    What a Sickener for Horseracing! Hughsie going through an 8 race card would have been Historic.I’m gutted myself,glad it wasn’t the 8th race he got beat on mind……Conspiracy theorists and that! Still a truly remarkable feat all the same!

    Yer, disgracefull :P

    I mean just not good enough winning 7 races out of 8.

    Varying reports from the bookmaking world after Richard Hughes’s seven-timer. Ladbrokes state one punter won £159,430 on Hughes while William Hill believe they lost not much more than £100,000 compared to £7m on Dettori.

    Richard Hughes becomes only the second rider in history to ride seven winners in a day on one card in Britain, the other being Frankie Dettori when he notched his ‘magnificent seven’ at Ascot in 1996.

    Richard Hughes picked up where he left off in race five, wearing down Sheila’s Buddy on the Richard Hannon-trained Duke Of Clarence to notch his sixth win on the card. Can he make it seven from eight in the finale?

    Mike, what really lets you down is that your punctuation is too good!

    Great feat, well done Hughes.

    Mind you, statistically speaking, it was bound to happen to someone sooner or later.

    Hope you don’t mind the edit Cormack, but I feel sure you meant to append a guffawing smiley to that witticism/truism. Nice one

    Statistics Revisited

    Eighty percent of all people consider themselves to be above average.

    Statistically speaking, in China, even if you are a one in a million kind of guy, there are a thousand more just like you.

    Did you know that 87.166253% of all statistics claim a precision of results that is not justified by the method employed?

    One out of every four people is suffering from some form of mental illness.
    Check three friends. If they’re OK, then it’s you.

    It is proven that the celebration of birthdays is healthy. Statistics show that those people who celebrate the most birthdays become the oldest.

    Here are the results of our drug testing study on rabbits: 1/3 of the sample died; 1/3 of the sample survived; the other one ran away.

    With one foot in a bucket of ice water, and one foot in a bucket of boiling water, you are, on the average, comfortable.

    He’s right though, statistically speaking anything that is not impossible is bound to happen sooner or later.

    Yes but the probability of it happening, 8 race card, a ride in every race so no amateur or apprentice races, is considerably less than the cumulative odds of the winners implies. As a purely random occurrence you’d be deeply disappointed with the return.

    Murphys law says it is statistically possible but not statistically determined to happen.In fact the statistics cannot be trusted due to human error.
    Did you know that Murphy’s law was not discovered by Murphy but by another man of the same name?

    You can pretty much write off any Classic contender as off two o’clock tomorrow, might even have a 1000 Guineas winner on show as well.

    In your dreams, appropriately.
