Quote:
Richard Hughes vowed to go "flat out" for the jockeys' championship after he rattled off a 251.5-1 four-timer at Bath.
Although he trailed home last of seven runners aboard outsider Lady Calantha in the opening contest, Hughes collected the next four races to cut the deficit with Ryan Moore to just three winners.
The rider won on Waspy (11-8 favourite), Dynastic (7-2), Griffin Point (13-8 favourite) and Cockney Fire (8-1), although he also picked up a two-day suspension for his use of the whip on the last of those.
