Cheltenham Festival: Bryony Frost makes history on emotional day

The 23-year-old Frost was roared home by an ecstatic crowd to win the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase onboard the Paul Nicholls-trained Frodon to secure her place in the record books.

The pair's stunning triumph sparked a remarkable hour of racing which also yielded victory for blind owner Andrew Gemmell's Paisley Park and saw Lizzie Kelly clinch a double for female jockeys.

'He's Pegasus! He's got wings,' said an overjoyed Frost to ITV Racing at the finish line.

'Most horses would quit, but he grabbed me by the hands and said, 'don't you dare give up, don't you dare not send me into the last - I want this more than you, now come on, where are you?'

'Just look at what he's done there - deny that he just loves racing. He's unbelievable. I love you.'

Frost added: 'He just made the dream come true, it's just incredible. He will deserve every single high five, pat and carrot.'

'One of best days ever'

The pair was treated to a thunderous reception as they returned to the parade ring where Frost's family were waiting to congratulate the history maker.

'I'm just so proud of her, that was an amazing ride,' said Frost's mum in front of her visibly emotional daughter.

Many on social media were calling Frost's win the best moment so far of this year's jump racing showpiece, and Frodon's trainer Nicholls agreed.

'One of the best days ever,' said the 10-time champion trainer, who has won the Cheltenham Gold Cup four times with legendary horses such as Kauto Star and Denman.

Frost's female colleague Rachael Blackmore also claimed an impressive Festival win onboard A Plus Tard on Wednesday.

In the following race, Paisley Park -- a horse that almost died two years ago -- clinched the Stayers' Hurdle to whip the crowd into a further frenzy.

Owner Gemmell, who was born blind, was crying and dancing in the stands as someone narrated the race to him.

'Wonderful. It's fantastic. I'm aware we're on air so I won't say what I want!' he told BBC Radio 5 live after his first festival winner.

'I can't believe it's happened. I'm in tears. Wow. I couldn't see the race but that roar is incredible!'
