Rachel King wins Ladies Hurdle at Ludlow

19-12-2012

Today’s biggest field of the day at Ludlow was the amateur lady jockeys’ hurdle with 13 going to post on a torrential winter’s day.

In the testing conditions the field were soon strung out and as they turned for home the final time Gina Andrews and Claire Hart led into the straight with Rachel King biding her time on Martin Bosley’s DRUSSELL to take up the lead over the last and stay on well to win by 3/4 length.

Many thanks to Ludlow Racecourse for their fantastic support of amateur jockeys, staging an amateur race at every meeting possible, and congratulations to Rachel and winning connections.
