Loughnane led on the George Boughey-trained Invited heading into the home straight and found enough to hold off a late challenge from Hitched.<\/p>\n
His 222 winners have come from 1,320 races in 2025 and it was also a 100th winner of the year for Boughey.<\/p>\n
“There was a little bit of pressure today but I’m delighted to get it done and it means a lot for George,” Loughnane said.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t be where I am without George, he’s been everything since I started and supported me the whole way up. I’m delighted to get his 100th winner as well.”<\/p>\n
Ireland-born Billy and his younger brother Jack learned to ride at their flat trainer father Mark Loughnane’s yard at Rock, near Kidderminster.<\/p>\n
Wolverhampton has been the teenage star’s lucky ‘local’ course and is where he rode his first winner in November 2022.<\/p>\n
During his stellar year, he secured the Annual Flat Jockey Championship title, which is based on the total number of wins across a calendar year from 1 January to 31 December.<\/p>\n
That is a separate award to the British Flat Jockeys’ Championship, which was decided by the total number of wins between 3 May and 18 October and was this year won by Oisin Murphy – ahead of runner-up Loughnane.<\/p>\n
The outright record for the number of winners in a British flat racing season remains the 269 achieved by Sir Gordon Richards in 1947.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
