Just another manic Monday for the new champion jockey

He is 15 winners clear with six days left. One bookmaker has already paid out, while another offers odds of 1-100 about Jim Crowley lifting the champion Flat jockeys' trophy for the first time on British Champions Day. Yet the man in question refuses to believe.

'I'm clear, but I'm not dropping my guard," says Crowley at the beginning of a landmark week. "I want to continue banging a few winners in and I won’t believe until my hands are on the trophy. Even at this moment now I still don't think I've done it."

There are 32 Flat races in Britain on Monday, Crowley has rides in 12 of them. No matter who or how many tell him he has done enough, there is not a chance he will drop his hands before the finish.
