Re: Horse Racing
Hughes keeps faith in Toronado

Quote:
Jockey Richard Hughes said Toronado "coughed a lot" following his disappointing fourth in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday.
Richard Hannon's three-year-old went into his Classic assignment unbeaten in four starts and off the back of a hugely impressive display in the Craven Stakes over the course and distance.
However, he was unable to put it up to Dawn Approach, who streaked clear for an emphatic victory.
The champion jockey believes there may have been an excuse for that reverse, though, and is confident Toronado will show his true colours this summer.
