THE reigning, and multiple, Fuller’s men’s champion, Will Biddick, became the first British amateur to record 500 successes, between point-to-points and track races in Ireland and Britain, when landing the mares’ maiden at Chipley Park on Sunday, January 26th.

Biddick’s record-achieving mount was the six-year-old Flemensfirth mare Minella Beag who was having her third start, and first this season, for trainer Ed Walker. The bay was bred in Co Tipperary by John Nallen out of the Definite Article mare, Minella Lady.
