BRILLIANT BRIDGET

- COUNTY HURDLE

BRIDGET ANDREWS had boyfriend Harry Skelton trailing in her wake as Mohaayed sprang a 33-1 shock.

Andrews drove her mount to success over Remiluc — Skelton deadheated for fifth on Spiritofth­egames — to become the second profession­al woman jockey to ride a Festival winner.

“That’s my best moment in racing by a million per cent,” said the jockey. “Harry got off Mohaayed to ride Spiritofth­egames because of the ground.”

Skelton, whose brother Dan trains both horses, added: “I just prayed she would hold on.”
