We’ve had a great response to this new award, with nearly 1,000 votes cast for the best performances of the 2023/2024 season.
The participants responsible for the three moments with the most votes were invited to the National Dinner & Dance at Hatherley Manor in Gloucestershire on Saturday 29th June.
Our judging panel deliberated the merits of the final candidates… and the winner - Martin McIntyre - was announced on the night.
Martin – known to many as ‘Fly’ – travelled to Lockinge from his Devon base on Easter Monday to ride two horses for Bea Coward – they both won, and Rocky Creed became his 100th winner between the flags, to go with 17 under rules. Martin has been riding in Britain since 2011 and has a season’s best of 23 – one of the top jockeys in the country, he often ‘flies’ beneath the radar.
