Congratulations to Lizzie Kelly (04-11C) who has made racing history by becoming the first female jockey to win a grade One race in Britain. In February she won Europe's richest handicap hurdle, the Betfair Hurdle, on Agrapart, the first female rider to have won in the race’s history.
 
It was lovely to see Lizzie at the recent OWBA reunion and we wish her every success in the future!
