The battle to become the winner of the 2010 British Flat Jockeys Championship is now in its final week as the flat season comes to a close and there are just two contenders in with a chance to win this seasons title. Last year it was won by Ryan Moore for the second year in succession as he rode home 174 winners, 12 down on his winning total for the previous year and a long way off the record of 269 wins set in 1947 by 26 times winner of the event Gordon Richards.
Earlier in the week it looked as if Hanagan (who at the start of the season was at odds of 40/1 to win the title) had the advantage after he rode 2 winners at Wolverhampton at the start of the week but Hughes countered that with 2 wins of his own yesterday at Kempton, Hanagan is currently still leading Hughes by 186 to 183 wins, but there are rumours that Hughes may cancel his plans to the Breeders Cup for Saturday so that he can attempt to claim the 2010 Championship.
