Treble top for Fahey and Hanagan

Richard Fahey’s terrific run continued when he completed a 503-1 treble with Jeannie Galloway, Faithful Ruler and She’s In The Money – all three ridden by stable jockey Paul Hanagan – on the first afternoon of Ayr’s three-day Western meeting.

There was a poignant start to proceedings when the jockeys assembled in the parade ring before the first race, with a lone piper played Amazing Grace in memory of apprentices Jamie Kyne and Jan Wilson, who were tragically killed in a fire at Malton.
