Gina Andrews reached another significant landmark in a career littered with achievements when riding her 400th British point-to-point winner this afternoon.

Riding Master Templar, who she also trains, Warwickshire-based Andrews won the ladies’ open race to reach her fourth century and extend her record of victories by a woman point-to-point rider. The ten-time British champion went on to ride a treble.
