What the Nation is saying about Jockey Richard Hughes...

Toronado breezes to Craven victory‏

A two year old who excelled and improved in each of his three starts as a juvenile, Richard Hannon's Toronado staked his claim for Classic glory on Thursday with an un-urged, wire-to-wire victory in the Group 3 Craven Stakes at Newmarket.Read More

On The Gallop's · His Craven win was done with such ease in a great time, we could "Maybe" be looking at another Frankel. Toronado vs Dawn approach is gonna be the best 3 year old race going a mile anywhere in the world. · 35 days ago ·

Richard Hughes

The 39 yr.old jockey equaled Frankie Dettori's record of riding 7 winners at Royal-Ascot in 1996 by riding 7 winners on the 8-race card at Windsor today. Hughes actually came very near besting Dettori's record, as his mount in the 8th race at Windsor finished 3rd. Quite an achievement to ride that many winners in the same day.

ILuvTurfRacing · John Gosden could really come loaded for bear for this year's BC F&M Turf is he so chooses? He's got his star older filly, Izzi Top, who until the G1 Nassau Stakes hadn't been beaten in 4 straight stakes races that has the automatic "win and your in" slot for her win in the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes in Ireland, and now he's got arguably one of the best 3yr.old fillies in Europe in The Fugue with an automatic "win and your in" slot for her victory in the G1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood. Those 2 could make for quite a formidable F&M Turf pair for John Gosden should he choose to bring both stateside to Santa Anita in November, IMO. · 292 days ago ·

Cracker Jack Field to Face Frankel in Queen Elizabeth II

Undefeated superstar Frankel makes his long-awaited return to the races this Saturday in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes...Read More

Show All 7 Comments
medlocke · There's some very talented turf milers lining up for this year's G1 Q.E.II Stakes at Royal-Ascot on Saturday. Some of which we may see at Churchill Downs next month in the BC Mile. I.E., Immortal Verse and Excelebration. But for as good as these horses are. Frankel is just a freak of nature!! Or at least he's proven himself to be at a mile, anyway. Personally, I think the rest of the field are all running for second place money. I really don't expect to ever see Frankel really and truly tested until Sir Henry Cecil stretches him out to middle distances, 10f and beyond, next season. And with that Galileo pedigree, he may not even be tested then? JMO. · 589 days ago ·

medlocke · I think the Q.E.II Stakes field is going to be, by far, the toughest that Frankel has faced at a mile so far this season. Excelebration is a much better horse now than the one that Frankel defeated in the Greenham Stakes and the St James's Palace Stakes earlier in the year. Plus the dynamite French filly, Immortal Verse, who defeated Goldikova in the G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois with a good bit in hand, and she's also won the G1 Coronation Stakes at Ascot back in June. When he's at his best, Dick Turpin has also run very well at Ascot in the past, too. Now all of that said, if Frankel is at his best, he still doesn't get beaten by anyone in this field either.

'Clash of the Titans' Set for Glorious Goodwood

Superstar milers Frankel and Canford Cliffs are set to clash in the Sussex Stakes on Wednesday.Read More

medlocke · This truly is a clash of 2 titans of the sport right now!! I agree with you Brian Zipse, I'm also picking Canford Cliffs. But him having to give away 8 or 9lbs. to Frankel is a serious concern. But, IMO, I think with only 4 horses in the field, this race becomes as much about tactics as it does speed. That's where Canford Cliffs will have the advantage, IMO. The pressure's more on Tom Queally riding Frankel to keep his unbeaten record in tact than it is on Richard Hughes and Canford Cliffs. Because Canford Cliffs has already been beaten in his career. Although, he has a 5 straight G1 winning streak on the line himself. Frankel's a beast. But so is the horse that's going to be running at him. I say Canford Cliffs beats Frankel in the Sussex Stakes by a head. TJMO. · 668 days ago ·

mary.schweitzer · No doubt this will be a tactical race. I'm going with Frankel in this one; I think he's the only one who can either go with it on the front end, or lay off the pace. He'll be up front and be allowed to dictate things...with Canford Cliffs right off of him. Definitely will be a close one. :) · 668 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · I love both colts but really like the way Frankel explodes away from his fields. If they don't try to rate him again I think he could win this with the big weight break. The distance favors Canford Cliffs and beating Goldikova is one of the toughest things to do in racing, that deserves a ton of respect. · 668 days ago ·

medlocke · @BrittanyHamilton, You'll be able to see the G1 Sussex Stakes live on HRTV at 10:10 A.M. east coast time. Frankel at 8-11, Canford Cliffs at 11-8. Give me the 11-8 on Canford Cliffs all day long. Don't get me wrong, I think Frankel one of the best 3yr.old's that's come along in a long time, and he's got freakish ability. That said, Frankel's unbeaten record is all placated on having beaten other 3yr.old's that were clearly inferior to him. He's never faced older horses, and he's going right straight to the top of the list among older horses taking on Canford Cliffs. Frankel's never faced another horse with anywhere near the kind of speed and tactical ability that Canford Cliffs has. It's no accident that Canford Cliffs beat Goldikova pretty easily at Ascot in the Queen Anne Stakes, and it's also no accident that he's reeled off 5 straight major G1 win's at a mile on turf. Going back to the 2010 season, Canford Cliffs has won the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas, the G1 St James's Palace Stakes, the G1 Sussex Stakes, the G1 Lockinge Stakes, and the G1 Queen Anne Stakes in succession. He's faced some really tough milers in those 5 races, too. Canford Cliffs will beat Frankel in this year's Sussex Stakes, IMO. · 668 days ago ·

medlocke · I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that we witnessed a changing of the guard at Royal-Ascot at the end of this year's Queen Anne Stakes? But I would go so far as to say that Goldikova has finally met in Canford Cliffs a turf miler who's turn of foot is every bit equal, if not quicker than Goldikova's. It's no accident that Canford Cliffs has now won 5 straight major G1's over a mile on the turf in Europe. All last season, Canford Cliffs trainer, Richard Hannon, kept running Paco Boy and Dick Turpin at Goldikova, and she always proved to be a half length to a length better than both every time. That's just no longer the case with her facing Canford Cliffs, IMO. Canford Cliffs is a very legitimate threat to dethroning Goldikova in her bid to win a 4th B.C. Mile. TJMO. · 707 days ago ·
