Richard Hughes' tears at Newmarket show there really is hope for all in racing this season
They're taking on the big boys - and winning MATT CHAPMAN Richard Hughes' tears at Newmarket show there really is hope for all in racing this season Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOPE. That's what we all need. And for those battling the superpowers in the world of horse racing hope is everything. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Richard Hughes couldn't hide his emotion when talking to me after making history in the July Cup - and his underdog tale is the story of the season so far in Flat racing The good news is this season there is hope emerging on many different levels. Most recently, of course, Richard Hughes banged in Saturday's Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket. That will have given Hughes hope, and many other trainers will be thinking 'it could be me next'. But it's been a Flat season where Hughes - who was in tears during an emotional interview with me moments after his biggest win - is not the only one to have hit the jackpot. Docklands banged in the Group 1 Queen Anne at Royal Ascot for Harry Eustace. That's massive for the young up-and-coming handler, and while the horse is owned by a group with plenty of cash to splash, it still gives everyone hope. Eustace, of course, doubled up in Group 1s by also banging in the Commonwealth Cup with Time for Sandals. And don't forget old Scotsman Jim Goldie, who was responsible for American Affair taking the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes, also at Royal Ascot. Don't also forget the Irish raider Cercene, who took the Coronation Stakes and a first Group 1 for both trainer Joe Murphy and jockey Gary Carroll. Why is this so important? After all sport is just about finding out who is best of the best, it's not about who is actually taking the prizes. Well it's crucial because, as I have said, everyone needs hope. Other than those I have mentioned, Group 1 races in the UK so far in 2025 have gone to Ruling Court, Desert Flower, Lead Artist, Jan Brueghel, Minnie Hawk, Lambourn, Field of Gold, Ombudsman, Trawlerman, Lazzat, Delacroix and Cinderella's Dream. The owners of that lot are some of the richest people in the world in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Ireland and Qatar. Godolphin, Juddmonte, Coolmore and Wathnan Racing cough up more money than most for horses. For most people matching them is the stuff of dreams. But there is not only hope in what has happened in Group 1 races this term. Eve Johnson Houghton is also giving people hope, as is Jonny Portman, who is having a fantastic season headed by horses like Rumstar and had a terrific treble at Newbury the other day. He's trading at 20 per cent with a massive 28 victories this season. Since he started training in 1998 the most victors he has ever had in a campaign has been 33. Portman is on fire. Eve landed the Group 2 Kingdom of Bahrain July Stakes with Zavateri and also enjoyed success at Royal Ascot thanks to Havana Hurricane in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes. Superpowers are needed in every sport to inject cash. But for the people just below the mega players hope is so important. And this is a Flat season of hope for all.

Create Account North American golfers making their first trip to links land to play golf's oldest courses will find a great number of differences between the game they know at home and the one they find on this side of the pond. One of the biggest differences are sand traps that can sink your round in one hole if you aren't careful. Or sometimes even if you are careful. Canada's Mackenzie Hughes has one of the best short games in golf, so we asked him on Monday at The Open what the secret is to getting the ball out of these terrifying traps. 'The bunkers are incredibly soft and fluffy, so you're kind of adjusting your technique to that as well,' he said of the sand that feels more like a beach than a bunker. Hughes says much of the battle is allowing your equipment to help you rather than hurt you. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'A lot more using the bounce and opening the face up even more,' he said. The bounce of a wedge is the angle between the leading edge of the clubface and the low point of the sole. If you aren't an expert, the bounce will either be a number (likely between 4-14) or a letter (such as low, mid or high). 'Use a club with more bounce in sand like that,' Hughes said. 'The club wants to dig in and it wants to go deep and you're trying to get that club to not dig in, so you need to use the bounce a little more. You might even be opening the face more than you think to open it up, that's the adjustment I make for it over here, it's quite a bit different.' Rather than rushing out to buy new wedges, take a look at your current wedges and figure out which one has the most bounce and start trying to hit sand shots with that if you come across some soft and fluffy sand.

Chris Hughes Shares How His Relationship With Jojo Siwa Has Influenced Him
After forming a fast friendship on Celebrity Big Brother U.K., JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes sparked public interest with their growing bond. In the weeks following the show, the pair traveled together, spent time with each other's families, and shared increasingly affectionate posts online, further fueling speculation about a possible romance. The former housemates initially described their connection as a 'soulmate friendship' during an April interview on This Morning. One month later, Siwa and Hughes have begun to offer some clarity into their romance. Here's everything we know about their relationship so far. Siwa and Hughes were both contestants on Celebrity Big Brother U.K. At the time, Siwa was still in a relationship with Australian actor Kath Ebbs. However, viewers took note of her chemistry with Hughes, especially during emotional moments in the house. The two frequently spent time together on the show, with Hughes defending Siwa during a difficult confrontation with another contestant. During an appearance on The Useless Hotline Podcast, Siwa said his support was part of what made her realize 'he's a good man.' 'He is somebody I would want my children to be like,' she shared on the podcast. 'He's such a great gentleman. He's also hilarious and a good ball of fun. He's a special guy.' 'We're very similar in our energy, in our outlook on life,' Siwa added. 'Chris was there for me at my lowest times and I was there for him at his lowest times. That's what made it so special.' She also praised Hughes's reaction to the homophobic comments she received on the show, saying, 'That showed Chris's true personality and it was beautiful to see. People obviously say what they want about people, but that showed me who he really is.' Speculation about Siwa and Hughes's relationship continued, especially after the two traveled together and began appearing in each other's social media posts. On May 20, Siwa performed a cover of 'Bette Davis Eyes' in Mexico and changed the lyrics mid-song to reference Hughes—singing, 'He's got Chris Hughes' eyes.' The following day, Siwa celebrated her 22nd birthday by sharing an Instagram, opening with a photo of her resting her head on Hughes's shoulder. 'A week I'll remember for the rest of my life,' she wrote. Hughes posted his own photos, writing, 'The previous 7 days have been the prettiest.. 😊💫🎂.' On June 1, Hughes appeared to confirm their relationship with a Snapchat photo of himself shirtless in bed, kissing Siwa on the forehead. The caption read, 'Sleeepinnn beauty.' The next day, Siwa publicly confirmed their romance in an interview with The Guardian, stating: 'It's not platonic anymore, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him.' She also addressed rumors that the relationship was a publicity stunt, saying, 'Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now.' 'Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much,' she added. She also said she woke up to Hughes singing one of her songs that morning. 'You know when you're alone, how you feel? You are your true, raw self,' she explained. 'I've obviously felt like that before, but never around one single person.' On July 12, Hughes told The Sun's Fabulous Magazine about his relationship with Siwa. 'Life has an unexpected way of bringing two people together, and this feels like that,' Hughes shared. 'We were meant to cross paths. We keep saying to each other it was serendipity. Life handed me a blessing in my lap.' Hughes added that when he met the Dance Moms alum he experienced a 'magical feeling,' recognizing her as 'the most precious person.' 'I adored the ground she walked on and the way she handled herself,' he continued. He then offered a timeline of their romance, saying when the show ended they still talked 'all the time.' He then 'flew to Mexico City to surprise her,' beginning the 'best three days of my life.' 'Our first kiss was genuinely special—it felt like I was in a movie,' he explained. 'I can't keep my hands off her now.' As for the negative and positive attention their relation has garnered: 'I don't care,' said Hughes, continuing, 'I wouldn't go to the effort of loving someone for any other reason than it being real. Having been in this industry for eight years, I needed to adapt to having criticism from different angles. The past few months have actually made me a little stronger mentally.'
