Ryan Mania was ‘shocked’ and ‘emotional’ on Tuesday after completing an extraordinary nine-race winning streak over Christmas and New Year..
The 34-year-old Grand National winning-jockey's victory on Massini Man in a handicap chase at Musselburgh was his ninth in a row in races in which his mounts completed the course. Of his other mounts over a six-day period, two were pulled up and the other fell at the last when in the lead.
The sequence, which began at Kelso on December 29, included a New Year’s Day treble at Musselburgh and a double at the Ayr the following day. Seven of his wins were for trainer Sandy Thomson.
