Three and easy for ton-up Hanagan at Leicester

Paul Hanagan shot past the 100-winner mark for the calendar year with a treble at Leicester yesterday.

The dual champion jockey was pleased to reach the landmark after enjoying his best season in terms of prize-money thanks to big victories on Taghrooda in the Oaks and King George, and Mukhadram in the Coral-Eclipse for his boss, Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.

And it was for the latter that he took his tally to 101 when completing his threesome on Rewaaya in the inaugural running of the Sir Gordon Richards Handicap at the East Midlands track.
