Classic-winning trainer George Boughey set a new personal best in June with 24 winners in a single month – even while deliberately targeting races with more prize-money.

Boughey surpassed his previous best tally of 23 from October 2022. In doing so, he also scooped just over £450,000 in prize-money, surpassing his previous best return of £427,863 in May 2022, the month he sent out Cachet to win the 1,000 Guineas.

Identifying races with better prize-money has been a deliberate tweak in race management for Boughey this season.
