    Richard Hughes put it well last night when he said Ryan’s not even warmed up yet – plenty more winners to come for him.

    Agree, but there’s a saying in football that you’d rather have the points in the bag than have the games in hand. I’m sure Hanagan is more than happy to get the wins under his belt whilst Ryan ‘bides’ his time.

    And what’s to say there aren’t plenty of winners to come from Hanagan himself?

    Does Ryan really want the title? I’m certain Hanagan will be going absolutely flat out for it. Not sure I can say the same about Ryan. Could be wrong though.

    Paul Hanagan, jockey of the north, lot of time for him! Comes across as a nice guy to boot, he has another strong book of rides, day and night, no one can fault the mans determination and commitment to the cause!

    Yeah I’ve gotta feeling he’s gonna build a huge lead which will be difficult to get back.

    Top notcher, one of the few in the game who seems to want to win all of the time. Sadly from a punting point of view I think this was the week he went mainstream, amazing it took so long really.

    Top man once again tonight.

    Seriously

    Best Jockey in England by far in terms of improvement as i said when i posted this thread.

    Ryan Moore and Hanaghan are well clear of the rest.

    I like Hughsie too it must be said

    is this the same hanagan thats yet to ride in a classic, let alone win one?

    And the same ryan moore that before this season didn’t ride a classic winner?

    i forget the name of the horse he thought would beat conduit in the ledger…………..

    jockeys these days aren’t as good as back when cauthen/piggott/swinburn/carson/eddery/

    granted carson started late, but the rest were top class before they were 18

    I’m really pleased to see Hanagan doing so weel, at least he has some charm and charisma which Ryan Moore will never have.

    Ryan Moore has something much more engaging than ten-a-penny charm.

    He is spare in speech but astute in judgement, interesting and insightful whenever he does see fit to open his mouth, impossible not to be drawn to in the saddle – just like Fallon or Piggott before him.

    I don’t know whether he has anything you might call "charisma", but he certainly has the enigmatic star quality of a Garbo or Setsuko Hara, which is much, much rarer.

    The Boy Hanaghan another winner today.

    He had a double actually mate at Catterick, 13 ahead I think, best priced EVS to win the championship.

    It’s a good lead but not a great lead.

    Hanagan has just booted home the first winner at York, this being his 13th winner since last Friday and his 21st winner in the last 12 days.

    I’ve never known anyone rattle up so many winners in such a short space of time, not in recent years anyway. Incredible.

    I can’t remember backing any of his winners, but that’s besides the point :D
