Supernanny takes Chaddesley by storm after winning on first ride

Good riders from any equestrian discipline can try point-to-pointing, often with unexpected success.

At Chaddesley Corbett on Tuesday a 12-runner maiden race seemed to revolve around Gina Andrews and odds-on favourite Captain Biggles, who had finished second in four of seven races under rules for Olly Murphy before joining Tom Ellis.

When the race began to unfold, Captain Biggles was in a group of four horses to pull clear and among them was a handsome dark bay called Tara Storm under a nearly-motionless novice having her first ride. Eve Hobbs, her stirrup leathers set at safety-first length, seemed hesitant about joining the party, yet as Captain Biggles came under pressure she sent Tara Storm on at the final fence and ran out a convincing winner.
