PAUL HANAGAN ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT ON ITV RACING

All the very best to Paul Hanagan. I looked hard at all of his rides during his glory years. I hope he finds a good job in racing.

A potential "jockeys race" on Friday?

True Slippy. they won't be ganging up to stop him winning that's for sure.

stop and winning, two interesting words to include here, about this one

We all retire ffs

I thought he'd already retired TBH

Never quite the same after his bad accident. I wish him well.

Probably the nicest guy in Racing good luck Paul.

So on Sunday it will "NOT be that man again Hanagan"
What a cracking line the comms used to say when he had a winner. Cracking

Some people just walk away quietly after about 50 years ffs…..hard graft…..

Wishing  him all the best

wootton 'sun last ride in the 1.50 already smashed in from 13/2 to 9/2

Lad done well bearing in mind no racing background and didn't start until well into his teens ... not the best by a long way but champion jockey twice ... a classic winner; Eclipse; King George & other group 1s so not a bad cv which plenty of others would like to have had by the end of their career ... good luck on his next position

He thanked the punter,respect…

Obviously not u then

Certainly not you ball head

Thank you

Surely can't be a jockeys race for 120K If memory isn't playing up at this godly hour, Pat Eddery final ride was at Doncaster in a class 5, think it were last or second last in a 20 runner handicap, could be wrong though.

This will not be a jockey's race. Too many jockeys. Too many pounds. It may well be this is Fahey's best chance of the meeting.

People remember jockeys who go out on a winner but they are the ones who wait till they have a winner before announcing their retirement.

Agree Ramruma, can't think of one top jockey who went out on a win before the race I'm a massive Henry fan so always glad when you post, just like ladycarla, jurys out, think that poster is a big Henry fan too.

always come across as a humble and modest man, despite his achievements. Best wishes to him

Best wishes Paul, a decent hard working jockey in his prime, don't think his move to Godolphin did him any favours really, good luck on your last ride.

ARE WE ALL LUMPING ON HIS LAST RIDE IN THE 1.50?

those offers were removed from my account a looong time ago

3rd to last...what a way to bow out

wasnt off a yard

I always felt Paul was a very good "Job" jockey about 15/20 years ago, and it just came to my mind that he rode the 1st horse that i put up on here as a fancy in 2006 named Schinken Otto for Jefferson, was 50/1 in the morning when i posted it and there was a gamble on the horse into 100/9 unfortunately it came 4th, happy memories though, gl Paul, a nice fella imo.

Hilarious the way everyone was wishing him the best and the betting and ultimately the run said next time please.

Don't think the market told us anything MJK , punters latched onto a final ride a couple of days ago and all the market did was correct itself when the proper market unfolded.

Paul joined the Racing TV gravy train. at Redcar today.
