PADDY IS TOP FLAT JOCKEY AT AYRTHE start of the 2021 Flat season at Ayr today and tomorrow night also marks the beginning of the battle to be top owner, trainer and jockey at the track for the year.

Last season saw the Jolly Beggars, Richard Fahey and Paddy Mathers win the respective titles for 2020.

Two wins and a second place at our final meeting of the season last year clinched the jockeys’ title for Paddy who pipped Kevin Stott by a point.
