Teenage riding sensation Billy Loughnane is to have his first ride in a Classic this weekend - just seven months after his jockey debut.
The 17-year-old, nicknamed ‘Billy The Kid’, passed the latest milestone in a prolific start to his career when he rode out his 5lb claim at Musselburgh on Sunday when he partnered his 50th winner.
He is set to achieve another landmark next Sunday after being booked to ride Sweet Harmony in the Qipco 1,000 Guineas.
