Tessa Good ended a six-year wait for her first winner with a runaway success aboard Boyne Banks in front of a huge crowd at the Old Berkshire Hunt meeting at Lockinge, near Wantage, yesterday.

Good, 47, who lives at nearby Ginge, sent the 11-year-old, trained by Roger Wernham at Lockinge, into the lead when the tapes went up in the members' race, and they were never headed.

She had 20 lengths to spare at the line over Fair Kiowa, with many of the estimated 12-15,000 racegoers still making their way into the course.

Good said: "It's fantastic to do it in your own members' race and at a course close to home. I have been trying for six years. I didn't have my first ride until I was older and that's my 13th attempt."

The victory was a real family affair as Boyne Banks is owned by her parents, Tony and Sallieok Good, who live at Letcombe Regis, near Wantage, and were also recording their first winner.

It was also a red letter day for Camilla Henderson, 18-year-old daughter of Lambourn trainer Nicky Henderson, who posted her first win on her father's Geos in the members' race for novice riders.

Camilla, who is in her last year at St Mary's School, Wantage, took up the running on the 11-year-old on the second circuit after Astley Gold broke down.

A dual winner of Newbury's Tote Gold Trophy, Geos kept up the gallop to hold off Father Jim by a length and a half.

"It was really exciting," said Camilla. "Although it was a bit scary because one horse has broke its leg in front of me and there was also a loose horse."

Mat Hazell, who trains at Denchworth, near Wantage, broke his duck for the season when Matrix and Jonathan Jarrett held off Kalypso De Laugere by a head in the intermediate race.

Hazell had tipped the 10-1 shot, owned by Colonel Robert Webb-Brown, who lives at Fernham, near Faringdon, to his Uffington FC teammates.

"I suspect the beer tent is rocking well if they are not in the traffic jam," said Hazell.

Sharlom, trained by Theresa McCurrich at Chaddesley Corbett in Worcestershire, was brought with a powerful late run by Micky Harris to collar Young Thruster by a neck in the VW Touraeg Men's Open.

Freddie De Giles, from Highworth, took the restricted on his father Jonathen'sok 15-year-old grey, Alheri.

And another grey, Cedar, landed the open maiden for Shipston-on-Stour trainer Julie Marles in the hands of Charlie Wadland.

Ten-year-old Laura Jenkins, from Bicester, repeated her win of 12 months ago aboard Barkway Little Swift in one of the two pony races at the meeting.
