Ah well, can't complain, it went to a Northern Jockey, but I'd still have preferred to see Hughes win it as to me hie deserved it more for the performance of his career.

There's been a new columnist in the Weekender the last couple of months & until this week it had gone by completely 'ignored' - this week, a sub-heading caught my eye:

'HANAGAN DESERVES TITLE'

He made a good point in that if Hughes wanted the title he should go for it from March & not just as an after-thought after having a good summer - I'm inclined to agree.
