    If you wanted that title, you’d get on your bike and hit a few more tracks and ride for a lot more trainers.

    :scratch: Hughes has had more rides than anyone this season. The weather hasn’t helped whilst Johnson has been out also.

    I’d love to see Sean Bowen go close 1 year

    Me too. Underrated jockey in my opinion.

    Now that the jumps season is effectively over does this mean that Brian Hughes is Champion Jockey? Or is the Championship null and void?

    He should be crowned Champion Jockey IMO but hardly the way he would have wanted it to be. Unfortunately no prize to pick up at Sandown though. I presume Bookies will pay out on this although there may be something in the small print :unsure:

    What’s so complicated ?

    Brian Hughes is champion as he’s ridden most winners up to the cancellations.

    If racing had been ended due to an outbreak of foot & mouth, equine flu or 6 weeks of ice and snow there’d be no questions asked.

    According to the PJA.co.uk page it says:

    The Jump Jockeys Championship is decided on ridden winners in National Hunt races from 4 May 2019 to 25 April 2020

    That’s why we have to wait until the 20th of April until the winning trophy can be presented to either Hughes or Johnson.
