Brain Hughes was having his first ride for me.. Top Northern jockey and you can see why.
Brian and Red Spinner got on well.. Jumping well out in front I really though we would hang on and win so it was bloody annoying to be mugged on the line.. Summed up our week..

Funny world we live in.. Last night I was in the bath and my mobile rang down in the kitchen while Clare was talking on the home phone to her brother. Picking it up the caller said it was hugely important that he spoke to Kim, it was Paul Nicholls's assistant.
Expecting bad news Clare rushed upstairs and handed me the phone.
Paul Nicholls assistant my ass, it was some drunk punter who had lost money on Red Spinner and was accusing me of stopping him! A tirade of abuse followed..

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday.
