Jockey Becky Brisbourne follows father Mark's success

Shropshire jockey Becky Brisbourne made it four wins from 14 rides and maintained dad Mark's great run over the last week with victory at Warwick.

Becky overcame trouble in running before getting 14-1 shot Amana home in the Amateur Riders Handicap in the family's colours last night.

And it was very much a family affair, with mother Pat leading up the horse.

Last Monday, Nesscliffe-based handler Brisbourne landed a 40-1 winner with Pendle Lady and followed up on Saturday with 10-1 success Dancing Primo.

Now Amana has obliged at 14-1 and Brisbourne admitted: "It was not a surprise.

"She was been working well at home and when I saw how much rain they had, then it worked in her favour."

Becky said: "The plan was to keep up with the pace but halfway down the back, I had some interference because we were all so tight.

"Half a mile from home, I thought we had little chance but then a gap opened and she went through it so well."

The mare, who was a winner at Rosscommon in her native Ireland, went on to beat Lady Lam by three lengths with joint 9-2 favourite Wrecking Crew a further one and quarter lengths back in third place.
