Hughes and Moore lead race to be Glorious Goodwood's top jockey


The leading jockey over the five-day festival will receive a subscription to Racing UK, a £1,000 donation to the charity of his or her choice and a deluxe Goodwood hamper.
As leading rider from last year’s meeting, Hughes will wear the Racing UK blue and white armband for the opening race on Tuesday, the bet365-sponsored one mile and a quarter handicap.
