HILLS HAILS RETIRING BROTHER

Quote:
Charlie Hills has had no thoughts as yet about a new stable jockey after his brother Michael announced he will retire at the end of the current campaign.
The 49-year-old has ridden over 2,000 winners and signs off just months after his twin brother Richard decided the time was right to call it quits.
Hills won the 1996 Derby on the William Haggas-trained Shaamit and was champion apprentice in 1983. Among the best horses he rode were Royal Applause, trained by his father Barry, and Pentire, who won the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Irish Champion Stakes.
