Tom Bellamy is having quite the year having recently surpassed his previous season’s best of 37 winners.
It was his taking victory in Warwick’s Grade 3 Classic Handicap Chase that means he is a worthy nominee in the January Jockey of the Month competition.
Eclair Surf was given a bold, front-running ride by Tom Bellamy leaving trainer Emma Lavelle delighted with the jockey.
“Tom is a massive team player which is great for us and when he’s riding, yes he’s thinking about the day, but he’s also thinking about the next day and the next day,” said Lavelle.
For Bellamy it was also a hugely important victory for himself and the partnership.
“This means a lot, it’s certainly the biggest win we’ve had together, a £100,000 handicap,” he said.
