Best moment of the day at Newmarket was the first race,the 2.05,the Suffolk Stakes. I have never seen a jockey as nervous as the girl apprentice, a five pound claimer, on a filly Boonga Roogeta,was as she left the parade ring. The filly was completely calm unlike the rider, who kept patting the filly distractedly for no purpose while giving a nervous smile.
She rode the race beautifully and brought the filly home the winner. There was something of a different state of mind as she entered the winner's enclosure !
