Many congratulations to Jodie Hughes who has already enjoyed a spectacular point-to-point season this year, which provided compensation for her long layoff much of the last two seasons following shattering her wrist in a race fall.

She is now in flying form and in her own words enjoyed “the best day of her life” today when giving Angela Clarke her first training career win with PANACHE at Worcester riding against professionals over hurdles and winning at 100-1!

With AP in 3rd, the win felt extra special for Jodie and she even managed a selfie with the beaten champion in the Weighing Room!  Well done Jodie!
