Worcestershire trainer Hannah Lewis teamed up with leading woman amateur Heidi Palin to land Saturday’s Jockey Club 0-110 Series Final Hunters’ Chase at Warwick with Malinas Glory.
By recording her eighth victory under rules this season Palin went to the head of the Amateur Jockeys’ Association championship for women riders. Gina Andrews lies second on seven winners with Olive Nicholls on five.
Lewis (pictured above on left of Malinas Glory – photo from Warwick Racecourse) was a leading point-to-point rider before retiring at the end of the 2020/21 season to focus on handling breakers, pre-trainers and a handful of pointers. She said of the winner, who carried the colours of Julia Oakey (pictured next to Lewis): “I’m so proud of him. He was bought by Martin Oliver, Julia’s partner, and came over from Ireland towards the end of last year.
“After he ran at Bangor [in March on his first start for Lewis] Martin suggested the 0-110 final, so it was his plan. We ran him at Paxford in the final qualifying race, which he won, and then he went to Chaddesley Corbett because it was a nice little race and Martin was keen to support the organising hunt.”

The sequence paid off on Saturday when nine-year-old Malinas Glory made all the running, fought off the challenge of Walkin Out and then defied the late effort of Good Source who finished runner-up, beaten two and a half lengths.
Lewis said: “I was worried about Walkin Out before the race because she was rated 11lb better than him and yet with allowances he had to concede her 21lb. I couldn’t see how he could beat her, but he did.
“Heidi is phenomenal – she has all the attributes; her attitude and ability are second to none. She’s based with the Skeltons and has received plenty of good advice from Harry, but from the first time I met her she’s been so professional and her feedback is excellent. I stood back the other day and looked at her and thought ‘You’re top dollar – she’s got it all’. I also admire the fact that she’s not from a racing background and has had to do it all on her ability.”

Martin Oliver buys and sells horses, and Lewis accepts that Malinas Glory might be in a new yard next season, although she said: “If that happens I’m proud to be part of his journey. I could certainly see him winning handicaps through the summer.”
The 0-110 Series has had its critics, but Lewis is a fan, and said: “It’s a wonderful series. For so many years there has been criticism that top trainers run highly-rated horses in hunters’ chases, and here is a series for horses who have never been rated above 110 and have had to run in a qualifying point-to-point to make the final. It’s great for horses of a lower grade and the prize money [nearly £5,000 to the winner] was excellent.”
