Fern O'Brien booted home her first winner when Lord P (GB) (Brazen Beau {Aus}) won at 25-1 in the VL Aesthetics Honours Shona Cunningham H. at Carlisle on Monday. Lord P, who races for Martin Breeze, captured the event by 3 1/4 lengths and hails from O'Brien's father Fergal's Ravenswell yard.

She said, “It was a bit of a steering job to be honest. He's very good and it was just very easy, I didn't need to do much more than push the button. I did my pony amateur course back in June so I was all ready to go the second I turned 16. I had my last pony race four days ago, turned 16 two days ago and now I'm here.

“I was lucky with the draw in that I was in quite late and only sat in for a maximum of 30 seconds and it was very easy after that. From halfway I was thinking he was still travelling very well and I found a bit of a gap which opened up for me, he went through that and just stayed on all the way to the line–which was really good.”
