Merthyr Mawr Jockey Jack Earns Point-To-Point Double

Teenager Jack Tudor landed a double at Sunday’s Melton Hunt Club Point-To-Point at Garthorpe and both were trained by his father Jonathan Tudor who is also having a cracking season.

The 17-year-old Jac, from Merthyr Mawr, rode a winner at the Gelligaer Farmers fixture on Saturday and followed that with his two-timer.
He won the club members’ race aboard his godfather Philip Thomas’ eight-year-old bay gelding Blazing Tom and the novice riders’ race on Steve Young’s 11-year-old bay gelding NorthGeorge.

His John Constable, ridden by stable jockey Adam Wedge, was beaten by two 20-1 shots, Le Patriote and Project Bluebook, in a 17-runner field.
Evan, though, was back in the winner’s enclosure on Sunday after his seven-year-old Marble Moon won the novices’ handicap chase at Ludlow.
The bottom weighted Marble Moon, a 6-1 chance, won by six lengths from the well fancied Heydour.
Aberthin’s Tim Vaughan landed the maiden hurdle at Hexham with Eva’s Oskar, who scored by four-and-a-half lengths from Flemens Story.
Welsh jockey Connor Brace won the handicap hurdle at Plumpton on 9-2 chance Alanjou.
At Lingfield’s Saturday evening meeting, Welsh-speaking jockey David Probert, from Bargoed, landed a 39-1 double with Neff (7-1) and Dance Legend (4-1).
