2016 Debut Runs Page


Background Information
  • Richard Hughes, 43yo in 2016. Married to Richard Hannon's daughter Lizzie. Son of Irish jockey and trainer Dessie Hughes, who rode Monksfield and trained Hardy Eustace. Hughes senior died in November 2014 and his stable's licence was take over by Sandra Hughes, Richard's sister.
  • Retired from being a jockey at the end of the Goodwood August Festival meeting in 2015, having originally planned to complete the season. He said at that point that the preparations for starting a training career in England were proving to be, unsurprisingly, all time consuming and he could not split the roles. He had been Champion Jockey in 2012-14, late in his career and at a time when the Richard Hannon stable (both senior & junior) had an increasing number of horses in training and he had first call on the best mounts.
  • Training from Weathercock House in Lambourn which he is renting from former trainer Ken Cunningham-Brown. Worked with Mr Brown to develop the, already good, facility to suit his requirements. Had his first winners soon after getting his full licence in later 2015. First turf 2yo runners in 2015.
  • In interview before starting training he said he wanted a more 'back to nature' approach for the horses. Giving examples of horses loosening up unsaddled in outdoor paddocks before working and then eating and sleeping after the work. He also said he would be installing GPS timing, distance covered and heart monitor equipment to track all of the horses. Saying that he wanted 'concrete evidence' to back up the intuitive feel he had for how fit a horse was and how hard they were working. Adding that he wanted to be 'too easy on them' at home rather than 'too hard'. Worth noting that both he and Richard Hannon jnr. have looked to use data sources such as horse's weights, etc. as soon as they were out from the position of having to respect Hannon senior's touch-and-feel approach.
