Paul Hanagan has also drifted to 3/1, from 5/2, for the 2012 Flat Jockeys Title and is jt fav with Ryan Moore while Richard Hughes is 4/1
BetVictor Spokesperson Charlie McCann: ” It looked a wide open contest for the flat jockeys’ title in 2012 before the news that Hanagan would replace Richard Hills as first jockey to Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum after Dubai World Cup night next month. Ryan Moore is our 3/1 jt fav but who, if anyone, will be first jockey at Ballydoyle in 2012? It promises to be a fascinating contest and might come down to who wants it the most.”
