Aamilah Aswat made turf history at Kempton Park when becoming the first female black jockey to ride a winner over jumps.

The 20-year-old partnered 9-1 chance Guchen to a length-and-a-quarter success in the handicap hurdle over two miles and five furlongs. The same horse had provided Aswat with her first ride in public, also at Kempton Park, when finishing fifth in a similar contest back in November.

Guchen is trained by Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls and owned by a syndicate that supports the Ebony Horse Club, which aims to provide disadvantaged young people in south London with riding opportunities.
