Lizzie Kelly
Lizzie Kelly is a British jockey who participates in National Hunt racing. Kelly rides horses for her horse trainer stepfather, Nick Williams, and also for trainer Neil King.[1] In early November 2015 she came second on Aubusson in the Grand Prix d'Automne at Auteil. If she had won she would have been the first female jockey to win a grade 1 race in France.[2] On Boxing Day 2015 however she gained her most notable success to date when Tea For Two won the Kauto Star Novices' Chase, making her the first female jockey to win a Grade One race in Britain.[3] It was a family celebration as Tea for two was trained by Nick Williams and owned by her mother Jane Williams.[4] In February 2016 she won Europe's richest handicap hurdle, the Betfair Hurdle, on Agrapart at Newbury.[5]
