Good on Richard for opening up - you get a real sense of his character from this interview which is rare in racing coverage. He comes over as tightly-wound and stressed and it really reminds one just how difficult a trainer's life is. Hope it all carries on going well for the yard.
classic winning trainer in waiting with magnificent facilities and top jockey on retainer. ive made a polite request to richard about whether he'd consider starting a racing club / mini syndicate a la Harry Derham's £99 model for Nordic Tiger (which has been magnificent this season)...being a generous man let's hope richard thinks it could work for his stable too :) for all his followers who cant spare £50k to get involved in ownership or partnership but can see an Nvidia style growth coming around the corner in the form of big race wins!
Thanks for sharing this Lizzie…..took me back 25 years listening to Richard….he sounds the same. I watched this whole video with a big grin on my face thinking of Rozzer 🥰
@8:35 - This geezer rode with Pat Eddery/Lester Piggott who've most probably had magic in their hands when it came to Thoroughbreds, easily 1 and 2 in Horsemanship of any Era.. Hughes Must have da memory of a Goldfish...
One thing Richard wouldn’t do is work for the bookies only jockey I have ever known to tell you anything that he really fancied a horse and it won’t get beat
All the best Richie I am sure the champions will come

He can definitely train. Started the season in excellent form.
Who Says You Can't Go From Jockey To Trainer!! Mr. Hughes Is Proving That It Can Be Done!!😊
