Paul Hanagan is a Classic-winning British flat racing jockey who became a champion jockey in 2010.
Paul Hanagan Biography
He was born on September 8, 1980, in Warrington, Cheshire. He is 42 years old.
A graduate of the British Racing School, Hanagan sat on a horse for the first time aged 14, having previously harboured ambitions of playing football professionally, only to be told he was too small and light.
The 2002 season also saw Hanagan record the biggest win of his career at the time on Vintage Premium in the John Smith’s Cup at York.
His introduction to horse racing came through his father, Geoff, who had hoped to be a jockey and, having failed to make the grade in Newmarket,
His siblings are unknown.
Hanagan went on to help out at Caldwell’s yard in Warrington, Cheshire, riding out for the first time aged 14 and continuing his work experience there until leaving school to start a 9-week course at the British Racing School in 1997.
Hanagan’s first job in racing came with the Norton-based trainer Malcolm Jefferson, who despite being better known as a trainer of National Hunt horses, gave Hanagan his first racecourse ride on Stone Beck at Haydock Park on 4 September 1998, finishing 4th.
Paul Hanagan is a leading British flat horse racing jockey. Hanagan has twice been crowned champion jockey on the flat in Britain, riding 165 winners in 2011 to defend his title, having won his first title with 191 winners in 2010.
Hanagan became the first northern-based jockey ever to win the flat championship more than once, and having initially suggested he would not go all out for a third title in a row in 2012, he suggested in late November 2011 that, while he wanted to focus on riding a better quality of horse, he may try to retain the championship
His hopes of a third title did not materialise, and he finished fifth in the jockeys’ championships of both 2012 and 2013, dropping out of the top 5 completely in 2014.
Hanagan’s Championship season was enhanced by the top-class two-year-old Wootton Bassett, who finished the season unbeaten in five starts, the last four of those under Hanagan. These victories included major sales races at York and Doncaster, but most importantly a win in the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp, providing Hanagan with the first top-level success of his career.

Though Wootton Bassett was unable to add to those successes at three and was retired to stud at the end of the 2011 campaign, he had played an important part in Hanagan’s career.
