The Champion will be decided on the number of winners ridden in both Flat and All-Weather races between those two dates. Billy Loughnane was born in Ireland in March 2006 and is the son of Daniel Mark Loughnane, a UK-based Irish trainer. Billy rode out his claim on 8 September 2023, taking less than 11 months to notch the required 95 wins. 2024 – Loughnane achieved his first victories at Royal Ascot at the 2024 meeting, landing successes on Rashabar and Soprano. Newmarket has been a less kind track to Loughnane overall, and his record with favourites is actually extremely poor.
