Hayley might be an expert on the track but how does she cope with the pressure of our fiendish quick-fire quiz? And, even more importantly, how did you do?

Here’s a question. Will Moore soar again this year at #RoyalAscot ? Or, will another from this fine array of jockeys take the top spot? Please do let us know.

Ryan Moore is quite the sportsman. With six wins, he was our leading jockey at #RoyalAscot last year – a title he’s earned not once, not twice, but 10 times. Bravo Mr. Moore.

With a fine field of jockeys around the globe right now, who, for you, stands head and shoulders (or, rather, helmet and stirrups) above the rest?
