Hughes bags 7 winners at Windsor

Wow. Hats off. 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

However, the only reason I'm blogging this is because the racecourse doctor was unable to say why Ryan Moore was stood down from riding in the last race, on the grounds of "medical confidentiality". This allowed Hughes to pick up the 7th! Apparently it was “Jet Lag”!

"Jet-Lagged" Ryan Moore smirking in that background as King Hughes winds up Dettori for no longer being the only jockey to land 7 on one card.
