Will Biddick, the seven-time point-to-point men’s champion rider in Britain, is not resting on his laurels after notching a remarkable 500 winners.
The Cornishman rode a double at Milborne St Andrew on Sunday, when he was presented with a bottle of champagne by the Point-to-Point Authority (PPA) in recognition of his 500-feat, which had been achieved seven days earlier at Chipley Park in Somerset. Peter Wright (pictured with Biddick above), chief executive of the PPA, made the presentation during racing.
In wins alone Biddick is in a league of his own among amateur riders who are or were based in Britain. Marcus Armytage, who rode three Cheltenham Festival winners and recorded a Grand National success on Mr Frisk, retired after bringing up a century, while Sam Waley-Cohen, who won a Cheltenham Gold Cup and two King George VI Chases on Long Run, remains a leading amateur but has ridden less than half of Biddick’s total.
Richard Burton rode three Cheltenham Festival winners and scored Foxhunter Chase wins at that meeting and Aintree, but retired on 476 winners while eight-time women’s point-to-point champion Polly Gundry recorded 351 winners.
Biddick became the first British amateur rider to reach 500 winners in all forms of racing when scoring on the Ed Walker-trained Minella Beag at Chipley Park. That took his overall score in British point-to-points to 437 (now 439) – the remaining 63 winners are comprised of 58 over jumps under Rules (including hunters’ chases), one on the Flat, two in Irish hunter chases – both on Caid Du Berlais at Punchestown – and two in Irish point-to-points. The latter two wins came during the Anglo-Irish Challenge at Tattersalls Farm in 2013 and at Fairyhouse in 2014.
Biddick was shocked when told of his achievement, and exclaimed: “I never think of wins under Rules or in Ireland, just of point-to-points in Britain.”
Confirming his ambition to ride 500 winners in point-to-points alone, Biddick added: “I’m still loving the job, and as long as I’m riding in races I’m giving it everything. It’s not something you can do half-heartedly and I don’t want to just fizzle out.”
