Richard Fahey reached 200 winners for the year when Furzig won the 32Red Casino Novice Median Auction Stakes at Lingfield on the last day of 2017.

His record is 235 in 2015 and he went agonisingly close to a double century last year when finishing just two short.

However, Furzig (7-2) ensured the Musley Bank handler ended the year on a high when scoring by a length and a quarter from Kath's Lustre under Tony Hamilton.

"It's grand. We missed it last year by two. It's just nice to get it," said Fahey.

"We've had a great year and I'm very pleased for everyone - the lads and the whole lot."

Ribchester was Fahey's star performer, with three wins at the top level in the Lockinge Stakes, the Queen Anne Stakes and the Prix du Moulin as the stable amassed more than £2.3million in prize money.
