Hamilton four-timer for Hanagan

British champion jockey Paul Hanagan claimed the plaudits on his first visit to Hamilton this season with a 159-1 four-timer, highlighted by victory in the feature Glasgow Stakes on Sparkling Portrait.

Fresh from partnering his first British Group One winner on Mayson in last weekend’s July Cup, Hanagan yet again teamed up with his former boss Richard Fahey to great effect as the Malton handler provided three of the four winners.

Hanagansaid: “It’s great to be back,” he said. It’s a place I’ve always clicked with over the years – although I’ve had a bit of stick off the lads in the weighing room, they were calling me a southern softie!”
