Gina Andrews enjoys Longines success at Ascot
30-07-2018
Many congratulations to multiple champion point-to-point jockey and amateur NH champion Gina Andrews on a great victory when partnering CLIFFS OF CAPRI for Jamie Osborne in the Longines Handicap over 7f at Ascot on Saturday where 12 runners went to post.
Amateur Lady NH Champion Jockey in 2010/11 as well as runner up in 2008/9, 2014/5 (runner up to sister Bridget) and 2015/16, Gina’s win made her an unusual double on the big stage, her other high profile success being the Fluke Walwyn Kim Muir at Cheltenham Festival 2017 with Domesday Book for Stuart Edmunds.
Arguably one of our strongest lady riders, Gina urged her horse 2 furlongs from home to score decisively by 2 lengths from Joanna Mason and NORMANDY BARRIERE with Lisa O’Neill and NICK VEDDER a neck third.
Well done Gina!
