Richard Hughes capped a truly glorious five days by landing a double on Pausanias and Eucharist to finish the Goodwood meeting with a record-breaking total of nine winners - all of them trained by Richard Hannon.
He scooped the Racing UK-sponsored leading rider award after Eucharist won the nursery to give him number nine, beating the previous best of eight shared by Lester Piggott, Kieren Fallon and Johnny Murtagh.
Hannon, who is Hughes's father-in-law, himself smashed the six-winner training record achieved at the meeting in 1989 by Sir Michael Stoute.
