Richard Hughes (jockey) → Richard Hughes (horseman) – Hughes was formerly a jockey but is now a racehorse trainer. "Horseman" has been used previously as a disambiguator where an individual has had more than one role in horse racing Bcp67 (talk) 20:24, 7 June 2016 (UTC) -- Relisting.

 * Oppose. A "horseman" is anyone who rides a horse. Terrible disambiguator, whether it's been used before or not. "Jockey" is perfectly sufficient for disambiguation purposes. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: The disambiguator might be a problem, though no, not anyone who rides a horse is a "horseman" -- it's a term of art that references a high level of skill with horses, and doesn't even necessarily encompass riding.  But more to the point, Hughes is no longer a jockey.  We could also consider Richard Hughes (horse trainer), perhaps. Or rename to include his middle initial, which is a way around the problem.

 * Reply Well, we've discussed middle initials before... I've also seen (horse racing) used, as in Paul Nicholls (horse racing) although I don't much like that either as it doesn't properly describe the person. I'm also now thinking that maybe this is a touch early as both O'Brien and Hughes are still known primarily for their careers as jockeys rather than trainers - both have been champion jockeys but are only starting out as trainers. Am thinking I might withdraw both RMs. Bcp67 (talk) 20:20, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Might be wise. They could both still pull a Gary Stevens and go back to riding, too (Stevens also did a stint as a trainer and a whole bunch of other things in his 7-year layoff...).   Montanabw (talk)  03:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
