Matt Barber wins AJA Hurdle at Stratford

30-08-2012

Two of our lady jockeys, Siobhan Doolan and Harriet Bethell, had an eye on the clock at Stratford this afternoon with rides also booked at Kempton later in the evening.  Stratford’s hurdle race was not without incident, with Siobhan unseated at the first hurdle and Nico de Boinville also parting company with his mount at the last flight, leaving Matt Barber alone in front to win for Tim Vaughan with LOUIS LUDWIG.

Siobhan gained swift compensation in the ladies race at Kempton later by snatching victory by 3/4 of a length on ST IGNATIUS for Alan Bailey in a driving finish from Michelle Mullineaux on SIR BOSS.
