Bryony Frost: ‘It doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or a girl’

Frodon’s propensity to battle is matched only by his jockey Bryony Frost’s ability to talk, and the two combined to make history in yesterday’s Ryanair Chase, when the winning rider became the first female jockey to taste Grade 1 success over jumps at the Festival.

And after six consecutive winning favourites, the 9-2 chance’s win could hardly be described as a respite for the layers as Frost and Frodon have been a popular partnership all season, and this was their fourth win in five starts this term.
