GINA Andrews recorded her 200th win between the flags at Cottenham on Sunday, December 2nd when the 11-year-old Milan gelding Sharp Suit landed the four-runner ladies’ open by eight lengths.

The five-time, and reigning, ladies’ champion rode her first winner, Moving Earth, at the same track in February 2008, a week after celebrating her 16th birthday. She has also partnered two point-to-point winners in Ireland.

Sharp Suit is trained by Alan Hill who later welcomed Andrews’s brother Jack back to the number one spot following the win of Captiva Island, a 2/5 chance, in the four, five and six-year-old maiden over two and a half miles. The 2/5 favourite, who beat Gina’s mount Hot To Trot by 10 lengths, is a 2013 Scorpion gelding who was bred by Christopher Maye out of the Mujtahid mare Sapphire Eile.

The bay’s three-year-older full-brother Black Jewel won the preceding three-mile maiden under his owner Gordy Hopkinson who had Gina Andrews a head behind in second on the 5/4 favourite, Latenightpass. This gelding is trained by Francesca Nimmo.

There were two other Irish-bred winners on the six-race card, the first of them being the 10-year-old Beneficial gelding Now Ben who claimed the men’s open for last season’s leading trainer and rider combination, Phil Rowley and Alex Edwards.

Jos Lovegrove-Fielden partnered his first winner when the eight-year-old Urban Ocean gelding Urban Storm won the three-runner restricted in which Gina Andrews again had to settle for second on the 1/2 favourite, Fox Valley.
