DON’T know about you, but I’m heartily sick of the Jockeys’ Championship hogging the headlines on the racing pages.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve absolutely nothing against either Silvestre de Sousa or Jim Crowley, both of whom are fine examples to younger riders, and who would be deserving winners of the title, but thankfully horse racing isn’t just a numbers game, and boiling a day’s racing down to how much the gap between the pair has opened or closed is taking the main participants - the horses - unforgivably out of the equation.
