PAUL HANAGAN is to be Hamdan Al Maktoum's first jockey when Richard Hills retires on Dubai World Cup night next month.
Hanagan said: "I followed Sheikh Hamdan's horses when at school and therefore to be appointed his number one jockey is a dream.
"I wouldn't be in this position but for Richard Fahey and it was quite emotional when I went to his home last night to break the news about the job. But I must stress I will still be riding for Richard when available."

Fully deserved after his great loyal service to Richard Fahey.

MAHMOOD AL ZAROONI added the UAE Oaks to his wins in this season's UAE 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas at Meydan, but it was second-string Falls Of Lora who came out on top in an astonishing race.

Its that Godolphin second string or third string again.
