• Turner top jockey again - first to do so in consecutive years• ‘It’s a massive thrill, this event means so much to me’Some jockeys are just made for a particular raceday. Lester Piggott had a pretty good thing going with Derby day but close behind that pairing on any list must come the blissful union of Hayley Turner and the Shergar Cup.
The mounts for this unusual day’s racing are distributed according to a formula that should ensure a level playing field for the dozen jockeys taking part, some of whom came from Australia and
Japan this time. But once again Turner dominated, winning two of the six races and carrying off the Silver Saddle for top jockey, becoming the first to do so in consecutive years.
