HADWINS MARES SERIES

Donald McCain strengthened his grip in the race to claim the £1,000 bonus prize attached to the Hadwins Mares series when he took latest round with Titanium Moon at Cartmel’s Sunday meeting earlier this month

It was the second time Titanium Moon had won a round of the series in the hands of three-times champion jockey Brian Hughes, and it leaves McCain 18 points ahead of his nearest rivals with just a couple of rounds to go

A decent performer on the Flat for David Loughnane last year, Titanium Moon only joined the McCain yard earlier this year and she is very much

A Mare On The Upgrade

The win takes McCain on to 30 points, more than he amassed last season when winning the bonus without actually winning any of the races. He now leads Iain Jardine, Alastair Ralph and Oliver Sherwood, who share second place.
