prove so crucial when the turf season kicks back into gear over here.
Michael told Sky Sports Racing yesterday: "It's going great. Did we envisage it going this well? Probably not!
"I was hoping he'd get ten winners in the winter and then we could kick on into the summer.
"But the way things are going now I'd say we might just stop at the end of January to protect his claim.
"I might send him to America for three weeks, ride trackwork with the Mexicans and he'll come back better.
"That might be the plan. I'm just so grateful things are going well.
"I might have a duffle coat on me in summer (on the cold list) but at the moment it's all up.
"I’m not sure if it is the right thing to do, as it is very hard to stop momentum.
"He is going to a friend of mine in Miami, David Meah. He has 20 horses out there and a lad down the road has 50.
“He is not going out there to ride races, he is just going to learn pace.
"It is different gravy and he will come back better – and that’s what we want. I’m as proud as punch, though."
British racing has been hit by promising young jockeys going to the US for more money.

Needs to come under the wing of Paul Mulrennan then he will be good 
His dad needs to get him into a decent stable for when he returns....
Riding a Frankel for the boys in blue tomorrow shows clearly what a talent he has.
My opening tongue in cheek comment was that he could get close to the end of his 5lb claim BEFORE the end of January when he goes to the states as I mentioned above! He has 12 mounts today and tomorrow for a start. His dad might need to draw stumps after tomorrow to keep a decent number of 5lb claim rides for his return. Will he be tempted to take race rides in the States?
and another one a few days ago. fell over everything in front of him again.
spised godolphin aint signed the lad up..destined for stardom.
Billy Loughnane on BBC News. Fame outside racing. The new Frankie/Holly/Bryony.
He has to go beyond one month of success and transfer his ability to competitive turf handicaps to be considered as a future champion but he is certainly going the right way.
According to radio he has no booked rides next week.
He is off to USA to gain experience not riding in races though just riding work

Exciting times for him and wish him well in America.
Hope he doesn't read this forum as there'll be a thread criticising his ride in the non too distant future , that you can be sure of.
You're only as good as your last ride on this forum
Best of luck Billy
