Tales of the sacrifice and denial of a jockey’s life are for another day. Billy Loughnane is having the time of his life.
The 16-year-old, who takes six mounts at Lingfield Park on Saturday afternoon, currently sits at the top of the jockeys’ standings for 2023 with 14 winners and a strike rate of 23 per cent.
“It’s happened so quickly - I didn’t expect it to take off the way it has,” admits Loughnane. “It’s unbelievable, the way things are going.”
