Richard Hughes: The Derby Winner He Nearly Rode | Dwyer Cabs

Martin Dwyer picks up his old weighing room pal Richard Hughes for a trip down memory lane. Richard finds out he was nearly booked for Sir Percy in the 2006 Derby. He also relives taking on Frankel with Canford Cliffs and Dubawi Gold, the Nunthorpe short head on Sole Power that Martin still hasn’t forgiven, and his years riding for father-in-law Richard Hannon. They also talk about battling the scales, retiring at the top to start training, and that first Group 1 with No Half Measures in the July Cup. Richard explains how a teenage Ryan Moore spurred him on during his toughest years. #horseracing #DwyerCabs #RichardHughes #Frankel Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
