The first British Muslim woman to win a horse race in Britain has made her amateur debut.
Khadijah Mellah, then aged 18, made history by winning the Markel Magnolia Cup in 2019, months after riding a horse for the first time.
On Friday, she rode in her debut race as an amateur jockey at Goodwood Racecourse, finishing sixth.
“I hope that this is a statement that outsiders and people from different backgrounds can really push to continue to progress and exceed expectations, and hopefully ride more winners,” she said.
