RICHARD HUGHES RODE an incredible 10,168/1 seven-timer at Windsor racecourse on Monday.
The champion jockey in waiting rode Mama Quilla in the 5.40 to grab his seventh winner of the eight card meeting.
Richard Hannon’s stable jockey and son-in-law rode the first five winners of the day, with 13/8 joint-favorite Pivotal Movement giving Hughes and his boss Hannon their first winner of the day.
Those were quickly followed up East Texas Red in the 2:30 (5/2F), Embankment in the 3:05 (7/1), the 3:35 with Magic Secret and the 4:10 with 5/2 favourite Links Drive Lady for trainer Dean Ivory.
Hughes came unstuck in the 4.40, with his mount Ever Fortune going off 2/1 favourite, but only managing a third place finish.
The Irish jockey was soon back in the winners enclosure, with a super ride on Duke Of Clarence in the 5.10 to notch up his sixth winner on the card.
“He was probably my best ride of the day because he loves that ground. This is a great day,” Hughes said afterwards.
As Frankie Dettori did at Ascot in 1996, Hughes rode his seventh winner of the day in the last aboard Mama Quilla, who saw a flood of money come for her to be sent off 15/8 favourite. Hughes did not disappoint punters, getting up a length and a half for a 10,168/1 accumulator on the day.
Hughes and Dettori are now the only two jockeys in British flat racing history to ride seven winners on a race card.
The car crash being man utds season amiright?
Hopefully Bruno will be fit, his work rate, ability to track runners and his ability to whine moan and fall over will be good news for Liverpool though that said his creativity could be a problem for Liverpools high line if Utd had willing runners
I will roar with delight if Liverpool win tomorrow
Hopefully they will crash by 3 or 4 goals tomorrow Brian my old son
@O’Brien Michael: pool be raging hot favourites anyway. Cant remember one of these sides being such hot favourites going into this fixture. But ue know what, even if utd lose 6 0 the world will keep spinning and we’ll get back on the horse. And who knows, maybe they’ll pull a huge performance out. Unlikely but that’s the beauty of football.
@Brian Dunne: They have nothing to lose tomorrow as Liverpool are raging hot favourites and that’s what makes United so dangerous Brian.
@O’Brien Michael: what ever you need to tell yourself I suppose
@O’Brien Michael: Top 4 to loose, surely they can’t expect too many more pardons from Arsenal and Spurs.
